Is Trump a Democrat After All?

Is Trump a secret Democrat?

Here's what Andrew Breitbart had to say about Trump:

“…Of course, he’s not a conservative. He was for Nancy Pelosi, before he was against Nancy Pelosi…celebrity is everything in this country if these guys don’t learn how to play the media the way Barack Obama played the media last e******n cycle and the way that Donald Trump is playing the e******n cycle–we’re going to probably get a celebrity candidate.

Trump is a friend of Nancy Pelosi

Indeed, Trump did call Pelosi “the best” (via Politico):
Donald Trump sent Nancy Pelosi warm wishes when she was sworn in as House Speaker in January 2007, praising her as "the best" in a personal note. Trump penned the note on a copy of a New York Times article that chronicled Pelosi's swearing-in, and wrote, "Nancy — you're the best. Congrats. Donald," according to sources familiar with the missive. Trump confirmed to POLITICO he wrote the note, but said it was "because I want her to do great, and I want this country to be great, and I [didn't] want her to fail as Speaker. And I like her. I met her a number of times and I liked her,” he added. “And I really want her and everybody in office to do great. so because of the fact that I met her a number of times and really liked her, and then she became Speaker, I sent her a note. And I wanted her, and I continue to want her and everybody else in office, to do great for the country. ... I get along with everybody. I'm very proud of that. I get along with all of these people. Some I get along with better.”

He wrapped up an interview by saying: "When I send Nancy a letter, I want her to do a great job for the country, not for her party. OK, honey?"

Yet, it goes beyond thinking Pelosi is “great,” as Marc Thiessen wrote in the Washington Post in June. The Donald has given Democrats more than $100,000 to their respective House and Senate races. He gave $25,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee; his son Donald Jr. gave $22,500 to Democrats that same year, Thiessen wrote. Republicans only got $1,000 that year, which led to a Democratic landslide, and Obamacare being rammed through.

In other words, Trump wanted Nancy Pelosi to be speaker of the House and Harry Reid the Senate majority leader.

Which is not surprising. At the time he made those contributions, from August 2001 to September 2009, Trump was a registered Democrat. (He had been registered in New York first as a Republican, then a member of the Independence Party, then a Democrat, then a Republican again, and then became unaffiliated.)

So maybe he came to regret it after Reid and Pelosi rammed through Obamacare? Apparently not. In 2010 — immediately after the passage of Obamacare — Trump continued to donate to Reid. Trump has donated at least $10,400 to Reid, including $4,800 for his 2010 race against Sharron Angle — a victory that helped keep the Senate in Democratic hands and Reid as majority leader. So Trump continued to support Reid as majority leader in the e******n immediately after the passage of Obamacare.

Trump also gave $50,000 to another Obamacare architect, Rahm Emanuel — the former Obama White House chief of staff — for his campaign to become mayor of Chicago. He gave $5,500 to John Kerry and $7,000 to the late liberal icon of the Senate, Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.). Other Democrats who have benefited from Trump’s largesse include Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), Sen. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.), Rep. Charlie Rangel (N.Y.) and Sen. Hillary Clinton (N.Y.). He gave at least $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. He certainly seems to like New York Democrats.

So, what do you think?

Trump is a pragmatic opportunist. He has allegiance to wh**ever and whomever can enhance the bottom line of his business endeavors. He is expert at reading the tea leaves or the handwriting on the wall and the time was right for a Republican recapture of the reins of power; he immediately aligned himself with the coming power cabal. It doesn't matter what party he is affiliated with, his agenda sounded the tocsin needed for our times. If he accomplishes the significant portions of his promises, the nation will be better off and I for one wouldn't care if he was the Martian Liberation Party candidate.

I agree.

And I would add that in order to be an effective president, he must be both democrat and republican.

He was already a master in the art of the deal and thus quite capable of interacting and utilizing his sk**ls in a bipartisan manner.

This recent deal is proof of his ability to cross the lines and find common ground.

Who knows, maybe he will even find a way to get some clean diapers on all of our OPP lefties who continue to wallow, whine and cry in their soiled Pampers.

He is fiscal conservative businessman. He's not a politician, so don't put a political label on him. And, BTW: don't believe anything politico says.

===================
President Trump is not a democrat. If he is, he becomes t*****r to his own people who elected him to power. He is aware of that.

President Trump has been successful in deal making. He ensures that in order to achieve his mission, he moves forward to the center to get the support of the opposing party. Without doing that nothing could be achieved, when the other party has 180 degree variance from his agenda. That is part of being an effective leader. To provide a win-win situation to accomplish something vital to the needs of our country.

Because the rhino GOP's refuse to support him, he finds other measures to get results, promised to the American people. We may not get 100% of what was promised, but that is better than nothing at all. Time to move on.

Trump's single greatest asset is that he was not Hillary Clinton. Trump has no "people", he was reviled by Democrats and Republican old guards as well. His message was populist and appealed to the non urban citizens in flyover country. Those supporters were under no illusion that Trump was anything other than an opportunist outsider who promised what the nation wanted to hear. The politically correct establishment was too busy hedging their positions to understand they had no position other than status quo.

Further, his plans, except for increasing expenditures were doable, it takes a few strokes of the pen to remove onerous executive orders and he has done that to a fare-thee-well. Trump's willingness to compromise with Democrats is not a betrayal unless he gives away the store and gets nothing in return. As long as his agenda is being accomplished no one cares about his label.

Well said. Political establishment will never understand how to produce results. But president Trump does. We the people understand that. Except the liberals, democrats, their armies of MSM, and the GOP rhinos, who endlessly hope for his demise. That is not going to happen.
