Is Hillary Getting Desperate?

Personally, I can't stand the idea of any of the 4 main candidates getting elected.  I'm sick of Hillary, Cruz is a nut, Bernie is a nut, and Trump already has the leader of one of our main economic allies telling him to go f*** himself.  I don't give a crap if Trump is a jerk, the problem I have is that people seem to think him being "un PC" is going to do anything.  If Trump ends up being an effective politician it's going to be because he stopped acting like the lunatic that got elected.

Does Trump cater to the wealthy?  Trump just seems like he caters to Trump.  The guy has already treated a presidential bid like a total ego trip, and now the country is so terrible that his shtick is getting support by people who seem to think our latest administration has just been walking around the earth surrendering to everyone.

Personally, I want Trump to win.  I want to see what happens when he waves his dick in the face of the rest of the earth and says USA SAYS DO THIS!!!! and so on.

That's kind of what made this country great.  The last 7 years, we've just been kissing other country's asses and not being the greatest country on the planet.  We've gone from a country where competition breads excellence and makes us the best that we can possibly be to a country that wants to make sure that no one succeeds too much so no one feels inferior.  

I'm not saying that we need to be assholes, but we need the confidence in our leader to take us back to being the leading country of the world.

I do think the arsehole thing is an act.  You don't make the deals he's done if that's how you treat people across the table, but when he "sells" policies and actions to the American people can he keep his foot out of his mouth with the bravado that offends foreign partners?  When he does a real estate deal, he doesn't go before the public and talk about the terms and the other side, and I'm not sure he can avoid the bragging or put-downs.

He's worked with companies and governments of other countries, so he's a good diplomat.  

He knows how to get deals done and knows what it takes to make things work, including this country's business model.

that's as literally not caring for a little person as you can get.

Do you even know the story or are you just going off things someone told you?

Trump was angry because he was being sued because his alcoholic's brother was left out of the will (which was the right move), and then Trump did that in retaliation, but they ended up settling it amicably.
