I have never been a rider on the trump train...and NEVER will be!

But the OP is chronic bullshit...

I think it's pretty clear that trump only cares about trump. His hardcore supporters don't care, though. I bet they wouldn't care if everything on the letter was absolutely true.

I agree, and I have said back when Bush was running that Trump WILL look out for himself. How can anyone even begin to look out for someone else if they first aren't looking out for themselves?

Do you really think that Bernie Sanders isn't looking out for himself? Or Hillary Clinton looking out for herself? Do you REALLY think Obama isn't looking out for himself? So that argument is made moot by the simple fact that everyone is looking out for themselves City.

What people should really be looking at is who cares most about their legacy? Hillary Clinton? Sheeeaaat.... She will never get out from under all the scandals she has been involved in over the years... Sanders? Well what legacy is he going to leave behind? He can't even do his hair most of the time and hasn't amounted to much. Prior to the 2016 Election I had never heard of Bernie Sanders!

Trump on the other hand, he has a legacy... A desire to leave things better than he found them. This is what I look at! He's all in for America so I am all in for Trump!

He doesn't want the White House. He just wants to be able to say that he could have run the White House. He’s achieved that already and then some. If there is any question, take it from someone who was recruited to help the candidate succeed, and initially very much wanted him to do so.

hard truth is: Trump only cares about Trump.

I respect Trump's fans. That's why I can no longer support the man himself.
Even Trump's most trusted advisors didn't expect him to fare this well.

Almost a year ago, recruited for my public relations and public policy expertise, I sat in Trump Tower being told that the goal was to get The Donald to poll in double digits and come in second in delegate count. That was it.

The Trump camp would have been satisfied to see him polling at 12% and taking second place to a candidate who might hold 50%. His candidacy was a protest candidacy.

It pains me to say, but he is the presidential equivalent of Sanjaya on American Idol. President Trump would be President Sanjaya in terms of legitimacy and authority.

And I am now taking full responsibility for helping create this monster — and reaching out directly to those voters who, like me, wanted Trump to be the real deal.

My support for Trump began probably like yours did. Similar to so many other Americans, I was tired of the rhetoric in Washington. Negativity and stubbornness were at an all-time high, and the presidential prospects didn't look promising.

In 2015, I fell in love with the idea of the protest candidate who was not bought by corporations. A man who sat in a Manhattan high-rise he had built, making waves as a straight talker with a business background, full of successes and failures, who wanted America to return to greatness.

I was sold.

Last summer, I signed on as the Communications Director of the Make America Great Again Super PAC.

It was still early in the Trump campaign, and we hit the ground running. His biggest competitor had more than $100 million in a Super PAC. The Jeb Bush deep pockets looked to be the biggest obstacle we faced. We seemed to be up against a steep challenge, especially since a big part of the appeal of a Trump candidacy was not being influenced by PAC money.

After the first debate, I was more anxious than ever to support Trump. The exchange with Megyn Kelly was like manna from heaven for a communications director. She appeared like yet another reporter trying to kick out the guest who wasn’t invited to the party. At the time, I felt excited for the change to the debate he could bring. I began realizing the man really resonates with the masses and would bring people to the process who had never participated before.

That was inspiring to me.

It wasn't long before every day I awoke to a buzzing phone and a shaking head because Trump had said something politically incorrect the night before. I have been around politics long enough to know that the other side will pounce on any and every opportunity to smear a candidate.

But something surprising and absolutely unexpected happened. Every other candidate misestimated the anger and outrage of the “silent majority” of Americans who are not a part of the liberal elite. So with each statement came a jump in the polls. Just when I thought we were finished, The Donald gained more popularity.

I don't think even Trump thought he would get this far. And I don’t even know that he wanted to, which is perhaps the scariest prospect of all.

He certainly was never prepared or equipped to go all the way to the White House, but his ego has now taken over the driver's seat, and nothing else matters. The Donald does not fail. The Donald does not have any weakness. The Donald is his own biggest enemy.

A devastating terrorist attack in Pakistan targeting Christians occurred on Easter Sunday, and Trump’s response was to tweet, "Another radical Islamic attack, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women & children. At least 67 dead, 400 injured. I alone can solve."


Ignoring the fact that at the time Trump tweeted this (time-stamped 4:37 p.m.) the latest news reports had already placed the number differently at 70 dead, 300 injured, take a moment to appreciate the ridiculous, cartoonish, almost childish arrogance of saying that he alone can solve. Does Trump think that he is making a cameo on Wrestlemania (yes, one of his actual credits)?

This is not how foreign policy works. For anyone. Ever.

Superhero powers where "I alone can solve" problems are not real. They do not exist for Batman, for Superman, for Wrestlemania and definitely not for Donald Trump.

What was once Trump's desire to rank second place to send a message to America and to increase his power as a businessman has nightmarishly morphed into a charade that is poised to do irreparable damage to this country if we do not stop this campaign in its tracks.

I'll say it again: Trump never intended to be the candidate. But his pride is too out of control to stop him now.

You can give Trump the biggest gift possible if you are a Trump supporter: stop supporting him.

He doesn't want the White House. He just wants to be able to say that he could have run the White House. He’s achieved that already and then some. If there is any question, take it from someone who was recruited to help the candidate succeed, and initially very much wanted him to do so.

The hard truth is: Trump only cares about Trump.

And if you are one of the disaffected voters — one of the silent majority like me — who wanted a candidate who could be your voice, I want to speak directly to you as one of his biggest advocates and supporters.

He is not that voice. He is not your voice. He is only Trump's voice.

Trump is about Trump. Not one of his many wives. Not one of his many "pieces of ass." He is, at heart, a self-preservationist.

In fact, many people are not aware of the Trump campaign's internal slogan, but I will tell you. It is stolen from a make-believe television presidency on The West Wing where Martin Sheen portrayed President Bartlet. The slogan on the show amongst the idealistic group of Bartlet's staff was “Let Bartlet Be Bartlet.”

Inside the Trump camp, the slogan became "Let Trump Be Trump."

It is a repurposed slogan that seemed spot-on for the candidate. He is an intelligent, charismatic man who is involved in every aspect of his organization and would rather speak from the cuff than read briefing notes and recite them. I, in fact, admire Trump for this. But saying this qualifies him to be president is like saying that Seth Rogen is suited to be president. Another extraordinary improvisor, not an extraordinary presidential candidate.

Trump has undoubtedly lived up to the slogan, right down to his main public-relations liaison. Rather than go for a focus-group Washington insider, his communications person had previously taken press calls for the Trump Organization and directed them to the appropriate Trump child. She joked that before joining the campaign she thought "Common Core" was a class at Equinox.

The primary problem with this? What I've seen the longer I've helped prop him up along with the millions who are helping Trump is that we got the slogan wrong. A more accurate internal slogan would read, "Let Trump Help Trump."

Politics in Atlantic City isn't near as bad as all the casinos that opened up outside of NJ. Most good businessmen can adapt instead of bankrupting companies.

Donations by individuals surpass Trumps own donations to his campaign some time ago. Trump is not the only person backing Trump, not even close.

But I'd rather not elect anyone who is there simply to manipulate the people. I'd also like to elect someone who wasn't a businessman to head our army.

You apparently didn't read it. She QUIT.

“This person was never employed by the Trump campaign. Evidently she worked for a Super PAC which Mr. Trump disavowed and requested the closure of via the FEC. She knows nothing about Mr. Trump or the campaign and her disingenuous and factually inaccurate statements in no way resemble any shred of truth. This is yet another desperate person looking for their fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump is running for President because he is the only one who will Make America Great Again.”

I think it's pretty clear that trump only cares about trump. His hardcore supporters don't care, though. I bet they wouldn't care if everything on the letter was absolutely true.

Flaming liberals are worried. Very worried. They may want to concentrate on their top candidate who is under multiple criminal FBI investigations and can't generate enough excitement with her monotone voice to fill up a room

there i nothing to worry about

Trump is playing a role, he doesn't want to be the POTUS, he is now figuring out a way to lose the nomination

Why do you assume this?

This would explain many things.
I still tend to think he's trying to throw the election to Hillary.
I read this and other articles about this subject.
I was just coming to post this same article, City

I shared it on Facebook

So voting for a idiot is your way of saving face?........you really would vote for an idiot out of spite?, you really do hate America

believe it or not tragic, most of us are willing to help people who try and help themselves. what pisses us off is those who feel entitled and don't do shit to help themselves. No sympathy there. Maybe you support this type but I don't.

Add to this Trump having within a rather short time decided to run as a Republican. Not to mention his quirky Democratic leakage. I felt the same from the very start of his campaign.

So what is it you propose she's trying to make America look like if she is elected as our next President? And despite her inconsistencies, seems to me her policies are a lot more definitive than Donald Trumps. Funny, you've yet to elaborate on what the contents of Trumps policies are that are supposed to make America great again.

walt, one only has to watch what is occurring. Or are you saying you've been hired by the Dep't of Homeland Security to vet refugees and vouch for them.

Most folks are good and descent, but if you can't separate the wheat from the chaff your post here is insincere and dishonest.
