He is a self-made man who owes nobody no favor and needs no more power or celebrity. He will be taking a giant pay cut to be president, and would 'go away' after his term is over. He doesn't know the 'system' of DC, but advisors can easily show the way to him. Good and Bad there. However he has a way to be too "NY" attitude to me to really like him. I hate her enough to dislike him less, just like most voters, either affiliation, this go-round. It won't be boring for 4 years with him as Pres for sure, with the media hating on him so much...could be fun! And we really do need a 'wall' and someone to make America a priority over other people for a change. We got problems that need attention right now. |
Trump would be no different IMO.
He is a walking, talking corporation, this idea that he would be some kind of a anti-corporatist is laughable. He would have dozens of Wall Street ties pulling him right and left.
I also think he would bail on things like the Wall and basically just continue Obama's already established policies on illegal immigration. In fact he's already said basically that, lol. He talks a big game (which is written right into his book "The Art of the Deal" ... fake it, exagerrate yourself, etc.) about Mexicans for example, yet he didn't even whisper the word "wall" when meeting with the Mexican president. Even he knows deep down a lot of what he says is bullshit.
He played all those stupid xenophobes into thinking he really gives a shit.
Trump is a unique political force because in the end I actually don't think he has any principals really whatsoever, outside of a vague "American huff and puff your chest-ism". Trump's ideolgy is Trump-ism, it's do whatever, say whatever, bullshit whatever, but make sure you get yourself into power, some how, some way.
The White House I think really for him deep down is the ultimate vanity prize, he's made a living "collecting" building (or at least being able to put his brand name on buildings), having the White House in his collection would be the ultimate prize for his ego.
Principal wise, I think he's actually more liberal than he lets on. Dude is flat out lying when he says for example that he's pro-life ... he was pro-choice in his 50s .... he "changed" his mind in his late 60s ... yeah c'mon.
