Trump: I consult myself on foreign policy

I'm trying to show that there are things other than money that motivate people.

Yes

Some people don't have the intelligence to figure out what would be in their best interest.

Yes, and politicians take advantage of that.

There are a ton of strawman issues that politicians use to get elected.

And I think that's why that Trump is doing well.

Unlike other candidates, he has no strawman issues. Take away the strawman issues that other candidates, and you'll realize that they all have nothing.

That's why Trump is winning. He lies the least, and people subconsciously understand that.

He will win the GOP ticket.

The problem I have with Trump is that he knows NOTHING about how to run a country, and the way he grew up, the only people he knows to surround himself with to run the country are capitalists.

I watched a documentary called "Inequality for all"

Robert Reich is my new hero. I was shocked to hear that he met Bill Clinton on a boat for some sort of scholar trip when Clinton brought him soup and crackers when he was sick. Both scholars, both on a goodwill trip, both from humble backgrounds.

Clinton gets elected, and he asks who's the smartest person he knows to become the head of the Department of Labouir. Reich.

Now I don't think that Clinton is any angel, and I cringe at Hillary as well, but imagine if Trump made it to office. Who does he know that should get those important jobs? I'd suspect his best friends. Maybe his kids?

I'll leave you with this story of Michel Brown, head of FEMA during Hurricane Katrina, and how he got that position.

After Bush entered office in January 2001, Brown joined FEMA as General Counsel. He was the first person hired by his long-time friend, then-FEMA director Joe Allbaugh,[14] who also ran Bush's election campaign in 2000. Allbaugh later named Brown his acting deputy director in September 2001. Bush formally nominated him as deputy director on March 22, 2002.
