When TG posted that she added Trump to the POTUS pool I was less than friendly in my commentary regarding my perception of his agenda. Trump already has more money than he or his family can spend in several lifetimes. We all know the only thing bigger than his bank account is his ego. What else is left? If he would be willing to agree to some sort of presidential "prenuptial" agreement. Something declaring that if elected, he will not ever again enter into any for profit agreement, investment, or trade, during, and for 5 years after, holding said position. I found his acceptance speech invigorating and inspiring. My hope has been on Walker, but maybe what we need only Trump has to offer, an ability to speak the truth, unapologetic, politically incorrect, crass, and straight to the point. Some quotes from the speech: “We don’t have victories anymore. We used to have victories. But we don’t have ‘em. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time.” “Their leaders are much smarter than our leaders. It’s like taking the New England Patriots and Tom Brady and have them play your high school football team. That’s the difference between our leaders and China’s leaders.” “Last quarter, it was just announced, our Gross Domestic Product. A sign of strength right? Not for us. It was below zero! Who ever heard of this? It’s never below zero. Our labor participation rate was the worst since 1978. Think of it. GDP below zero. Horrible labor participation rate, and our real unemployment is anywhere between 18 and 21 percent.” “China has our jobs, Mexico has our jobs. They all have our jobs.” “Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger by the day and we as a country are getting weaker.” “ObamaCare really kicks in in 2016. Obama’s going to be out playing golf. He might even be on one of my courses. I would invite him. I have the best courses in the world - so I’d say ‘y’know what? If he wants to, I have one right next to the White House. Right on the Potomac. If he’d like to play, that’s fine. In fact I’d like him to leave(office of POTUS) early and play.” <--- My personal favorite. If I knew he had no possibility for monetary gain, and his only reason for hoilding the position was to initiate an American recovery, I would seriously consider supporting him.
