not upfront negotiations where one can become legendary, but welshing on his word when the invoice comes due...stuff 98.2% of us could not and would not be able to live with personally. Filthy business dealings. Not to be admired.
Do you also really believe Russia/Putin is not evil? Blame the media? Wow.
A businessman welshing on deals, but getting away with it?
I don't do business like that. and try not to engage in business with someone who does. But there's something called Caveat Emptor and it sounds like you're blaming Trump because other people signed on the dotted line.
It's not admiration, but an acceptance of his effectiveness.
Don't overplay my feelings towards our President. I've admitted many times on these boards that I don't like Trump the person. Never did, although I never truly gave him much thought. Never watched his TV. Never even visited Trump tower in NYC or read his book.
But I did vote for him. Because despite what MSM tells you, a strong leader doesn't have to be likable.
We've all worked for effective jerks and great guys who simply weren't cut out for the job.
In a perfect world we would have an effective nice guy.
I didn't see that choice on the ballot.
In regards to Russia, I'm pointing out the obvious flaw that Obama ignored.
The media and Obama and the 47% laughed at Romney.
Then a simple 48 months later we are to believe they masterminded the election.
You want it both ways.
Russia was laughable (literally) in 2012, but then a great evil in 2016.
It doesn't work that way. Not without extreme bias and (media) manipulation.
On a side note, it seems obvious that if Romney won we wouldn't have a President Trump.
