[QUOTE="Shonuff, post: 1804027, member: 55575"] I thought the same way at first, but lets zoom out and look at the overall situation. Trump has explained that before running he was first and foremost a businessman, and as such, the only thing that mattered to him was his bottom line. He openly admits to using China to make his products and he admits that he's used foreign equipment to build his buildings. In that situation, where Trump is a businessman, he says he did what he had to do for his business in order to make money and be competitive. Take a look at his 4 bankruptcies for his casinos in A.C.. At first I thought, why would I even consider voting for this guy if he's bankrupted 4 businesses? Again his answer was that he used the laws of the country to his advantage and out of hundreds of deals, the bankruptcies are small in comparison. Now compare that to the past two presidents who, under their watch, almost bankrupted a whole nation (mortgage crisis), AND built up the biggest budget deficit in history(and still growing). So why does this guy even want to run for president? He's already lost money (did not renew apprentice, Macy's clothing line, etc.) Maybe he's crazy? Maybe because at 69 years old, he is looking back at his life and he would like to create an even bigger legacy before he dies? I am cautiously optimistic that its the latter, but I am not committing a vote...YET. If Trump can treat America like his business and stop all this wasteful spending and crappy foreign deals that we put up, I think we will be better off. I do believe him when he says he will get the best people to negotiate on our behalf. I like the idea that he may be the one to erase the deficit so America can produce again. Our nation is turning into a land of service agents where we don't build anything, and all we do is buy. According to Trump, this is the exact reason why he is running. In essence, he wants to make America his business now, and as such, he would do what needs to be done to make "America Great Again". Trump doesn't need to consult with anyone when he answers a question. He is direct, and he is real. After seeing politician after politician come and go with empty or half promises, I think that a lot of voters find his approach sort of refreshing. The people want a leader, not a puppet, and so far Trump is demonstrating that. [/QUOTE]
