I would believe this 100%. Back in in the early days before the primaries, I had my doubts about Trump. I believed some of the BS going around, that he was only doing it for money, that he was a secret Dem and was trying to sabotage the GOP, that he was an arrogant asshole that only cares about himself (this persists).

However 2 things changed my mind. The old Oprah interview from 30 years ago when a young Trump was saying the same exact things he was saying campaigning. The man was consistent and I began to believe he meant what he said.

Second thing was a huge Reddit thread, probably in /r/politics before it became scum, where hundreds of people were telling of their experiences meeting Trump in person.

There was one story I still remember vaguely. The details are hazy, but basically Trump was travelling in his limousine and came across a car on the side of the road. Older couple, he paid to have their car towed and he got them a ride home. He later sent them a check literally paying off their mortgage.

Sounds like one off propaganda, but there were 100s of stories like this, some big some small.

And with as much as the media hated the man, don't you think if he really was an asshole to work around/for, we'd have 100s of people on all the time that used to work for Trump and gossip about him nonstop? You know the media would have had those people as often as they could, if they existed. And a man who owns so many businesses over many years, has met many workers.

Anyway I think Trump truly is a good man, he's raised good kids, none of his ex wives talk shit about him. He comes across as brash, an asshole at times, etc. Of course many of us voted for him because that's what we thought we needed.

Its unfortunate that the softer side of Trump is so rarely told to us by the media, seditious, really.

When he got out of his motorcade that was blocked by leftists idiots and walked to the venue... that’s when I knew we were dealing with a force to be reckoned with.

Most people that have been charged with business leadership are the same.

Trump, of course, is the most exceptional version of this.

An decently-experienced division manager at a larger company would get more results for the American people than the the snobbish DC elite.

The DC elite are basically parasites on the US Treasury.

I love that entrance. Here it is: https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=I_jHviSHykI&feature=youtu.be&t=48

I loved this reply from a former site that shall not be mentioned:

It was hilarious when he was talking about it in his speech. "I had to crawl through a ravine. Had to go through a cut fence. It almost felt like I was entering into the country illegally."

All the while, the Golden hair flowing...

It's like nothing I have ever seen in my life.

I boarded the train unsure, then I realized there were no brakes and the conduct was a Very Stable Genius Madman!

Yeah...how many men can say that their 2 ex-wives still speak kindly about them? Not many, that's for certain.

That thread about meeting Trump seemed so so long ago. I remember reading that along with that other thread about meeting the Clintons. Everybody fawned over Bill while saying Hillary was cold and quiet for the most part.

DTJ and Eric stopped on the highway and changed a lady's tire for her. Good people. Taught well by their parents.
