    Trump is a business man and ran the country with that mindset and in the process made a few mistakes but made a lot more positives. If the Democrats would have in the least bit worked with him I think we could have done amazing things. He is brash said things how he saw it and didn't apologize for it, that got him into a lot of controversy but he usually stuck to his guns. He knows how to push the people who opposed him buttons (Pocahontas) which caused the Dems to hate him but his base loved it. 

    They used everything they could to get rid of him lied cheated made up evidence and spied on his campaign, over 2 1/2 years of investigations, multiple law suits, endless attempts to get his tax records, MSM had negative coverage what 97% of the time. The first kangaroo court impeachment where they hid in the basement and would not let Republicans in to review witness testimony or cross examine. Then Nadler kept blocking questions Republicans wanted to ask.

    What the second impeachment Congress didn't even hold a trial they just impeached him and he still won in the end, how many other Politicians could go through all the investigations and media bias and still manage to get things done.  The media need him without Trump their ratings tank (CNN) the Democrats need him to distract from all the idiotic policies they pass and the disasters that follow.

    Bottom line he's far from perfect, I think fact he was an outsider which helped him get things done, he saw a problem and tried to fix it which got him into a lot of hot water at times...he didn't know how to play the game but I think he had good intentions.

    If he broke the law he should be held accountable but it's hard to tell because of all the illegal things the Democrats have tried to do to get rid of him they are obsessed (TDS) so it is difficult to take the current quest to get rid of him serious they have blown all credibility.  

    Well that's it hopefully my old English teacher doesn't red mark all my mistakes! 😉

    OK Vambo the mjp inital grades on your reply to me.....subject to change as time goes on.  On a A B C D F scale no C, D or F grades that's for sure.

    A few things about me besides my 25+ years in the steel industry with 3 Fortune 500 companies all were #1 in their specialty while I was there, ironically two of them later dropped off USS (X) and GATX (GATC or GATX) are no longer leaders swallowed up by young healthy companies like NUCOR  (go look them all up, later).  I still have stock in all 3 and retired from the now #1 steel company in the USA NUCOR  (NUE) the best of the three.

    I finished my MBA with a dual major in Management and Finance while at NUCOR's steel joist and deck division Vulcraft but all 3 together paid for 100% of of my graduate school,  mjp paid 0% for tuition,  books, fees etc. Nice perk I had there while  working for all three.  I'm qualified to teach on the collegiate level business classes.  Now on to Vambo.

    B-  Knowledge of subject matter,  need a little honest look into the Democratic viewpoint on things.

    A   Knowledge about DJT and his political views.

    B+  On willingness to see the other side's viewpoint.  Can improve in time.

    A   Getting your message into a small reply.  (No grade on your English here, just political facts.)

    A.  Overall.  I might not be as generous on others but who knows that might improve too with additional conversations. 

    I think you passed.  mjp.   

    ......edit add.  Interests, Browns, Fishing,  Music, Billards.   

    A person who likes to think things through,  not prone to jumping to conclusions.   Now what are your educational and work/life experiences ?  Current employment ?

    I always feel that educational and then your work/life experiences tend to go together. Sometimes that's better than just letter grades.

    First you need to do an analysis on Joe Biden the same as you asked on Trump as Biden would say Quid Pro....you know the thing!😁

    The only big problem I have with Trump is he tends to say stupid things and sticks his foot in his mouth... Otherwise , I think he has some good policies and some great ideas... He understands though that you have to run America like a business.. there's just no getting around it. People who believe otherwise are living in some self made utopian fantasy. When you have Domestic and Foreign interests you have to "play ball" sometimes. Trump was the right man for this... And as far as having failed business in his history.. He's had successful ones... Not every business one starts is successful.. Sometimes you have you have Failure in some sense to move forward. All politicians break laws. Just about all Millionaires and billionaires break laws... I remember a quote by Mario Puzo that went something like... "Behind every Millionaire,There are a Million crimes"

    OK  Mr nickers  you're up next.  First he is the defending champion in his first year in my 12+ years running our Fleaflicker FL,  not bad !  My favorite of all of the FLs out there.   Now on to my assessment of Mr nickers.....

    ..... "The only big problem I have with Trump is he tends to say stupid things and sticks his foot in his mouth".......

    Now that is an honest answer about Mr DJT but it says a lot "The Donald " is not a professional politician in fact this was his first ever political race of any kind....The President of the United States of America ?   Are you kidding me ?  Impossible thing to do from a businessman who was on a TV game contest to POTUS.  

    But it shows that DJT knew the power of being on TV he learned the power of being the story  without spending a dime !   Brilliant !  The other guys are out fundraising and making promises  (some they know they can't keep)  to get millions and millions of dollars to pay for what DJT is getting for FREE on every network  out there.

    And the  2016, 2020 presidential  elections were the first really social media driven races with both good *and evil consequences.   We were flooded with a lot of new terms like fake news among others many generated by DJT others by our enemies.   The later being a growing problem. 

    Now another insight  by Mr nickers  ......." Otherwise , I think he has some good policies and some great ideas... He understands though that you have to run America like a business."........

    And that's pretty much DJT did especially in his first year in office he did have some good ideas some like "the wall"  which I personally liked  -but-  politics got going starting to oppose DJT many times just on the red/blue thing.  And then around 2019 the COVID-19  worldwide pandemic began to mess things up for Trump and the United States in all walks of life.  Plus the 2020 election was on the horizon.

    And then the classic closing ....... " I remember a quote by Mario Puzo that went something like... "Behind every Millionaire,There are a Million crimes"......

    Well it is a funny ending with a bit of truth in it, every Millionaire or multimillionaire  or especially the billionaires might have to take some chances, bend a few rules or possibly step on a few toes and who knows what else to get there.  Not every person has a father that can give them  " a few million bucks"  to get started.....but some do.  

    My inital grades on an A B C D F scale.

    A   On your honest answer to the question, straight and to the point.  Some memorable quotes there.

    B  On the depth of subject matter, can be improved over time. Touched on several issues.

    B+  On using the Mario Puzo quote to make a point on a subject with some humor and probably.               more to the subject that needs investigating.

    B   On stating your opinions in one small thread post.  Not always easy to do.  

    B   Overall grade.  Well done and still room to expand and explore the topic.

    ......... edit add.  Interests:  Music, Composing, Arranging, Producer, Computers, Movies, Sports,

    Definitely a music side of Mr nickers who also likes movies and sports.  Kind of a WSS side to nickers.

    And any other life/work experiences that you would like to expand on ?   mjp.

    "How do you introduce evidence legally?"     Oh a note below.  mjp.

    Who's to say there wasn't certain "evidence" intentionally placed within that which was confiscation by Trump 

    On the the other hand (or both for that matter), if the FIB was planting "evidence"   .   .   .  

    The Camera's were never turned off - we've already seen comments that the FIB behaved badly by those that have seen the tapes.

    ....there, I cleaned up your reply a bit,  looks better this way.

    I guess you didn't understand my post to Vambo I wanted to know his personal opinion of DJT  NOT  some deep right wing political jargon.   Ask a question  about DJT and you get some attack against the other side....not what I was asking. 

    OK I'll ask the same question to you JAFBF if you're interested about any other things that you would like to share like background,  education,  work or life experiences.   Sometimes  you can get a whole different opinion about the other person.   Why not ?    And of course I'd try to answer anything about me....besides being all red or blue....I can guarantee I'm not all one color.

    For example I was for some of Trump’s ideas early on in his presidency for one the wall  a good idea that we know now sure would have helped the things on our southern border.  We now have an uncontrollable mess, a free pass for anyone who shows up at the Rio Grande to flood into the USA.   

    Geee if we started again tomorrow how long to fix it ?   😆.    I have a few more plus a few things I don't like about "The Donald"  well more than a few. Just the way it works we all have our opinions and ideas......that we believe are right.

    Care to comment on that ?  I do pop over here once in awhile and.......

    GO BROWNS,  that is why we're here right ?

    I wasn't attacking, just pointing out there's more too the story.

    I'm on record stating I have reservations about Trump, but so far what he's done is what's needed to be done.

    He's not perfect, but no one is.

    As far as R / D, I'm on the R side as they're not Socialist / Communist as the D's are - it's just more evident now.

    (I)ndependent is a nice idea, but in practice has just split votes between bad D and bad R.

    Hopefully this will be addressed somehow down the road, but for now it's a mess.

    Politicians all suck - period.

    It's been a "lesser of two evils" for decades.

    There are going to be lot of R's going down as well.

    They are perhaps worse than the D's as they're only pretending to be R's, fooling/stealing support to push the Uni-Party agenda.

Where they ship your jobs to Mexico, close plants and layoff thousands of workers and force you to move to another state and if you don't you're done with the company? That kind of business?

    Run it like trumpy does. Milk every business for everything you can while you stiff the working man, con your loaners and then declare bankruptcy. Even trumpy said he loves debt. Maybe we can get laundered money out of Deutsche Bank who then forgives the debt. Perfect trumpy business model.
