Mark Simone is a friend of Donald Trump’s. Marks’s been with Trump a hundred times over the 30 years he’s known him: plays golf with him, been out to dinner, banquets, events, business meetings. Trump is not “insane.â€
In fact he’s highly intelligent, reads all the time, is fiercely patriotic, has a great sense of humor, is a gracious host, is quietly generous (paying off the mortgage of a stranger who helped him when his car broke down), is a high achiever and bad ass negotiator.
I find that most people haven’t lifted a finger to learn who the real Donald Trump is. They operate only on what they’ve heard out of the media since he announced his run for president (before that, the media was fine with who Trump was, no charges of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc).
But since the media protects the political status quo and Trump was the outsider, the media and political elite lost their frigging minds with rage and hatred and launched a resistance effort in their News pages and News shows – not cool.
Since I was asked, that’s my take
@BassWrangler. When the people who control the message hate your guts, honest reporting goes out the window.
