    Pride and arrogance are two separate things... easily confused by some... but easily differentiated by others.

    I have no problem with that thought, Tom, I am an Australian and that makes me exceptional on any count.

    Yes we regret that your laws don't allow us to give you some top line politicians instead you have to settle for second rate actors and real estate developers

    Trump is only a politician in his dreams. You know that thing I said on the other op about eminent domain theft of someone's land for the publlic good ? He's who I was referring to.

    He doesn't though . He is very much a creation of cronyism;a classical merchantilist

    Free enterprise?? He'd use the power of the Presidency to slap sanctions on China . As I said;he uses the power of government to confiscate real estate ;not for public use as the Constitution allows ;but to build casinos and luxury condominium projects (many of which have been utter failures).

    I was speaking about a Trump future, the future of unfettered free enterprise where the right of everyman to have access to a casino of their choice is protected

    There never has nor ever will be "unfettered " free enterprise.

    Trump is not a proponent of such a system eitherway. He depends on the intervention of the governing authority. A women's home blocks the expansion of a casino parking garage ? No problem .
    Trump Abuses Eminent Domain

    And his political positions shift with the wind.
