If you're NOT going to read anything else that I spent hours writing here... Do you want a patriotic, successful businessman, or do you want a known politicking scoundrel who is constantly mired in scandal and intrigue, who, somehow, has far more money than the successful businessman?
If you're reading past this point, thank you. I spent a lot of time writing and researching this and I did it for free.
Donald Trump stands for American Nationalism against Globalism. 'Free trade' as they call it does not enrich us - it has caused a regression to the mean between us and nations with lesser cultural, economic, and social values. We don't want to be like everyone else - we want to be different, the USA is UNIQUE and Trump is the only candidate in decades that wants it to remain like that. How can our own leaders possibly allow americans to lose out, so that other nations can benefit at our expense? It's self destructive. Free trade isn't "free" for US, it costs us BIG time, in terms of jobs and whole industries moving out, and WHAT do we get out of it? Donald trump has been speaking about this since the early 80s. This is NOT a new platform for him. This is not something he just thought of to help him get elected. He's WATCHED this happen since the early 80s, up close and personal, in the vast international business dealings he's had, and in the first rate education and training he received starting when he was only a child.
Starting from when he was a child. Donald trump didn't have a childhood the way that you and I did. His grandfather was not an extremely wealthy man. Friedrich Drumpf was born in germany, 1869. His father died in 1877. Friedrichs five siblings worked in the grape fields, as manual labor, but Friedrich was too sickly. When he turned 14 his mother sent him to become a barber's apprentice. He returrned home, but couldn't find work. So he wrote his mother a note and left in the night for America, at the age of 16.
The US immigration employee wrote his name down as Trumpf, and he started working as a barber. He saved his money for six years - imagine someone doing that now. In 1891, he bought a hotel/restaurant in Washington state, on the bad side of town. He was elected to the position of "Justice of the Peace", which was like a civil affairs judge who dealt with small claims. He built hotels wherever miners were going around for gold. His life savings amounted to half a million dollars.
Donald trumps father continued in his fathers business. He died worth 250-300 million, although still extremely frugal, saving his own nails, doing his own mice extermination, mixing his own floor cleaners.
The Trump legacy is not the story of old money. His grandfather was poor, and died middle class. His father was middle class, and died wealthy. And Donald was born to wealth, which he multiplied more than tenfold. The people who back Hillary clinton, the people who back Bush, these are people who have had wealth for many, many centuries. Donald trump is new money - American money. It's ironic that people rag on him as though he's the 'wealthy' candidate when Hillary clinton easily has 40 to 50 billion dollars, and, who knows how she actually accumulated that? Certainly not through honest business dealings.
What Donald Trump has recieved was an upbringing in the true Aristocratic tradition, where one was born with great privileges that entailed also great duty and responsibility to those whose fortunes lie under him. He attended extremely strict and demanding military and private schools, as well as the New York military academy. When he began university he also began working with his families company.
From here we can begin an analysis of the beginnings of his public involvement and political career.
1980 - Donald trump said he didn't want to be president. he said someone with unpopular ideas wouldn't be able to win against someone with a small brain and big smile.
1987 - Oprah asked trump if he'd ever run. he said he liked his job too much, but he gets tired of seeing the country ripped off in trade. he said he'd have a hell of a chance of winning though, because he wouldn't go in to lose. and if he won we wouldn't be taken advantage of any more.
1988 - Donald trump classified himself as an east german republican, identifying himself with the republican because he liked regular people more than schmoozing politicians and investors and so forth. in 1988 he attended the republican convention spoke to reporters about the ads he had taken out in the NY times, advocating policies that would benefit america.
1989 - Donald trump has become something of a role model for the nation as someone who knew what he was doing. He's been ahead of the markets for a long time now. And here he points out on television that at some point, OUR ECONOMY WILL FAIL - because while other nations are accumulating liquid capital from us, we're absorbing vast debt from them. It can't last forever. He states, he would prefer that someone else be president, but, that he doesn't know if someone is there to do what is necessary for our nation. He says that whoever comes along to be that president - (he actually says he or she) - will be so strong and popular and smart, that they could reverse the course our nation is taking.
1991 - Donald trump spoke before the House Hearing on US economic recovery for the house budget commitee. He explained how government ineptitude and collusion led to the market crash destroyed itself and created debt and poverty.
1999 - Donald Trump gave a press conference on the possibility of a presidential run. He points out how he knows many of the foreign leaders that politicians deal with, on a personal as well as a business level.
2004 - Donald Trump goes on CNN and expresses his sadness at the way that our veterans from the war are treated.
2007 - He spoke further on Iraq. He expressed anger at the senseless war in Iraq and how the war on terrorism had been handled. "Saddam had NOTHING to do with any of it! and there were no, 'weapons of mass destruction'!!!!" he said, incredulously. Would Trump have gone to iraq, or would Trump have gone after those responsible for 9/11? Crazy how much influence the Bush family has gained through destabilizing the middle east! Hillary too, she's been instrumental in foreign policy that directly funded the downfall of libya and now the war on syria that has sent millions of men to europe illegally, causing chaos, destruction, and general horror across the region, splashing over onto our ancestral homeland Europa.
2011 - Steve forbes interviewed donald trump. 3M had declared obama as anti-business. Donald Trump was fairly forgiving of Obamas inexperience in the business world, but pointed out that you simply can not make international deals without a hard edge and sharp eye to the methods of currency manipulation and leveraged competition against the USA's high GDP.
2012 - Donald Trump endorses Romney for president. Obama won, and has since been fanning racial tensions and doing everything in his power to transform America into something that has no resemblance to the unique land of freedom and prosperity that BROUGHT us to greatness and made us the worlds only super power. Donald Trump had previously said, "I thought that Obama would at least be a great cheerleader. Someone who would bring us together, and encourage us". We know now that that was overly generous. He spoke further on the game the US has played with oil cartels, where we lower interest rates and OPEC raises gas prices, and our leaders seem more interested in personally profiting from it rather than doing what is right for the nation. Donald Trump was greatly admiring of Alan Greenspan over Bernanke. He points out that the business practices which are NORMAL to be used to make money off of america, would get you IMPRISONED in america.
We should note that what Donald knows about the economy - is what he has learned with his own money on the line. Not tax payer money. His own fortune. He has lived and breathed economic and political expertise since before he was shaving his face. And he's known there was a problem in america for just as long. But he just didn't WANT to be president. There's literally nothing in it for him. He's had all the women, all the money, all the luxuries. His children are becoming successful and prosperous. He should be RETIRING to enjoy the fruits of his labor. But he has realized that the leader he always dreamed of coming to guide america isn't showing up. And he has decided that he will do it himself, as a public servant, because he could not do less for the nation that gave him such opportunity. He is LOSING money. He is, as he states, "A member of no secret society". He knows what real power is - power over oneself. The one last thing he can accomplish in his life is to leave behind a greater nation for his children than he was born into; the only thing he has left to gain is his place amongst the stars of history. Egotistical? Hell yes he's egotistical. He has a God Damned SPINE. But had he no heart, he would not be running for president. And had he no brain he'd have never had either.
Speaking of his brain, he's an actual, certifiable genius. The score's he recieved in wharton at the time where SAT's and IQ tests were designed to be comparable to one another indicates that donald trumps IQ is at the minimum 156, the standard description of which is "genius - Exceptional intellectual ability and capable of looking beyond known facts". According to one author, psychotherapist, hi-iq society type,
"people with this kind of intellectual ability can do things with their minds that can't even be described to ordinary people.These highly intelligent minds process and organize data into solutions and insights, and the individual person is not even consciously aware of the process. The cartoon light bulb that goes on over someone’s head happens to people like Mr. Trump on a regular basis. I would not be surprised if Mr Trump’s IQ actually measures significantly higher than the minimum estimate mentioned above."
here's an interesting article relating a psychoanalysis of Donald Trump in terms of the evidences of self-actualization, as a 'whole individual', and his degree of self integration with his values and his actions. The website itself is a little messed up and it tries to load all the comments at once, so, use adblock, i'll edit this post if i can find a better site with the same article. Did you know that facebook and other Internet companies such as google, alter their search algorithms and content feed by personal metadata, in order to control your exposure to content? can you imagine the power that this has to influence elections? do you think that its more likely hillary has this working in her favor, or trump? think carefully and go over the memories of what you've seen. don't come to a conclusion for a day or a week. just think about it.
http://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2015/08/donald-trump-is-a-genius-but-thats-just-his-iq-3038790.html Returning to Donald Trumps recent political motions.
2014 - Donal trump spoke at CPAC. We're 19 trillion dollars in debt. China is ripping us off through currency manipulation. Weak leadership in America allows them to do so without resistance. Nobody respects us anymore. Obama owns 7 of the top 8 deficits in US history (the other was 1943 - WWII). He also increased our debt by more than all other US presidents combined. We have the smallest percentage of working Americans in US history. We have the highest number of Americans on welfare in US history. Obama is right on one thing...he did say he would transform America. Hillary has made no indication of any intent to alter the course that obama has plotted for the united states.
