His book "Art of the Deal" is an amazing read for anyone in business. Look at Trumps failures of the past and where they led to the success he has today?
First off... I see him as a gambler.. Sure, he's had some wins... But, he's had some massive looses.. His "success" he has today is from watching out for number one. As someone who answers to share holders, he has a responsibility to other people before himself.
My next issue with him was in the 2000's when he was
supporting the Assault Weapon Ban. Yes... That's right... I even remember watching one interview during that time in which he railed against anyone who felt they needed magazines for purposes other than killing.
I wish I could go on (and maybe I will later) but i have a ton of stuff to go do... So, I'll leave you with this. I think Donald Trump is a smart guy. I think he can talk a good game and gets people to listen to him very easily. I think he cares about himself more than this country and could never change his priorities.
In my opinion, the ONLY differences between him and President Obama are: a) skin color, b) Trump's been at the game longer.
Ultimately, We need someone different. With Trump you would find it would be more of the same (though things like taxes would probably be different). But more of the same as in the kind of person who, In my opinion, does not truly care.
