So many people were dying to have a businessman for their president. Your Crusading Blogger herself would have voted for Ross Perot in 1992, had he not dropped out of the presidential race. I saw him here in Da Burgh and was very impressed with him -- fiscally conservative, but socially liberal, Ross Perot was appealing after a dozen years of "Uncle Ronnie" Reagan, and George "Read My Lips, No New Taxes" Bush.
Well, friends, we now have a businessman for a president, and what a wheeler-dealer he is!
We have learned that
Trump wanted to sell Puerto Rico in 2017, after Hurricane Maria savaged the island. Because, you know, it's always a sound principle in business to sell when your product is at its worst, right? But, you know, maybe we're attached to Puerto Rico And Puerto Ricans, and wouldn't it be better to get them back on their feet again? And what the hell, see if maybe they would enjoy statehood?
And we saw Trump's tremendous business acumen again just two years later in 2019 when it was announced
Trump wanted to buy Greenland. Laughable, only because, as Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Fredriksen pointed out, Greenland wasn't for sale. And this blogger speculates that, even if it were, it is unlikely Fredriksen would have ever sold it to Trump, the self-described "bull in a china shop"! And when Fredriksen said no, Trump displayed his famous even temper, calling her "nasty", his favorite insult for uppity women who have the nerve to deny or disagree with him, and then he dissed NATO while he was at it. Ya gotta love him, doncha?
This blogger has no idea why Donald Trump's businesses suffered
six bankruptcies, do you?
