Trump – Things You Might Not Know About Him
Trump, hopefully, is waking some of the RINOs up. The criticisms of Trump are amazingly missing something. They are lacking in negative stories from those who work for him or have had business dealings with him. After all the employees he’s had and all the business deals he’s made, there is a void of criticism. In fact, long term employees call him a strong and merciful leader and say he is far more righteous and of high integrity than people may think. And while it may surprise many, he’s actually humble when it comes to his generosity and kindness. A good example is a story that tells of his limo breaking down on a deserted highway outside of New York City. A middle-aged couple stopped to help him and as a thank you he paid off their mortgage, but he didn’t brag about that. Generous and good people rarely talk of charity they bestow on others. But as much as all this is interesting, the real thing that people want to know is what Donald Trump’s plan is for America. It’s funny how so many people say they don’t know what it is, or they act like Trump is hiding it. The information is readily available if people would just do a little homework. But, since most Americans won’t.
1) Trump believes that America should not intervene militarily in other country’s problems without being compensated for doing so. If America is going to risk the lives of our soldiers and incur the expense of going to war, then the nations we help must be willing to pay for our help. Using the Iraq War as an example, he cites the huge monetary expense to American taxpayers (over $1.5 trillion, and possibly much more depending on what sources are used to determine the cost) in addition to the cost in human life. He suggests that Iraq should have been required to give us enough of their oil to pay for the expenses we incurred. He includes in those expenses the medical costs for our military and $5 million for each family that lost a loved one in the war and $2 million for each family of soldiers who received severe injuries.
2) Trump wants America to have a strong military again. He believes the single most important function of the federal government is national defense. He has said he wants to find the General Patton or General MacArthur that could lead our military buildup back to the strength it needs to be. While he hasn’t said it directly that I know of, Trump’s attitude about America and about winning tells me he’d most likely be quick to eliminate rules of engagement that handicap our military in battle. Clearly Trump is a “win at all costs” kind of guy, and I’m sure that would apply to our national defense and security, too
3) Trump wants a strong foreign policy and believes that it must include 7 core principles American interests come first. Always. No apologies. Maximum firepower and military preparedness. Only go to war to win. Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.Keep the technological sword razor sharp. See the unseen Prepare for threats before they materialize. Respect and support our present and past warriors.
4) Trump believes that terrorists who are captured should be treated as military combatants, not as criminals like the Obama administration treats them.
5) Trump makes the point that China’s manipulation of their currency has given them unfair advantage in our trade dealings with them. He says we must tax their imports to offset their currency manipulation, which will cause American companies to be competitive again and drive manufacturing back to America and create jobs here. Although he sees China as the biggest offender, he believes that America should protect itself from all foreign efforts to take our jobs and manufacturing. For example, Ford is building a plant in Mexico and Trump suggests that every part or vehicle Ford makes in Mexico be taxed 35% if they want to bring it into the U. S., which would cause companies like Ford to no longer be competitive using their Mexican operations and move manufacturing back to the U.S., once again creating jobs here.
6) Trump wants passage of NOPEC legislation (No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act ? NOPEC ? S.394), which would allow the government to sue OPEC for violating antitrust laws. According to Trump, that would break up the cartel. He also wants to unleash our energy companies to drill domestically (sound like Sarah Palin’s drill baby, drill?) thereby increasing domestic production creating jobs and driving domestic costs of oil and gas down while reducing dependence on foreign oil.
7) Trump believes a secure border is critical for both security and prosperity in America. He wants to build a wall to stop illegals from entering and put controls on immigration. (And he says he’ll get Mexico to pay for the wall, which many have scoffed at, but given his business successes I wouldn’t put it past him.) He also wants to enforce our immigration laws and provide no path to citizenship for illegals.
8) Trump wants a radical change to the tax system to not only make it better for average Americans, but also to encourage businesses to stay here and foreign businesses to move here. The resulting influx of money to our nation would do wonders for our economy. He wants to make America the place to do business. He also wants to lower the death tax and the taxes on capital gains and dividends. This would put more than $1.6 trillion back into the economy and help rebuild the 1.5 million jobs we’ve lost to the current tax system. He also wants to charge companies who outsource jobs overseas a 20% tax, but for those willing to move jobs back to America they would not be taxed. And for citizens he has a tax plan that would allow Americans to keep more of what they earn and spark economic growth. He wants to change the personal income tax to: Up to $30,000 taxed at 1%. From $30,000 to $100,000 taxed at 5%. From $100,000 to $1,000,000 taxed at 10%. $1,000,000 and above taxed at 15%.
9) Trump wants Obamacare repealed. He says it’s a “job-killing, health care-destroying monstrosity” that “can’t be reformed, salvaged, or fixed.” He believes in allowing real competition in the health insurance marketplace to allow competition to drive prices down. He also believes in tort reform to get rid of defensive medicine and lower costs.
10) Trump wants spending reforms in Washington, acknowledging that America spends far more than it receives in revenue. He has said he believes that if we don’t stop increasing the national debt once it hits $24 trillion it will be impossible to save this country.
11) Even though he says we need to cut spending, he does not want to harm those on Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. He believes that the citizens have faithfully paid in to the system to have these services available and that the American government has an obligation to fulfill its end of the bargain and provide those benefits. Therefore, he wants to build the economy up so that we have the revenue to pay those costs without cutting the benefits to the recipients. He disagrees with Democrats who think raising taxes is the answer and says that when you do that you stifle the economy. On the other hand, when you lower taxes and create an environment to help businesses they will grow, hire more workers, and those new workers will be paying taxes that become more tax revenue for the government.
12) Trump also wants reform of the welfare state saying that America needs “a safety net, not a hammock.” He believes in a welfare to work program that would help reduce the welfare roles and encourage people to get back to work. And he wants a crackdown on entitlement fraud.
13) Trump believes climate change is a hoax.
14) Trump opposes Common Core.
15) Trump is pro-life, although he allows for an exception due to rape, incest, or the life of the mother.
16) Trump is pro 2nd Amendment rights.
17) Trump’s view on same-sex marriage is that marriage is between a man and a woman, but he also believes that this is a states rights issue, not a federal issue.
18) Trump supports the death penalty. Trump believes that there is a lack of common sense, innovative thinking in Washington (Hmmm… looks like he believes in horse sense!). He says it’s about seeing the unseen and that’s the kind of thinking we need to turn this country around. He tells a personal story to illustrate the point: “When I opened Trump National Golf Club at Rancho Palos Verdes in Los Angeles, I was immediately told that I would need to build a new and costly ballroom. The current ballroom was gorgeous, but it only sat 200 people and we were losing business because people needed a larger space for their events. Building a new ballroom would take years to get approval and permits (since it’s on the Pacific Ocean), and cost about $5 million. I took one look at the ballroom and saw immediately what needed to be done. The problem wasn’t the size of the room, it was the size of the chairs. They were huge, heavy, and unwieldy. We didn’t need a bigger ballroom, we needed smaller chairs! So I had them replaced with high-end, smaller chairs. I then had our people sell the old chairs and got more money for them than the cost of the new chairs. In the end, the ballroom went from seating 200 people to seating 320 people. Our visitors got the space they desired, and I spared everyone the hassle of years of construction and $5 million of expense. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a little common sense. On top of his saving years of construction and $5 million in expenses, he also was able to keep the ballroom open for business during the time it would have been under remodeling, which allowed him to continue to make money on the space instead of losing that revenue during construction time.
19) Donald Trump’s entire life has been made up of success and winning. He’s been accused of bankruptcies, but that’s not true. He’s never filed personal bankruptcy. He’s bought companies and legally used bankruptcy laws to restructure their debt, just as businesses do all the time. But he’s never been bankrupt personally.
20). He’s a fighter that clearly loves America and would fight for our nation. Earlier I quoted Trump saying, “I love America. And when you love something, you protect it passionately ? fiercely, even.” We never hear that from Democrats or even from most Republicans. Donald Trump is saying things that desperately need to be said but no other candidate has shown the fortitude to stand up and say them. Looking over this list of what he wants for America I see a very necessary set of goals that are long past due.
Before we criticize someone because the media does, maybe we should seriously consider what he has to offer, as it is important to know what each of our candidates to replace a President who has ruined us globally, and who has put us on a path to disaster!
This is not an appeal to vote for Trump, only to give some depth of comparison, before this week’s debate.

Trump is 100% a democrat operative. His head advisor, Cohen was a lifelong Democrat and Obama/Hillary supporter.
Republicans are being setup.
Trump will bow out late in the race, and swing the vote straight into Democrat hands because when he bows out, who ever is left on the republican side won’t be liked or voted for. Trump is owned by George Soros since early 2000′s when Soros forgave a huge loan made to Trump for one of his building projects in Chicago.. You guys will see all this unfold.. Either Trump will bow out with an illness, or it will be from threats on his life.. Or they just might JFK him, because in the grand scheme of things, Trump is just another minion for certain power brokers who want open borders and one world government..
Just like Obama lied his ass off to win, so is Trump.. You guys will see.. And no I am not a democrat supporter.. I would rather see an independent type win.. And it may just happen where Trump doesn’t get the Republican nomination and ends up running independently, which would swing the entire thing right into Democrat hands again because he would steal Republican votes. The same thing happened in the 90s with Ross perot and GWB.. Perot stole enough votes to swing the entire thing right into bushes lap.. All by design, but perot had no choice, they threatened his entire family and he wasn’t a plant..
You are just too dumb for words, DJ is the real deal.
I lived in the north Texas area for thirty years. I did some remodeling work for a man named John, who worked as a personal cook for Ross Perot.
I asked him if he was working for Perot when he ran for president. He said yes. I asked if the rumor of Ross’s family’s lives being threatened prior to dropping out of the race were true. He said yes, they threatened to kill his daughter.
I swear to God on this, I could take you to John’s house right now. Where I lived, I was probably less than 15 miles from Perot’s house, as the crow flies. I knew several men that knew Ross personally.
Perot is well known to pilot offshore racing boats in lake Texoma. When the Denison dam’s spillway overflowed many years ago (it did it recently also), it wiped out a road Perot used quite often….instead of waiting for the state to fix it, Perot had it fixed in a couple of days…….
so people the story of Ross dropping out because his family was treated by the lowers that be were true. John told me that when Perot set up his own mercenaries to counter tptb’s threat, he then joined back in the race for president.

(I’m not scared)
The other thing Trump might do is get caught saying something stupid and destroying himself that way. It might not be death threats, it might not be a mysterisou illness, the more I think about it, the more I see a scandal involving Trump being caught/recorded saying something absolutely stupid. And the whole thing will be MSM news and it will kill his chances.
Whatever they devise or plot to do, rest assured, Donald Trump will not be president of the U.S.
Peggy Noonan is brilliant. Fox would have been better hiring her to fill in for Megan.
It’s almost like Trump is too good to be true.
Lol, trump owes millions to wallstreet bankers,,, so….?
This is realy a very odd situation. I like Tramp sorry I mean Trump. To be honest he is the 1st guy that I would vote for in many many years. So where do you draw the line.
The one thing I will add that I think does not get enough attention, is that Donald Trump is not the illness as so many portray him to be. Trump is a symptom. The rise of Trump and his ability to keep his support so high for so long whilst competing with 15 other candidates is symptomatic of the GOP establishment RINOS crapping on their base for so long. Whether Trump is serious or not, whether he is conservative in his heart or if he is an opportunist, it took him all of about 14 seconds to figure out what it was and to declare what all conservatives really feel and are too afraid to say.
Put it to you this way, how incredibly sad is the prospect, and how inept has the GOP become if they’ve let themselves be “Trumped” by a guy who was a progressive democrat six months ago?
Let that sink in.
Trump is good friends with Hillary Clinton. See
http://www.today.com/news/hillary-clinton-attended-donald-trumps-wedding-gop-debate-burning-questions-t37391
So he donated to the Clinton Foundation and her senate campaign.
This article indicates that he is in favor of the death penalty. So is Hillary Clinton. That´s
why I changed my mind about her years ago. Twenty five per cent of death penalty convictions
are innocent. Trump would allow the guilty to get away with murder if he was in the White House.
I enjoyed reading this article about Trump that Henry Makow Ph.D. wrote. See
http://henrymakow.com/2015/07/trump-repeating-ross-perots.html
Lastly, Trump wants to tax people who earn less than $30,000 at a rate of 1%. What that means
is if you earn $1.00 you will have to pay 1% of it. People who earn much more have legal ways
to not have to pay tax at all. And income tax does not go to the US government. It goes to the IMF
which the richest man on earth owns, Rothschild.
Trump is delusional if he thinks that the US can get the debt under control. Between the derivatives
and the debt in which the debt clock has been stopped at $18 trillion, there is no way the debt will
ever be able to be paid off, something that the elite knew when they established the Federal Reserve
Bank.
