First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
— Mahatma Gandhi

Let's set a premise before exploring other issues where Donald Trump is concerned using the above quote.

1) "First they ignore you ...";  'He will never file' the experts said — then he did.

2) "then they laugh at you ..." 'just a publicity stunt' ... 'A summer fling' the expert's said — but his numbers just kept going up!

3) "then they fight you ..." debate rule changes, ad hominym attacks and media & internet trolls disparaging Donald's character based on isolated points ... and all the 'cheap shots' got "Trumpled" with facts and logic mainstream America knows are right.

4) "then you win" ... national poll numbers now show that Donald Trump's message hits the hearts of wholesome Americans who care about their country ... and in big percentages.

There are many online who imply that Trump is all ego and no substance ... let's look at that logically.

1) Trump has built a personal fortune of 10+ billion dollars. At times he used the in-place "system" to accomplish his goals ... goals that employed many people ... short-term during construction, long-term with ongoing staff requirements (Real jobs)

Should he be proud of that and feel free to talk about it? I think so!

And should YOU appreciate that he publicly acknowledged that his ability to donate to politicians in exchange for 'favors' later "is a broken system (In his words)?"

Again I think so ... where else have you been getting that level of blunt honesty about how things REALLY work in today's America ... and today's world in general?

2) Why should Trump be embarrassed about his accomplishments and subsequent wealth? People have flocked to America from all over the world since it's inception to find the opportunity to achieve wealth and independence ... Why would they have done so if it were possible in their home country?

Is Trump not, therefore, an EXAMPLE of what is possible to those who work hard in America?

3) The Trump "brand" is synonymous with SUCCESS ... 10+ billion dollars of net worth PROVE that.

Ask yourself this; Would a man capable of such success invest a huge amount of his own money to campaign for a 'losing deal'?

Donald Trump is putting his OWN money behind his OWN mouth ... please let me know if there is any other candidate who is doing so. And tell me how anyone beholden to a donor can be free to speak his own thoughts without strings attached.

Again I share my thoughts from above the 49th. Some may say I should keep my thoughts to myself ... that I don't have a dog in the fight! Ohhhhh contrair (improvised French) ... I DO have a dog in the fight!

Donald Trump's success has been based on America being a successful country. America's success directly affects Canada's success as major trading partners. Therefore we are subject to thee in that respect. So I have that dog ... and his tail is wagging at the thought of making America great again.

We, in Canada, have the experience of what happens when you have weak politicians ... research the history of the Avro Arrow fighter jet ... then compare that to the technology (military & otherwise) transfers the Clinton administration made to China years back. Weak.

Weak politicians complain about Donald's "tones" ... I applaud his "stones" ... to risk himself and his future to tell the truth and put himself forward on America's behalf.
