Donald Trump Jr. says the presidency would be a 'step down' for dad
« on: October 20, 2016, 07:09:17 am »
(CNN)Donald Trump's eldest son said Wednesday night that his father's unlikely pursuit of the presidency represented a "step down" from the Republican nominee's business career.

"Unlike Hillary Clinton, who's gotten very rich being a politician, peddling American influence, he hasn't -- this is only a step down," Trump Jr. told Fox News following the third and final presidential debate in Las Vegas.
Trump Jr. added that his father wanted to ensure that "all Americans, all ethnicities and backgrounds have the same opportunities to do what he's been able to do" in business.
The candidate's son, who emerged early in the campaign as one his most fierce surrogates, has stumbled repeatedly under the glare of the general election spotlight.
In late September, Trump Jr. set off a minor furor when he compared Syrian refugees to Skittles candy.
"If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you," he tweeted, "Would you take a handful? That's our Syrian refugee problem."

So selling bad steaks through the Sharper Image is more important than the President of the United States?

That's a Trump for you.  Always taking the high ground.

They said the same thing about Baraq Obama in 2008.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Trump's run for the White House isn't about money.  It's about the attention and the 'power' that the presidency would bring him.  The money that he will gain or stands to gain will come afterwards.

So should we start a betting pool on when Trump drops out of the race?  I'm betting on November 4.

Considering he only talked about running for President when the economy was bad, what would his motives be? His casinos closed, fewer people taking vacations, and golf membership down. He will reap the benefits of a booming economy. It had little to do with the best things in life which are free and if you get out of the womb alive.

From your keyboard to God's eyes.  I wish he would but it isn't going to happen.

So being the leader of the free world is a "step down" for Donald Trump?  The whole family suffers from "head up the rump" syndrome.

Little Donny has set the stage for the many excuses that will fly around the world on November 9. Trump didn't lose the election. Nahhh. He just realized being the President would be a demotion. So he will better serve the world as a Reality TV Superstar.

Sure.

Is anyone really naive enough to believe that there is no appeal to being the defacto "leader of the free world"? Anyone?

Alexander the great: Ruling the world was really a step down.
Charlemagne: Ruling the Holy Roman Empire was really a step down.
Napoleon: Attempting to conquer the world was really a step down, was really happier in retirement on Elba....
