If Trump had a way to make every single American an instant billionaire, cure every disease and give everybody whatever they want those who don't like him would still criticize his every word and move. I think it makes them feel righteous.

You should know; it's precisely the way you felt and spoke about Obama. And Trudeaubama.

No, if he were a normal joe, he'd be working as a second hand car dealer.

He got where he is because his father had money.

There has been no episode in history where a large group of 1 type of people moving to an area with a completely different type of people and it's been smooth.

Change is hard. Why anyone would think it would go smoothly shows lack of historical knowledge and lack of knowledge of the human animal.

Look how hard it is for the people here to accept the changes and it hasn't even happened to them personally. lol
Justin Trudeau , John F Kennedy , George Bush , Pierre Trudeau , Paul Martin and many more on both sides of the border . Did your parents not leave you a little something ?

Trump is the private school educated son of a millionaire. His father was the son of a real estate tycoon who knocked up one of the serving girls, ... a domestic who came from Lewis in Scotland to working Trump's grand-dad's mansion. So, the Trump Tower that is just opening in Vancouver .. do you think that Trump built that or had it built, even? It was a few years underway before Trump became involved. What he did ... and often does, is buy into a project with investment money in exchange for his name on the building (think: Sky Dome, now the Roger's Centre, someday to be the Tidy Bowl Centre). He built nowt, often builds nowt. He's a vain moneylender in the case of the two Trump Towers (The Toronto one is off the market, tenantless being sued in a hundred directions and falling apart).
Well saw the President Trump Tower today for the first time , an impressive looking building . And much higher then the building I used to work in at that location .

Trump is a good man...

When you cut through all of the B.S. coming from the sour Left and the biased Media, you'll find an intelligent leader with a big heart who will try to do his best for middle class America.

If it's the one in Vancouver, it is an Arthur Erickson design and the project started years before Trump bought a piece of it, in exchange for his billboard. I'm wondering if the principals involved in the project now regret that the Trump name is on it, that it will damage their business and sully the good name of their building for a generation or so. The Trump name is definitely a liability in Canada and the Toronto project is frantically trying to get out from under it.

You mean, someone handed him a script last night and said "Read this, exactly as it is written and don't stray from the script, one word"

it means that a rabbi was there to "bless" the proceedings, no knives involved touched milk or milk products and non scaled fish or other non allowed foods were prepared in the same building.

It means that they cut the end of your ¢#%* off.

Is that your list of people whom you believe would have been nothings if it weren't for family money?

I'd agree with George Bush for sure! Paul Martin was not raised a wealthy boy, he made his own money working his ranks through politics. His parents were not raised wealthy.
Pierre Trudeau did go to law school so he must be somewhat smart since his father would not have had the clout or enough money to buy his sons way through.
Trump went to a regular kind of university and has no family history of politics and it all shows. He's lucky to have had his family wealth to get where he is. It's certainly not from his personal acumen

I don't understand how a inheritance from my parents is relevant to this topic unless it's an attempt at a personal jab? again, not sure, don't know

huh, I had to look that up. cool. well not cool as in lop it off! but cool as in I didn't know circumcision was a "kosher" thing. Thanks for that!

Fascinating thread. It's about Drumpf.

well that's one way to see it. From a psychological perspective it might be about a whole spectrum of other things.

and if you wanted to dive deeper well there's no limit to the options.

So glad that you got the point.

well I still have my point...

thanks to rational thought and freedom from religion / traditions I was not forced into FGM or female circumsion.

Probably not what you meant though...

Trump's main revenu is building Trump towers, hotels. and he dose so at a very efficient cost. He understands how to negotiate by placing himself in a position of power.

A typical construction type guy. You guys are clueless.
