Robert, you said:

For decades I've wanted a business man in the Oval office.

My continued desire is to give Trump 8 years and hope that many dynamic businessmen will see that public service can accomplish great things and step forward to be a suitable replacement.


I'm curious why the businessman for the job today (who is to be looking after your Social Security, Medicare, and the Treasury) is one who went bankrupt 6-times, including a casino, which is nearly impossible to bankrupt? Why not someone like Bill Gates, Peter Theil, or Marc Cuban? Is the current president a placeholder for the person you really wish to see there?

Also, typically a person's hometown supports them in an election, but Queens voted 9:1 against him in 2016. Why did the people who knew him best vote that way? I can't recall a time when that happened in the past.

Don't flame me. I'm just asking objectively so to better understand. I know the president inspires passionate responses and unites many sections of our society.

As an investor, would you hire a money manager who was 6-times bankrupt? If you asked anyone on the street this question, it would be very hard to get an answer in the affirmative, but with the name Trump, it's not an issue with our Treasury and budget and safety nets. Why is this?
