In my eyes, I still don't see President Trump as a "politician."

He knows their game, and is a master of it. But even as Our President, I still don't look at him in the way I looked at creatures like Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, etc.

He just seems to keep that persona of a very successful businessman and a man that is able to communicate and win for the average John Q. Citizen in flyover country. And he's done more in the Presidency than any other politician could have.

He's just like President George Washington.

Just brilliant.

You're right. He's just a man trying to line his pockets

I keep seeing this as a social media talking point, yet no one in the MSM says it. WTF are they talking about?

He’s already rich.
He is literally not taking the presidential salary.

Sure flies around a lot holding political rallies for not being a politician.

Wasn't Obama regularly lambasted for continuing to campaign after being elected? But I guess that's OK now?

Good lord. Think big picture. He's setting up all kinds of alliances and other countries for himself specifically. He's going to do a lot of business after he's done being president.

He's using the presidency as leverage. Also, his family is running the business while he is President so it's not like he isn't earning money.

People need to realize a 30-40 year career as a politician was never the intention of the founders. I say it often but congressional term limits are a must if you really want to see meaningful change with our Federal government.

I believe he can’t stand politicians in general. I don’t believe he sees himself as one.

It is called a loss-leader.

Lee's already been taking tons of high-profile people to Mar-A-Lago and he's warmed up to Putin and the Saudi Prince. I would wager that you would start seeing some mutual business interests start emerging as soon as he is done being president

Best part about him


Trump is Trump. He's open and transparent and genuine all the time. It's a breath of fresh air.
