Donald Trump is interesting. Watch this movie about him and Roy Cohn: The Apprentice
-
I find him interesting like I find Al Capone or Jimi Hoffa interesting. This guy operates differently, and has certain surprising successes, like winning the first election, which surprised even him, which is also interesting. I was sure he’d lose that one, he shouldn’t be taken seriously, just like you shouldn’t take WWF seriously as it is entertainment. Ronald Reagan was an entertainer who became our president. That’s my next point btw, that Trump is not like Reagan. I could respect Reagan, but I have to admit I don’t know enough about him to make that judgement with confidence. I know my dad respected him, so I did. I don’t respect Donald Trump – I know enough to say that. I hope he does a good job as our president, but I don’t respect liars (unless it’s some guy lying to the Nazi’s at his door).
Anyway, I think if you learn about Donald Trump, the businessman, you’ll understand his motives and what’s happening a bit better. It has nothing to do with the reality TV show starring DJT. It’s called “The Apprentice” because he’s Roy Cohn’s apprentice. This is another reason I can’t respect DJT – he’s the sort who’d hire a guy like Roy Cohn as his lawyer. Roy Cohn was a prosecutor under Joe McCarthy, who demonized communists in the 1950’s that led to some people being executed. Being a communist is not illegal and is protected under the 1st Amendment. Another reason I can’t respect DJT - Trump is also the sort who might abuse his power, do some extrajudicial acts, use blackmail, like Roy Cohn would.
So, I highly recommend this ‘The Apprentice’ movie. It sheds some light on where Trump came from and what motivates him. I was annoyed with myself because I forgot to show this sign at the “No Kings” protest yesterday, so I’ll show it here. This movie is a bit graphic but educational.
