Not as proud as I'd have been had Perot made it to the top...

As you wish, enjoy your fellow Cuntnadian Conrad Black's sober analysis:

https://amgreatness.com/2018/05/15/why-trump-is-a-president-like-no-other/

In Trump’s rise and fall and rise as a billionaire, Black never whitewashes his ruthlessness, his fast and loose relationship with the truth (e.g., “He is not so much a cynic as a methodological agnostic, not a liar as much as a disbeliever in absolute secular truths”), and his occasionally tawdry P. T. Barnum hawking.

As he guides the reader through Trump’s various land deals, casino crashes, name merchandising, risky hotel gambits, and golf course developments, Black offers unusual insight into how Trump, or for that matter anyone else, could survive such a rollercoaster of catastrophe and great fortune. While most of Trump’s rivals share his same carnivorous ethos, very few succeeded as did Trump.

What made Trump different from his competitors? Likely, his cunning, his almost Thucydidean reading of human nature, and his sixth sense about timing and salesmanship. In Plutarchian fashion, Black focuses on Trump’s physicality, especially his boundless energy and his impatience with nuance and self-doubt (“desperate cunning, unflagging determination, unshakeable self-confidence, ruthless Darwinian instincts of survival, and a sublime assurance that celebrity will heal all wounds”). Of course, the media and politicians were not ready for the naked applicability of these traits to the White House. But, as Black notes, the American people after decades of misgovernance wereâ€"as if to let loose Trump on their country as both avenger and deliverer.

ROFL!!! Conrad Black???? Say Mr Dracula what do you think of Mr Hyde? "Well he's a bit of a lad, but underneath he's a good chap on the whole"..


You've won the internet for irony!

No mention of scam universities? Scamming workers out of their wages? Scamming contractors out of money? Scamming pretty much anyone he comes across in business? Scamming lawyers by not paying them?  Possibly he ran out of room for that?

What makes you think that I would ever think he "gives two shits" about me?

All we need is someone who wants a viable economy and nation for his personal legacy to thrive in (unlike the Trojan Horse) going forward.

If he manages that (and so far he has) my place in his pecking order is irrelevant.

Got it yet?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Black

On 30 June 2011, Black published an article for the National Review Online that provided his scathing view of the legal case, detailing it as a miscarriage of justice and an "unaccountable and often lawless prosecution".[81] Seth Lipsky, in an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal that ran on 28 June 2011, called the verdict against Black "head-scratching", noting that Black was found not guilty of the most serious charges brought against him. Lipsky asked why Black was denied a retrial by jury as to whether he had committed pecuniary fraud after the Supreme Court unanimously found that Judge St. Eve's instructions to the jury were "incorrect", which led to two of the three fraud counts ultimately being vacated. In the end, one fraud conviction and a count of obstruction were allowed to stand

But he doesn't unless he and his family are directly advantaged, irrespective of whether or not it makes anyone not a millionaire richer. He's a crook essentially. He has been all his adult life. You think he's in the WH and not cashing in on it?  ;D

My fellow Americans, England is a cucked nation and we can see the negative consequences of this for them. It's just too bad they can't. Let's not let this happen to us!

Laura Ingraham blasted former Ronald Reagan confidant George Will for a blistering attack on Vice President Mike Pence that the columnist made in The Washington Post.

Ingraham said the otherwise conservative writer took a "high dive off the deep-end" when he said Pence trumps Trump as the "worst person in government."

Will, 77, said Pence, 58, has a "talent for toadyism and an appetite for obsequiousness" in what he said was Pence's political servility to Trump.
Ingraham said Will also criticized Pence for his faith, saying the vice president is a "pin-up" for the Evangelical community and once praised former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio during an event in Tempe, Ariz.

Will got quite far over his skis on the wings of a Thesaurus and then one day his grandiloquence was downsloped by the facts.

Now he mostly seethes and lurks Senators' ball games obsessing over the box score.

Petty little Wally Cox type with delusions of relevance.

Foreign nationals know that once a foreigner crosses the U.S. border caught or uncaught the chances of removal are very unlikely. The avenues for residency for foreign nationals entering the country are many â€" asylum claims, refugee claims, Temporary Protective Status (TPS) claims, and just plain economic â€" illegal aliens know apprehension means nothing but release with a distant court date. The illegal aliens ignore it, with impunity.

TPS claims are now being terminated by the Trump Administration â€" temporary means temporary, not permanent.

ZTE phones are not recommended for use by the US military or anyone in a security critical occupation because they're loaded with spyware...This week Trump has expressed concern ZTE are losing jobs in China because of trade tariffs imposed by the Trump admin...

Well it also seems the Trump organisation might have trousered $500 million from China in relation to some business deal involving Indonesia.. What's that? It's illegal?

The Chinese government is providing up to $500 million in government loans to support the construction of the billion-dollar MNC Lido City resort, which includes a Trump-branded hotel and golf course, according to a report from the South China Morning Post. Mr Trump’s involvement was solidified in 2015, the report states.

Former Bush administration ethics lawyer Richard Painter has also said that the project could violate the emoluments clause, and that he “would have advised” Mr Trump to sell all his holdings in the project upon becoming president.

The White House, when asked about the reports, has referred to the Trump Organisation.   ::)

Pretty obviously before he had any notion of running.
