    • @jaykauf9801
      @jaykauf9801 2 года назад

      The reason "they" hate him is because he is NOT one of them. They hated him as president because he would not join their club of corrupt political cronies and the knew they then couldn't trust him simply because he would NOT join their club. Notice BOTH the democrats and many republicans hated him. The democrats hating him was to be expected. The republicans that hated him were all establishment RINOS anyways. I could see that one coming a mile away. Trump is a walking talking billboard taking no excuses for failure kid of guy. Trump was not just disliked by the establishment form BOTH parties................he was genuinely HATED. That is pure evil in of itself. If he runs in 2024, If there is any country left to save by then, he will do it in less than 2 years. But, in order for him to do it this time, the democrats and the RINOS need to be exposed and removed. Equally crucial to any Trump success again is the exposure and elimination of ALL the corrupt media too. The mainstream media is beyond redemption. 99% of them need to be totally eliminated. That goes for big tech too and ironically enough, that includes the owners of this channel too.

      There are deadbeats in every race. Not all of us Blacks are deadbeats; i.e., Foreclosure knows no race; it can happen to anyone.Trump's racist record speaks for itself, starting with his father. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. His (father) not renting to Blacks caused him to be sued for deliberate discrimination, not because they were deadbeats.Since when did NATO countries pay for that tower??Elderly Widow in Atlantic City: www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-time-donald-trumps-empire-took-on-a-stubborn-widow--and-lost/2015/09/09/f9cb287e-5660-11e5-b8c9-944725fcd3b9_story.html?noredirect=onSorry about your being mugged, wouldn't wish that on anyone. However, Central Park's no joyride. Wollman Rink: Ok, his name's not on it, however,The Wollman Rink is currently operated by the Trump Organization, whose contract is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2021. Operated by a private organization, aka Trump. I volunteered as a Skating Instructor for Figure Skating in Harlem, who held their annual fundraiser "Skating With the Stars" there. Minute Trump became president, that event was no longer held there; it's now a non-skating event. Interesting.How this thread shifted from How this Iconic skating rink....to going off on a tangent about street/route names, is beyond belief...but then, Repubs love shifting/deflecting from the subject.You're entitled to your opinion, with every due respect. My opinion about Trump still stands.

      If that is true, does it matter? Trump is taking flack for being the president and doing it for FREE, too. He donates his "salary" to various causes, NOT going into HIS bank account. His daughter and son-in-law are also doing their jobs for NO pay. He gave up his life of luxury to be harassed by people like you and everybody on the left and even people on the right, who are jealous that he beat them and is showing the world what "do-nothings" Congressmen and women really are! Would you do that for no pay? The bottom line is, he made it happen, in less time than the contract called for AND under budget. He took NO money for getting the rink up and running and has never taken a penny for it.
