CHOO CHOO!!!!!!
God I love this man. In school I studied economics and was interested in learning about commercial real estate. Although I wasn't particularly interested in real estate development, I came across some of Trump's literature regarding investing in real estate. Up till then I just knew him as the guy on that tv show, but then I learned how he made his fortune and what kind of a guy he is. He reads, and studies, and makes sure that, before taking the next step in anything, he is completely aware of the situations he gets himself into. he may make a mistake here or there, but I am quite certain that nothing is done just on a whim. he's planning three steps ahead of everyone and, in times of adversity, his cleverness always finds a way.
I fucking love this man

My favourite Trump moment was from some journalist who had been assigned to go stay in the Trump hotel, wear a Trump suit, watch Trump DVDs and basically immerse himself in Trump. The journalist starts out super cynical and ironic as you might expect.
But then, halfway through, he's reading one of Trump's books, and it occurs to him that writing, his (the journalist's) main gig, is just one of Trump's many side gigs, and Trump is colossally more successful at it than the journalist is.

And I'm sure you believe that Obama and GW Bush wrote their own books, too.

Yes he earned it all himself. He got no subsidy or relief from the three times he declared bankruptcy. Not to mention the family money. He did it all himself.

You don't know what declaring corporate bankruptcy does, do you? Aw, how cute

Here is an actual phrase I used last week:
"The inspector used to work in a room the size of a broom cupboard. Walking in and trumping next to him became the company sport. He once chased me out with a Stanley knife."
[–] dontdoxxmebro ago
His actual family name is Trumpf.

Fascinating. Why did he change it to fart?

I watch everything Trump. Guy is a legend and he will be the president.
[–] 8_billion_eaters 3 points 3 points 6 points (+6|-3) ago
Trump will be the best president we've had since John Quincy Adams
[–] dontdoxxmebro 2 points -2 points 0 points (+0|-2) ago
He is a fat legend in his own mind. He has declared corporate bankruptcy three time. His hair looks like shit, and a three year old with a crayon has a better idea of foreign policy. All of our presidential options suck, but Putin is seriously going to eat this guy alive. He is a fucking joke.

Admiral Ackbar didn't know it was a trap until he was already in it. Moron.
And then he couldn't escape, because the Death Star was on one side and the Imperial Fleet was on the other, and apparently space is one-dimensional instead of three.
Furthermore, he took the entire fucking Rebel Fleet into danger, when the mission actually called for a small number of fighters (as per fucking usual) to attack the Death Star. What do the cruisers do? The cruisers "create a perimeter". How the fuck does that help? Rebel fighters are hyperspace capable, you're just bringing expensive assets into Death Star range for no fucking reason.
And don't get me started on how Admiral Ackbar approves Lando Calrissian's plan to fly into the Death Star in a fucking freighter. Hey, we're going to be maneuvering through tight passageways at high speed. Shall we use X-Wings? A-Wings? No, how about a fucking freighter that's six inches narrower than the passage it has to fit down?
What I'm saying is that if Trump had been there instead of Admiral Ackbar, the whole thing would have gone a whole lot more smoothly. And if Trump had been there instead of Darth Vader, the Empire wouldn't be falling to a bunch of fucking Ewoks, I can tell you that.

Whoever made this is doing America a great service by lending their support to me- and you're welcome.
Let's make this country great again.
