He's already President of corporations, employs thousands and who knows better than the Donald just what it's like to go beyond broke and still parlay that into success?
I don't know about you, but I am tired of the tassle shoed, glib, silver tongued harvard/princeton/Rhodes Scholar type graduates telling us how to live. They never held an honest job in their life besides working as chronic politicians, community organizers, or in some government policy making job somewhere. With all of their purported knowledge, they have steered our nations ship onto the shoals of bankruptcy.
I want someone in there who has had to meet a payroll and knows what it is like to deal in the real world and has had to labor under the same laws that the politicians in Washington subject us to. Give us someone who has had to work in the sausage factory of the private sector and knows the sometimes ugly, sometimes trying process it takes to get that slickly wrapped (USDA inspected I might add) package of sausages to the market...and make a profit.
Donald Trump has noted in a recent interview with Newsmax:" My friends from China said to me just recently — they didn’t know that I might be thinking about running for president — we cannot believe how stupid your politicians are to allow us to get away with what we’re getting away with".

Donald Trump has the same mentality as the bankers and financial houses that brought on the crash in 2008. He's one of them, not one of us. He's playing the same game as Palin, putting his name out there just for the personal payoff to his TV shows hotels and business.

Trump can't get elected to high office because he treats women badly. The first thing any political opponent will do would be to drive up Trump's negatives. And the way he treated Ivana was shameful.
One of Trump's other drawbacks is that he's politically tin-eared. He doesn't know when to get into a controversy and when to get out. His unwelcome entry into the Central Park jogger case backfired when the suspects Trump wanted executed turned out to be innocent. He also fumbled the Carrie Prejean case, first praising her as a loyal Christian woman and then observing that pictures of her naked breasts were lovely to look at.
Trump is strictly for laughs. A vulgarian of his own choosing, he'll get the same rowdy crowd of supporters as Howard Stern. The presidential ambitions are simply an ego trip. Trump couldn't get elected to the local city council.

Donald Trump is an extremely bright captain of the private sector, who can outsmart the current crop we have in the whitehouse.. Many a privileged child never amounts to a hill of beans, Donald Trump turned his modest grusbstake into a multi billion dollar empire. You should be celbrating him he is championing Miss ireland and turning her into a super international modeling sensation. He knows talent when he sees it. Donald Trump for President!!!

If you're looking to get away from "Harvard and Princeton types," you might want to avoid Donald Trump as well. He is as much an Ivy League graduate as anyone you might name.
Talk about glib! Trump grew up in a wealthy family and attended all the finest schools. His blunt, working class manner is as much an affectation as an English accent would be.
If you're looking for somebody who's genuinely self-made, you'd have to go with somebody like Warren Buffett. Here's a guy who definitely grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. He became a billionaire on his own efforts, and remains a down-to-earth regular guy. Buffett for President! Warren, not Jimmy.

George Dillon - Then he married an American and divorced her. Now he is married to someone from Slovenia who is young enough to be his granddaughter and when he divorces her (and he will) he will marry someone who will be young enough to be his great granddaughter, as long as his money doesn't run out.

Monsoonman said "When I look at the caliber of person who is in Washington today, it is plain that many Americans voted for a daddy, rather than a leader."
Egads man, that is your projection and so plain that is what you do when you vote - who's your daddy?

Ah but the differences...Trump worked within the laws of the private sector and when he ran out of money, he took what steps were necessary to have his company survive. Our fearless leaders in DC, don't let budgets get in their way they just keep printing more money and mortgaging our futures out to the red chinese. Big difference.

Are you kidding, the man can not pay his obligations and uses bankruptcy as a way of business. Must be the tea baggers on the march again with their out of vision idealogy.

Trump can't see Russia from Trump Tower, but he was married to a Russian. And divorced her.

Good thought since who else knows as much about defaulting on your debts.
