Take me to your leader!

So can admit something. This might bring a huge aspect of embarrassment and might actually cast me in the loony category to many of my companions but I am going to actually put it out there, bare my soul, expose this hidden secret about myself that might raise eyebrows. No, I’m not gay. No, I’m not vegan and I don’t believe in aliens. Brace yourself. I like Donald Trump.

So....go ahead laugh.....louder. My husband just left the room when I read him my entry so believe me, I understand. But I can’t help myself. And this is why I blog.

I also liked Giuliani...still do. But in the last election, he got sun baked in the primaries and probably got attacked by all the old ladies in the condos of Florida that used to be New Yorkers from his old neighborhood and never took the election seriously.

Why I always like the potential candidate that has seriously the worst chance for getting in? Maybe because I like the underdog. Sigh. What is it about Trump you may ask my absolutely crazy mind that would actually even consider hoping for political success for this guy?

Well, first off. He’s a New Yorker. Second, he a tough guy. Third, I like his line of reasoning.
These were the reasons I liked Giuliani. I would vote Trump over Palin anyday. That is if I was a registered political person of conservative persuation, but I am not. I’m an independent because I like the motion of swinging back and forth between the two parties over crocodile pool. It adds to the excitement. Poor Trump, you got to feel for the guy with his bad hair deal...all the money in the world and he can’t get decent hair. That makes him an instant underdog. He’s had less wives than Larry King...so that’s not bad in this relative world. We don’t know if he’s cheated on those wives like good o’l Newt whose justified that he was “working hard for our country and ….” took comfort in some extra marital activities. What would he do with the hard work of the role of President? Polygamy?

When we are looking at the line up of who might run against the current lame duck President. It really is pathetic. But the more I hear the tough talk of Trump, I am embarrassed to say... I like him all the more. I don’t think he has a chance in hell’s freezing over of getting in. America just can’t get over his hair piece. But he’s a wise guy, and just by the nature of his tough business...he has nothing to loose so he tells it like it is. Like the old Rockefeller, the Mellon and the Carnegies of the industrial age he has come from meager means and built a huge empire. We forget that our country’s economy were shaped by guys like Trump that knew how money works and knew how to motivate people, and invest money. I think we now need to turn a blind eye into his love of building casinos and influencing society with the love of money...aka evil. Hey, did you know that Trump's Dad's middle name is Christ...seriously... and he's Presbyterian...that counts right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump I am not quite sure how Trump would go over in other areas of leadership like foreign policy, or who he would pick for judicial roles, or if the moral compass is pointing south when it should be pointing north when it comes to passing laws that would have huge social consequences on our young people. Oh Gosh...and would he put a shiny gold facade and black glass over the White House...my imagination is running wild.

The religious moral majority right wing looks to these things when picking a candidate. But honestly they fall down in their own standards of leadership before they even run and it is slim pickin’ these days for good leadership. If Palin is uses her faith to justify her convictions, I would have to have a good sit down with her about how far she intends to apply those convictions on the whole nation. And that goes for Rick Santorum as well.

Which brings me to my next question of the day....where have all the good leaders gone?

I would almost venture to say they are extinct. We’ve disabled good leaders from leading. So, like Trump entrepreneurship is a media in which he has been able to freely exercise his leadership skills, and frankly he’s extremely successful. He's actually not the richest man in the nation. Trump always made his kids work for their privileged lifestyle and you certainly don’t see his children like Paris Hilton romping the globe in hot pants toting a Chihuahua coining the phrase "that's hot". He made his kids go to Harvard business school before they touched one penny of his business. He was a tough disciplinarian, this I know from a 20/20 interview years ago with Barbara Walters. He knows a good and honest deal, and hates cheaters....which leads me to think he thought high of the “deal” of marriage. He hasn’t tried to cover up his inatiquities in that department by saying...”I cheated on my wife because I was hard at work for our country.” He’s not religious or spiritually inclined to my knowledge although he touts a Presbyterian faith, but he does call for transparency and bringing the truth to light in many issues he’s been speaking about lately. Even giving light to the “birther” issue. Because he values what our Constitution says, he credits the crazy “birthers” to the issue of the difference of “certificate of live birth” vs “birth certificate”. There is a big difference. And according to Trump- he’s right when he says..."just show us (the nation) your birth certificate...I’ll show you mine it's upstairs" in a recent interview. It’s the deal breaker and should be. His willingness to be open to the public says something about the man.

Trump does not always do what people like and did I mention his hair? His buildings are gaudy. He loves money. (And money is the root of all evil according to scripture...so I’m just sayin’ Presbyterian or not) But I like his tough business character and the fact he has nothing to loose in running for President.
I don’t know if I could ever get used to saying President Trump, but somehow I also see him dividing the country into “apprentice” teams, maybe east coast, west coast and giving young entrepreneurs a chance to express leadership qualities that perhaps we have done more to squelch with politics and policies then open opportunities. The question is...if he fails as team leader for our country...do we get to say.....

Trump “You’re Fired!”
