Two thoughts on Donald Trump.
Thought #1
As found elsewhere: Donald Trump’s rivals and Fox News’ debate moderators laid out a clear and factual case on Thursday that Trump’s policies were unworkable; that he regularly shifted his positions; and that he had engaged in business practices he routinely denounces on the campaign trail.
Trump, in turn, bragged about the size of his penis and promised to force Americans to commit war crimes. He remains the odds on favorite to win the Republican nomination.
Thought #2
Trump isn't a businessman. He's a real estate developer, which is a beast unto itself. Real estate developers tend to look at every act as a deal to be negotiated. It's been jokingly said that developers go to the grocery store and when the cashier tells them their total is X, the developer says, "no, make that X minus 20% or you can put all this stuff back on the shelves."
As part of this deal mentality, developers will scarf up any benefit offered. They may be personally against a specific subsidy, but if it gets the deal done or improves the bottom line, sign them up. Lastly, they tend to be supremely self-confident. They need to be - getting a parcel of land developed is not an easy task.
