Since Obama has come up here, here is a little story about one of my ex customers. Young man, hard core democrat, was picking up non profitable businesses, for nothing more than taking over the leases. I told him I think you are making a big mistake ,, you need to step back take a better look at what you are doing. He didn't. He said that he knew now that Obama was just elected , the economy was going to come roaring back,, (His words) He was going to make a fortune!! I fired him for not paying my bill.. Life is wonderful when you can fire customers , and get away with it.
Hmmm, Guess who is still in business and who is not?
I have enough money, put away I don't need to sell you something to pad my pocket,
If I give you business advise or other advise ,it is for your benefit not mine. If you fail to listen to my advise, I will let you suffer the consciences! I have been in this business for 47 years now. I have some experience.
You said you make up stories all the time. I don't believe a word you say. Then don't believe it.

I was commenting on his belief in the Messiah Obama was going to make him rich in a matter of weeks. I didn't believe the Messiah, I have money in the bank,,

I truly don’t mind, and they’re not being rude. They’re just reflecting the polarisation which seems to be very profound at the moment, as am I. I’m well aware of Trump’s numerous faults but I feel that his strengths outweigh his weaknesses and these strengths are unique for a mainstream politician. So just as his critics are strongly dismayed by him, so too are his supporters strongly defending him as we feel that one like him may not arrive again, particularly at a time where we feel that he is needed. Plus I’ve spent several years at another politics forum, busier than this one (although this is brisk enough) which is much more aggressive. This is nothing. I don’t wish to divulge where that is, but it’s not here. I never knew of this place. I’m still at the other place, it just got a little stale. Same old discourse. It’s not too different to here, only there is a stronger conservative representation. Name 5 strengths besides: Liar Adulterer Narcissist Mean Sexist Racist Thief Egotistical Traitor to our friends I could go on..... One u could have added...rapest...a 13 year old...numerouse times...his ex wife too...

ednkris get off the topic of masturbation please on this thread. Answer the question about what trump's strengths are, unless you consider his naked wife a strength so you can indulge. I didn't first bring it up... Trump's strengths Loyal to his country Intelligent Unpredictable Brazen Caren for all people He's a moron. Only people dumber than he is could possibly think he's intelligent.

Only people dumber than he is could possibly think he's intelligent. Actually I think he is smart... Also not sure on how prejudice he really is...Am thinking he realized there were / are... a lot of..{millions}of unhappy and race hating folks in the country who blame minorities, immigrants for their place in society and no one of any merit or reputation represented them so he cultivated them... He also played up of all our troubles were / are caused by those professional politicians so publicly blamed them...the so called swamp. Found out these folks {base}are extremely loyal...won't desert..able to over look and excuse any faults....They also are not interested in hearing information /news that discusses that which they don't believe in...These folks are not interested in the written word...kind of like the Donald...so very happy watching for information a organization like "Fox" exclusively..

Not to support Dick because I disagree with everything he's saying, but you have a lot of opinions and you're Canadian. So how is him having strong opinions any different?

what's wrong with the way she talks? She's an Ivy League educated attorney and former hospital administrator. I think she is very well spoken. She also dresses professionally. I don't get what you mean by demeanor. She did what she was supposed to do. What about her demeanor is unprofessional? I can't get over not putting your hand over your heart for the pledge very nasty....but that is my opinion like asshole we all have one How does not putting your hand over your heart and sleeveless outfits even compare to full on nudity and porn? Are you for real? I'm calling troll.

Are you for real? I'm calling troll. That's what I thought. I don't say the pledge, but I will put my hand over my heart just as a sign of respect. I think the pledge is very chairman Mao-ish and it makes me uncomfortable. I love my country, but I'm not pledging my allegiance to a piece of cloth. And I loved how Mrs. Obama dressed. She's a younger, urban person of color, she should dress a little funky. If she dressed in things straight from Ann Taylor, everyone would say how dowdy she was.

Trump's strengths Loyal to his country Intelligent Unpredictable Brazen Caren for all people He'd sell this country out in a hot second if there was money or even just a little public praise in it for him. He's a friggin idiot who can't spell on a 3rd grade level yet and speaks incoherently about things he knows nothing about. He definitely is unpredictable, but not in a good way. Same goes for brazen. The only person that man cares about is for himself. He's shown that to us time and time again.

As for Michelle Obama exposing her bare arms, how about a picture of Melania trump wearing a sleeveless dress paying her respects to Holocaust victims in Israel in 2017. Melania Trump: First Lady pays respects to Holocaust victims in IsraelMELANIA TRUMP revealed her arms for the first time during her husband Donald Trump’s inaugural foreign tour at a Holocaust memorial in Israel.

He unfortunately has very limited intelligence and no curiosity about learning something new. I also think he is now suffering from dementia and it's falling apart. I think he's sly and cunning, but certainly not intelligent. He doesn't read, knows nothing about foreign policy, knows nothing about history or geography, knows nothing about the Constitution, has a non-existent attention span and exhibits zero intellectual curiosity. That's why world leaders had to "dumb it down" for Trump at the NATO meeting. NATO ASKS WORLD LEADERS TO PLAY DUMB SO TRUMP WILL UNDERSTAND THEM www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/05/nato-donald-trump

Compare the way they dress, talk, demeanor Michelle can't even compare what's wrong with the way she talks? She's an Ivy League educated attorney and former hospital administrator. I think she is very well spoken. She also dresses professionally. I don't get what you mean by demeanor. She did what she was supposed to do. What about her demeanor is unprofessional? I think you found the problem. It's the same crap they gave Hillary when she was First Lady. Michelle gets it twice as hard though because she's an educated African American woman.

Dress: Yes, Michelle was stylish and classy. No inappropriate jackets or 9/11 symbols.
Talk: Yes, an articulate and well educated American woman versus an accented soft porn call girl trophy wife.
Demeanor: Michelle was a fabulous First Lady always comporting herself perfectly. Melania...not so much.
Ed you are right...no comparison.

He's no longer the most powerful man in the world IMO. Europe has basically moved on without him. But really what are his unique strengths that are needed now? Lying? Crazy marketing? Destroying the press? Destroying America's government? Oh, has he destroyed the press and the government? It’s difficult to address hyperbole. Are you after a serious conversation? Reading comprehesion can be your friend. Destroying as in , in process versus 'destroyed' which means mission accomplished. He is weakening the press, increasing belief in false stories and propaganda for the gullible and those pre-disposed to believe RW lies. He is weakening the government by creating shadow ways of dealing with foreign govts using personal lawyers. This is corruption.

Only people dumber than he is could possibly think he's intelligent. Three wrong, and two true. Personally I think brazen isn't a good quality if its all you have in your arsenal. He's not that unpredictable, just prone to making numerous unforced errors. He is not loyal to the US, and he cares mostly about himself and occasionally his family. He says he cares, but actions show the reality. He may have been intelligent once, but something definitely has removed quite a bit. He's good at marketing, but it is not effective on most.
