(7,820 posts)The guy doesnt really strike me as particularly political or socially conscious. The only reason hes getting involved now is hes afraid, for the first time in decades, that one party might actually want him to pay a tiny bit closer to his fair share.

(1,735 posts)Apparently mere citizenship is not his lordships style, based on his behavior in Seattle. Por ejemplo, take the time he appropriated a city park for his driveway.

(20,587 posts)he is a republican trying to pass himself off as not. He sure does not understand politics at all but believes in his own arrogance.

(37,648 posts)just like Klugman said...(I think that's who said it)...he decided to run to stop the Democrats from going too far left, and he wanted to stop any tax cuts headed his way. I also think he didn't care about the country, but thought more that, "If Trump could get elected just because he has money, why can't I? I'm so wonderful, they'd be lucky to have me."
In that article, it said he didn't vote in most state & local elections, but ran a political voting push, saying that people need to get more involved and vote in all elections at all levels. Except for him, apparently.
