Is Donald Trump An Anchor Baby?

African-Americans have a saying, “two wrongs don't make a right.” It empowered a people who had suffered slights and bias to steady the course and plow forward, without bringing disrepute to themselves or their community. It valued truth.
I find myself thinking about that saying when I listen to Donald Trump.
In the name of Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump's name should not be resurrected, even if he saddles a mule and shouts: you're fired! for the high office of the USA President. Simply put, Trump is master fake (how he made his “money”) and a monstrous fraud (legal fraud is selling investor stakes, promising to meet obligations, and using the laws of bankruptcy to reorganize and downsize capital while others are left holding your worthless promise). He flip-flops more than pancakes at the I-HOP lunch hour. Once he wanted to tax the rich; now it's a “bad idea.” Once he was pro-choice, now he's pro-life.
Heritage: First, Trump's German immigrant grandmother was probably not a naturalized US citizen and may not have had a birth certificate. Born in the town, Kallstadt Pfalz, Germany, she was married in Germany.
His grandmother and grandfather, both German immigrants to the US at the turn of the century--who probably didn't have birth certificates when they entered the country—so far, no evidence exists that they did--began assembling the family's commercial wealth when they founded a construction company, Elizabeth Trump and Son. Trump's father married his Scottish mother, and the family lived in Queens, New York.
Did Trump's mother have a birth certificate when she migrated? Why have no media reporters asked him directly or investigated the status of his immigrant family more closely? Did generations of his family enter the country legally? When Trump referencing his family experience? The question unanswered: is Donald Trump an anchor baby? Was his grandfather? Where's the proof?
Trump's Character. No, not the ego driven, hard edged executive who was charging for “education” at Trump University which issued no degrees, certificates, grades, or credits and was forced to shut down by several state attorney generals, including Texas and New York. It's back with a name change, although New York's Better Business Bureau give it a grade of “D ”. This man wants to manage the national deficit when his business debt ranged above $3.5 billion and his personal debt reached close to a $1 billion, by 1994.
Character here is his personal core values, the way he lives, his personal choices. His advice: have passion; Be tenacious. Take action. His life: three divorces, all break ups precipitated by his cheating openly.. While he demands loyalty, he disregards it in his personal relationships. He called the President of Columbia University “a moron” and “dummy” after he stopped a mid-town real estate deal in which Trump had an interest. Trump talks about the art of the deal, but he loves the audacious put down, ridiculing others with name calling, and using descriptions that low rate those who question or challenge his dubious judgement.
Trump Finances. Trump has had four of his business file for bankruptcy and undergo reorganization, including his casino business. He has resigned from the boards of businesses he founded when the finances were shaky, leaving others to catch and clean up his mess and debts. His business bankruptcies occurred in 1991, 1992, 2004, and 2009. His current holdings include a bottled water branded with his name.
His casino company built a monstrosity of a building that didn't have a sound plan, ignored the facts of the business climate, borrowed money at the shyster rate of 14%, met none of its projections, and was doomed to fail by bad odds played out by an addictive, defiant ego.
Trump on Poverty. Can you picture Donald Trump in a soup kitchen? That's his answer to homelessness and poverty; greater community involvement.
Trump on Trade and Foreign Policy. Trump's foreign policy borrows from Groucho Marx. On Groucho's television, if you “say the right word, win a $100.” Trump believes and has said repeatedly that all we have to do is “say the right word” to China and they will change their trade policies. The same with the Middle Eastern countries in OPEC, if “we tell them in the right way,” they'll bring the price of oil down.
If Trump knows the magic word why doesn't he just say it? The country would vote for him in a heartbeat.
Why doesn't Donald walk the walk? There's another African-American saying, if you are on the rise, the work you do speaks for itself.

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)Walter, that's the best description of the "Donald" that I've ever read. Beautifully done! He is the blowhard of the age. From his hair to his apartment, he is as phoney as a $3 dollar bill. Anyway, he couldn't get elected dog catcher and he knows it. This charade is stricktly to promote his TV show. BTW, he'll never show his tax return, because dollars to donuts, he doesn't pay any taxes; just like GE and the other corporations. He and they take and never give back.
Keep the critisism coming, I love it.
Good luckThanks Robert.
