OPINION: What We Know About President Donald Trump

I voted for President Trump. Not for any of his cabinet members of advisors or aristocrats or anyone else.

Just the President and the VP combo. That’s it.

And, NO, I do not “identify” as a MAGA.

I’m just a working man who has a brain.

Yeah, I’ve been to college and graduated.

I think for myself.

I’ve never voted for a Democrat.

I just wanted to say, here is what we know about President Trump.

1. He Is Good At Firing People

I have to admit, I don’t really watch TV and I’ve never watched The Apprentice. Even so, I would have to be living under a rock to not know what the show was all about.

President Trump decides who gets axed and who stays, and the winner, is the individual remaining after the “cuts.”

So, what I take from this, is the President is going to be just fine with firing anyone in his cabinet that is failing and can’t make the grade.

He has the skill to discern when people are reaching goals, and when they’re falling short.

Too bad President Trump couldn’t have overseen the recent mass firings. He’d have done a way better job.

Just think of what President Trump might have accomplished had he not been surrounded by people who kept him from really getting things done last term.

Last term it was definitely thinking he could make a deal with the Swamp Creatures (You can’t) and the President had too many of them around him. Then, on top of that the Democrats kept trying to keep impeaching him.

There wasn’t enough firing going on. I hope we see the men unfit for their jobs be fired.

This time around, I’m worried that the President found competent and loyal people, but too many might suffer from having a big ego and can’t seem to remember that Trump and JD are the big bosses.

I’m afraid these smart idiots might take the President’s intelligent plans and turn them upside down due to arrogance. Will Trump be playing babysitter and cleaning up his cabinet members messes? They’re just giving him headaches so far a lot of people are saying.

Are these guys just mama’s boys? Never set foot in the real world like Trump has since he was a kid. His father put him to work.

I feel the President has too much trust in them, in terms of their ideas. He’s a billionaire, too! They have nothing on him.

Some were just in the right place at the right time. Donald Trump MADE the place and time!

My hope is that he doesn’t get swamped, this time by loyal people who couldn’t get the big picture.

Or, they just wanted to somehow add their own interpretation of Trump’s ideas.

He can always fire them. That’s one of his talents.

They should remember that before acting or speaking.

2. President Trump Is About Wheeling And Dealing

Are you shocked that this made the list? President Trump turned his seed money his family gave him for helping run the family real estate business into a multi-billion dollar empire.

Without his influence, perhaps New York’s 1990s Renaissance wouldn’t have happened.

President Trump has lived a life as a businessman, at the highest level. You can’t stay at the top without knowing how to get the best price.

Negotiating with people is a big part of what his life has been.

He’s from Queens, and like all of us New Yorkers, he wants to always get a deal.

And like the rest of us he has sense. He’s lived in the real world dealing with politicians, unions, workers of all types, government agencies, and everything else involved in all the businesses that the Trump brand has been involved in.

So he is going to renegotiate everything.  I hope we get some better terms.

3. President Trump Thinks Big

This one is obvious. I think it’s just the man’s nature, looking back on interviews he’s done throughout the decades. He’s a true visionary.

Many others seem to think big, but they are really just dabbling in dumb fantasy.

President Trump is a realist. He’s practical. That contrasts sharply with many, many other smart and successful men in Washington. His ideas aren’t ridiculous.

He has a vision.

We’ll see whose vision wins out. Some say the Evangelicals are a bit much. Almost radical. Trump is the voice of reason. A sane Protestant.

I see the Republicans have a few different ideas now. It’s breaking up into different visions of the future. Left and Right already will never see eye to eye. Republicans shouldn’t split further. But with drastically different ideas, what is the solution?

President Trump isn’t going to slowly chip away, he’s going to melt the ice all at once.

Look at his past projects. Look at what he had to say. He wants America to be the best its ever been.

I almost feel bad he went into politics. He might have made NYCs be the site of the new world’s tallest skyscraper, and who knows what else.

4. President Trump Is Presidential

Donald J. Trump loves elegance and has fine taste. In the ’80s we saw him on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robyn Leach. And, he always looks Presidential and acts appropriately.

Just look at his suits. Let’s be real though, it’s also how he carries himself and conducts himself.

I am not going to say that Biden wasn’t presidential or any of our presidents haven’t been. We’re lucky that they all have been. I may hate their ideas but I can respect them.

But really, though, who else has Trump’s style?

I like that he’s reserved and has a sense of humor. People can learn a lot from watching how he acts.

5. President Trump Takes Risks On Ideas

Remember the Trump Board Game? Revitalizing NYC? The Skating Rink?

Running for President with no background in politics?

Donald Trump has done it all. He is not afraid to take risks on ideas.

And, as Sasha Barron Cohen showed in a Borat skit, Trump will listen to anyone’s ideas and is willing to partner with smart people with good ideas that can turn a profit.

Did everything always work out?

How could that happen? Most people are lucky if they can get even one idea off the ground.
