Default Trump has a sense of humor...



When Trump purchased and rebuilt Mar-A-Lago, the Grand mansion and estate In Palm beach, Florida he got into a dispute with the city, who are well known for being strict on zoning regulations. Trump put up a 50 foot flag pole even though 30 foot is the maximum allowed. The city imposed a 1,000 dollar fine per day.

While Trump and the city argued back and forth, finally when the fine had reached 120,000 dollars Trump proposed a solution: He would donate that amount to veterans organizations, would move the flag and pole to a different location in front of the mansion and would only use a 30 foot flag pole. The city agreed.

So Trump brought in the company who does Golf course construction and had them build a 20 foot high grassy hill and put a 30 foot flag pole on top of that.....

GOT SALT?: Trump

While I have some serious issues with him as a a potential POTUS, I love the way he can screw with the status quo in the Republican Party. We need more candidates with his big brass ones

I, too, have serious issues with him being POTUS. But...he's certainly a vast improvement over Hillary, Biden, Sanders, and the lackluster Republican slate. Look at it this way: Obama has lost all credibility and respect of the U.S., and he's beating the Nation down into a socialist State. Wouldn't Trump at least give us a fighting chance?

He's a business man. We would do a hell of a lot better than the current socialist who just wants to run us further into debt.

USA Inc. needs a CEO, not a politician to run it. Let the VP and Secy State handle the politics and the POTUS handle the business of running USA Inc.

Just my .02.

Agreed. Plus, I think people underestimate his ability because of his bluster. He didn't become a billionaire (so what if it's $2B as critics say or $10B as Trump says) by being an unsavvy businessman, and that proves he isn't stupid either. I think Trump would plainly say that this Country is in serious financial trouble and that severe belt-tightening in required.

That's not gonna fare well with the Welfare/immigrant population, but....

He's also saying what a lot of Americans want to say and hope that politicans would get back to, and that's dumping the politically correct b.s., and openly talking about topics that other politicans won't ge near in fear of alienating sections of voters.

Trump is primarily playing to Republicans, middle class, white, Christian voters. And the last time I looked, that was the majority of voters in the US.

Without another black Democrat like Obumma to vote for, the articles i'm reading are expecting a low black voter turnout in the next election.

Frankly, I think a lot of people are going to be surprised, if Trump is in fact, nominated.

With trump I believe he is who he is. He is not a communist like the Democrats and calls people out instead of saying what they want to hear he tells the truth a rare trait in a potential president

Tapatalk is a mobile forum browsing app, and that is the default signature it appends to posts posted from it. (I use this app too, though I have signature turned off)

SCH-I545 is the model number of the Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, specifically the CDMA version issued by Verizon and Sprint.
