What does Galt's Gulch think about Donald Trump?

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
They just seem like caricatures of what the mainstream considers a "normal" candidate should be.
likes to fire people. From some things I have read
about him, he is apparently not all that much in fav-
or of free enterprise. I want Scott Walker to be the
nominee. Still, I would vote for
Trump over Hillary Clinton, of course,
and the economy, too! -- j

Yes, I'm sure Trump has greased the political wheels at times.
of a difference for good, having seen them. . they might read AS
and become Quentin Daniels or at least the bum with the white shirt!!! -- j

He donated to Obama, Hillary/Bill Clinton and many other Dem's yet he is conservative and cares for the republic?
He has major deals, investments, money & businesses in Saudi Arabia as well as Dubai [muslim controlled areas]. So we see he has his hands in doing whatever the islamist's want to save his interests there.
We see his name everywhere but, real estate searches show he doesn't actually own most of them all sold off years ago! An example of this comes from Atlantic City and the Trump Casino's which he declared bankruptcy on 5 TIMES from 1991-2009, all making him money...he now has a minimal 'holding' in the company, this is the same across the world with his holdings...his mortgages are 84% of his holding’s [not including interest, which for him comes as balloon payments some of which come due while he would be POTUS (if elected)].
Add to this the fact that his NYC announcement speech was funded by him right down to the majority of attendees [he hired actors to attend many paid extra to hold signs], same was found in NH as well. He claims to have the largest followings in Iowa and other stops he has gone too, only a quick search show he is lying about that as well. He is a ‘salesman’ and good at ‘bloviating’.
This man sends up so many red flags I believe he has stock in them… I as others like to hear him say it like [we want to be] it is but how do you believe him is the question of those of us that have looked into the man and his past? I for one cannot.

So, Trump saying he will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it ignores the writing of a bill, the debate, the amendment, the vote, sending it to the senate, finding the appropriate committee, the debate, the amendment, the vote, the resolution between house and senate versions, and finally presentation to the executive branch for signing to become law. What he is saying is food for the low information voters in the republican party.
He is telling people the lie-du-jour to convince them he shares their concerns. He is just good at doing it in an entertaining way. I don't see anything about this guy that makes one thing that:
a) He operates based on reason
b) He has any core principles whatsoever except to increase his personal fame
c) He could actually get anything done at all in DC.
I don't even trust his so called business acumen. It's not clear how he has actually had "success" (or how much of it he has had) or whether he mostly got the successes he got through political pull (or outright buying off the local politicians).
