One time while still living in New Jersey, a female acquaintance said that her one big crush in life is The Donald. She was referring to Donald Trump, the mega millionaire then, the billionaire now.
Mr. Trump, who is attempting again to become President of the United States, has not changed his approach, whether in business, politics or in his showbiz stunts. He is the bully, the strong guy.
I like Trump for his business wizardry. The guy is simply brilliant when it comes to real estate development and other business ventures.
But when it comes to his other stints, like his infamous rows with showbiz personalities like Rosie O'Donnel, the Fox' anchor woman, Megan Kelly and his un-popular remarks such as those regarding Mexican illegal immigrants, I simply cannot like.
The guy should just stick to real estate. Leave the Ms. Universe franchise and the Apprentice and other showbiz connections to others.
Don't seek out the U.S. presidency. You are great being a real estate mogul. Don't cross the line.
Trump's nastiness reminds me of the Newt. Gingrich. He who was responsible for the shutdown of government services (1995 - 1996) when the Republican- dominated Congress battled with Democratic President Bill Clinton over the passage of the national budget.
According to wikipedia, "A 2010
Congressional Research Service
report summarized other details of the 1995–1996 government shutdowns,
indicating the shutdown impacted all sectors of the economy. Health and
welfare services for military veterans were curtailed; the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped disease surveillance; new clinical research patients were not accepted at the
National Institutes of Health;
and toxic waste cleanup at 609 sites was halted. Other impacts
included: the closure of 368 National Park sites resulted in the loss of
some seven million visitors; 200,000 applications for passports and
20,000 to 30,000 applications for visas by foreigners went unprocessed
each day; U.S. tourism and airline industries incurred millions of
dollars in losses; more than 20% of federal contracts, representing $3.7
billion in spending, were affected adversely
