Chapter 2 of his book "Art of the deal": (https://www.amazon.com/Trump-Art-Deal-Donald-J-ebook/dp/B000SEGE6M) talks about 2 sacred imperatives of doing business in America, he lays out 10 of them. Number 8 and 9 are: "Deliver the goods" and "Contain the costs".

One paragraph I liked:

"To this day, if I feel a contractor is overcharging me, I'll pick up the phone, even if it's only for $5000 or $10000, and I'll complain. People say to me, "What are you bothering for over a few bucks?" My answer is that the day I can't pick up the telephone and make a twenty five cent call to save $10000 is the day I'm going to close up shop. "

He goes on to talk about bad contractors who screw you after they are half into a project, and Trump is always quick to make his ultimatums, and if the contractors don't play fair and play ball, then he doesn't hesitate to fire the contractors, rip out the steel, concrete and marble, sell it, and start all over again.

I suggest everyone read chapters 1 and 2 of the book, it makes you believe in the american dream, if only for a moment again. I think he really lays it all out on his recipe for investing a few million dollars into 4.5 billion over 30 years.

In the book you can tell he wrote it, his style hasn't changed much since he wrote it in 1987.

Scathing, a one sentence insult and a biased opinion at that? And if anything, Trump is one of the furthest people in the race from an idiot, and he's done a phenomanal job guiding the Republican nomination along the path he wanted it to go down. Trump literally wrote the book on business negotiations and persuasions, and he's been putting his skills to use this entire time. Take for instance the concept of an anchor, using a strong metaphorical or visual image as the center point for your deal; called such because the idea of it is designed to stick in your mind more readily than the details. Trump's wall may have seemed laughably over the top to you when he first said it, but it's exactly the kind of visual anchor I'm talking about; it's not some complicated policy or other intangible piece of politics, it's something voters can see existing in their minds, and quickly became a central point of his policies. Not only that, but it's proven to be a fairly solid anchor, to the point that within a few months several other candidates began working literal and metaphorical walls into their policies as well.

But no, surely you are right and Trump has just haphazardly stumbled his way through the nomination, and gotten lucky while taking 3/5 of the republican vote in a tough 7 man race

THIS


If American made drives you be sure you actually buy made in American not just branded American.

Personally, I think the most American thing to do is buy the best deal you can negotiate regardless of where its made.

>taking away people's guns without due process

Huh? You think President Trump is anti-2a? Serious?? He made one statement during a consultation meeting because he was trying to get Congress off its ass... 99.9% of the other statements he has made have been in support of 2a, big time. You will find very few if any real Trump supporters that believe he is a threat to 2a.

>or threatening a murderous dictator who just got a nuclear weapon

Yes, the legitimate threat of military force was established through his words, his staff selection, his deployment of military assets. A very different approach to prior administrations that tried to buy and talk their way into peace (which clearly did not work). The results (so far, granted) speak for themselves.

As for source... He wrote a book. You're welcome to read the Art of the Deal... Here's a review

https://www.amazon.com/Trump-Art-Deal-Donald-J-ebook/dp/B000SEGE6M/ref=la_B001H6O8M2_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525631627&sr=1-1

>If you want to know why Donald Trump does things it's probably addressed in this book. Without getting too political he's a negotiator and to get what you want when you negotiate you need to ask for a lot more than what you really want because you are going to lose a lot during negotiation. If you start off asking for what you want you'll get almost nothing. It also costs nothing to say something, it only costs to do things (in general.) Even if saying something is only successful one in fifty times, it's still a win for essentially nothing and that adds up.

"The Art of the Deal"... He wrote a book long before he ran. I've been told it is pretty meh and not special for what it is and that the writing in mediocre, but he did write it.
