5 Things To Remember About 'The Donald' - The National Memo

For years Donald Trump has boasted about what a great president he would make, brashly calling out pols as finks and phonies while never actually running for any elected office himself. That came to an end Tuesday morning with a rally at the Midtown Manhattan tower that bears his name.

“I don’t like what I see happening to America,” Trump said in a video released by his campaign. Over footage of America’s infrastructure collapsing, businesses shuttering, and unemployment, he continued: “Our politicians are all talk, no action.”

Echoing comments he made in January, when he vowed to make a “beauty” of a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, Trump said: “Millions of people are flowing across our southern border. We need to build a real wall.“

As he enters his first political campaign, here are five things from The Donald’s formidable career to keep in mind.

1. He likes to file for bankruptcy.

Trump has repeatedly said that he would run the country the way he’s run his businesses. Which is not exactly inspiring given that, despite his considerable wealth, Trump has filed for corporate bankruptcy four times.

WOW I was going to say the same thing.......ok so then what I said yesterday

#7 - He is too much of a lone wolf. He can never work with Congress, because,
a. he has already called them out as do-nothing idiots, and
b. they would do anything to see him fail, after he called them as do-nothing idiots.

He wants to handle everything, be involved in everything. Just like Sarah Palin, he wants to run all phases of the government.....
and besides, he's an asshat......
