BTW
I didn't know about it and every thread tends to turn into Trump on here. |

I plead guilty; I detest him unlike any other politician in my 6 decades. It's not an unknown 'something' which creates the intense feelings against him. It was during the primaries when I watched him reveal what a pig he is that I grew to dislike him intensely. His behavior repulsed me but that same behavior, sadly, attracted others.
Until he came down that escalator in 2015, I knew very little about him other than he was a rich NY real estate developer and had been married a few times. I didn't even know who Melania was. |

That's because you live in New Zealand. If you'd been here, you would have known about it. It happened just under 4 years ago. Here it is for you:

I considered it several years back when he first mentioned it. This was before I knew much about him other than he was a successful businessman (I didn't know about the bankruptcies). Like many, I wondered if we needed a businessman who wasn't a politician.
What would persuade me to vote for him now? Nothing. I know too much about him and have seen what his presidency is like. He'd have to transform into a completely different person, morally and politically, for me to vote for him. We know that isn't going to happen. |

And to hear him tell it, he's not only just a person, but a 'very stable genius' person who knows more about how to fight a war than the generals, has one of the greatest memories in history, and has accomplished more than any other president in the history of the US. He's not just a person; he's SuperPerson!
