He may or may not become the Republican nominee forpresident. He may or may not win the presidency even if he becomes the nominee. Yet it is clear that he isa phenomenon and that any history of the 2016 presidential race will have to spend a good bit of timeanalyzing Trump and his impact.»>> From the time he announced on June 16, Trump has dominated social and mainstream media. Hedominates the conversation despite the lack of paid advertising. Trump says outrageous things and hissupporters shrug it off. At every turn, his poll numbers continue to rise.»>> As a step toward understanding this amazing performance, I spent part of the Christmas break readinghis first bestseller, 'The Art of the Deal'. Written in 1987, this book is a classic among American businessbooks and has influenced a generation of entrepreneurs. Trump wrote 'The Art of the Deal' when he was41 years old and having a successful run. The book's popularity contributed to Time Magazine's decisionto feature Donald Trump on its cover in January 1989.»>> The portrait that emerges from this easy-to-read and remarkably interesting book is of an aggressive,ambitious person who is constantly pushing, constantly learning, and always seeking the nextchallenge. Reporters and analysts who are trying to understand Trump would be well served by slowingdown and reading this nearly three-decade-old bestseller.»HOUSE OVERSIGHT 025929>> They would discover that Donald Trump has developed a remarkable set of rules and principles thatallow him to make decisions with incredible speed. Trump knows a lot, but what is amazing is how rapidlyhe figures out what he doesn't know.»>> My favorite story is of the Wollman Skating Rink in New York's Central Park.>> The Wollman Rink was a heavily used public skating rink which had fallen into disrepair in 1980. NewYork City tried for six years to fix it, spent $13 million, and the rink still was not ready to open. In June of1986 Trump, who could see the rink from his apartment, finally got tired of the embarrassment and offeredto fix the rink at his own expense. At first the city turned him down because its bureaucracy did not want tobe embarrassed by someone fixing something they couldn't fix. Trump kept pushing and finally out ofembarrassment the city gave in.»>> The key part of the story is Trump's reaction to being put in charge. He promptly recognized that hedidn't know anything about fixing a skating rink. He asked himself who built a lot of skating rinks."Canadians!" he concluded. He found the best Canadian ice skating rink construction company. When theCanadians flew in to assess the situation, they were amazed at how bad the city had been at solving theproblem. They assured Trump that this was an easy job. Trump fixed the six year embarrassment twomonths ahead of schedule and nearly $800,000 under-budget. (The city did end up paying for the work, andTrump donated the profits to charity.)»>> After reading this chapter you begin to think that maybe Donald Trump really could build a wall alongour southern border for a lot less than our current government estimates.»>> 'The Art of the Deal' is filled with stories like this — stories of common sense stories of calculated risktaking, and stories of innovation and marketing.>> Anyone who would like to better understand Donald Trump would be helped by reading this remarkablebook.»>> Another is his pledges and I have no way of knowing if he will make good on all of them but I do agreewith all of them. Trump is the only candidate that is serious about building The Wall" ! Two otherimportant pledges Trump has made that no other candidate of either party has matched! First deportation ofmillions of illegals that are demanding and costing American taxpayers billions of dollars andsecond Closing 34 Muslim traing Camps throughout our country! I WOULD LIKE TRUMP OR ANYOTHER CANDIDATES PLEDGE TO REINSTATE ANY AND ALL MILITARY OFFICERSDISCHARGED BECAUSE THEY DISAGREED WITH OBAMA OR HIS POLICIES!!»>> Here is another that kind of wraps up my feelings about Trump>> Raccoon's in your basement! An interesting analogy>> You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested withraccoon's. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoon's have overtaken your basement.

He's the guy. He's the best. Period. That's why Trump. Yes he's a bitof an ass, yes he's an egomaniac, but you don't care.>> The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two-faced & gutless, illegal's areeverywhere. You want it all fixed! You don't care that Trump is crude, you don't care that he insultspeople, you don't care that he had been friendly with Hillary, you don't care that he has changed positions,you don't care that he's been married 3 times, you don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and RosieO'Donnell, you don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslin terrorist,...this country is weak,HOUSE OVERSIGHT 025930bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal's, we are becoming a nation ofvictims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hamad is a special interest group with special rights>> to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in; "AND WE JUSTWANT IT FIXED" and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.»>> You're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, and sick of illegal's. You justwant this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but doesn't have any lobbyist money influencing him, hedoesn't have political correctness restraining him, all you know is that he has been very successful, a goodnegotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's also not a politician, so he's not a cowardly politician. Andhe says he'll fix it. You don't care if the guy has bad hair. You just want those raccoon's gone. Out of yourhouse!»>> This one is more about why we don't want Hillary.>> I think this sums it up well !>> Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a bar.
