When I was in High School, my mother took me to buy my first suit jacket. She wouldn’t let me buy a black, brown, or blue jacket. She didn’t want me to be a conservative ‘suit’ when I grew up, so she picked out a suit jacket as far from conservative as could be found in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA in the mid 1980’s. I was reminded of that shopping trip when I first picked up this book. Because, if there is a man who seems to represent what my mother didn’t want me to become, that man would have to be Donald Trump.
When I was growing up my mother was a big time Libertarian, and her biggest fear seemed to be that I would grow up a conservative ‘suit’, a Donald Trump. I am not so sure which way she leans politically now, she seems to have grown more conservative as she has gotten older. But after reading this book I wouldn’t call Trump a conservative, of course he isn’t a bleeding heart liberal either.
In 2000 there could have been an additional candidate for President of the United States of America, Donald Trump. This book outlines what Trump would do as President to turn America into the America we deserve. The one thing you can say about Trump is that he doesn’t have to pull any punches, and he doesn’t have to worry about toeing the party line, either party. Trumps plans will upset both the right and the left, he doesn’t discriminate in that regard. He even has a plan to make the rich pay off the national debt.
Trump discusses issues in this book that are troubling America today, the problems he addresses are still prevalent. I would be willing to vote for a candidate who was willing to stand up and address these same problems, and present us with well thought out and viable solutions, regardless of his or her party affiliations.
