discipline as evidence by his diet and his overly aggressive libido.
So, then, please tell me how did get accepted into an Ivy league school, become "successful" in commercial real estate, had a major network TV show touting him as a great businessman, won the nomination of the Republican party, and then became president.
How could he have done any of this?

(2,064 posts)I don't think he does anything else all that well, but he's a great con man.
He behaves like a 13 year old asshole who was given a fortune to play with.

Pathetic and poor republican leadership in the GOP. This alone should make anyone pause to even want to support this party ever again. As un-American as you can get, and pandering only to their wealthy donors, no one else.

Well, Trump is inclined to act exactly like that.

(12,599 posts)He promised his followers the moon and delivered a shit sandwich, which doesn't phase them because they have been assured they are the only ones smart enough to know what's going on. And they get to wear red hats.
During the campaign, he smartly targeted one GOP candidate at a time, attacking with the force of an out of control machine gun until they capitulated or were eliminated. Eventually he was last man standing. Say what you will about Fat Donnie, he's a survivor.
Then, with Russia's help, he gamed the election to win the Electoral College and won "the biggest victory ever," except for all the others that were bigger.
Ultimately, IQ45 proved the adage we were told in elementary school, "We live in a country where anybody can become president."
