The years I lived in NY I saw a much different Trump, one who was charitable and civic minded and exactly the opposite of what he's been accused of and called since he ran, and subsequently beat, Hillary in November 2016.

I knew, long before he announced his candidacy, a few people who worked for him, including minorities, who adored the man as an employer and saw him do things for the city, like the Central Park skating rink project, and for black youth in the inner city that actually won him praise and gratitude from the same black Democrats who now follow the bogus party line and call him a "r****t."

As far as his actions as a businessman go, it's amazing how much mileage can be achieved in either direction (pro/con) when the mainstream media chooses a side and expertly shapes their reporting to tell only one side of a story with the appropriate degree of embellishment.

The same NY Democrats who were his friends, who had nothing but good and positive things to say about him prior to his presidencial run did an about face in a big hurry after the evening he announced that he was running.

As far as his "ripping off" contractors, no one on the left ever seems to inquire as to their degrees of contract fulfillment or quality of work on a project or, for that matter, the circumstances prompting various of his business decisions.

As POTUS, he is the first one in my lifetime to actually fight hard to deliver on his every campaign promise, often a hard uphill battle against "just because," purely politics based obstruction by the Democratic Party, even on issues they were totally for until he was for them.

Then there's the fact that anyone as big as Trump became in New York real estate development is going to make a few enemies among politicians. A perfect example is the corrupt and vindictive Jerry Noodler Nadler, with whom Trump had a disagreement years ago over a large and visionary development project and, though suffering setbacks in the original plans, negotiated a little more successfully than The Noodle liked -- now the career politician is attempting to initiate impeachment proceedings based on zero impeachable evidence.

Meanwhile, President Trump has done a hell of a lot more for millions of middle class people than for "the rich," including doubling the standard deduction while capping the amount of city/state tax "the rich" can deduct from their federal returns. No matter what "for the rich" rhetoric the Democrats want to attach to his corporate tax cuts, they have brought needed jobs back to America while increasing the competitiveness of U.S. companies in global trade (under his predecessor, we had the highest corporate tax rates in the world).

It's extremely irksome to me as an American that one of our two major political parties and its adherents can be so callous in their politics that they would consider anything that creates jobs and gets Americans off pitiful government pittances as anything less than the single greatest priority there is for our government, and thanks to Trump's tax cuts, unemployment is at its lowest since the early Clinton years and at its historical low for minorities.

I won't even go into how refreshing it is to have a president for a change who puts America and Americans first in all things and stands up to our enemies and to so-called "friends" who take advantage of us.

So, all the anti-Trump rhetoric aside, "He da man!"
