Do you feel like you know him?
Trump is a rough around the edges New Jersey boy. He's not a career politician. He's different. Sometimes his comments are off-putting, off-color, but always clarifying. Beyond this there is an incredible amount of confusing charges against him and hatred towards him. But there is also love. It is impossible to know the true origins of all this since he is in the political realm and the opposition is a subtle powerhouse. You can only decide for yourself what's true.
Trump has been in the public eye in his entire adulthood. He was a beloved friend and businessman of New York, Palm beach and on his TV show, The Apprentice. We watched the ebbs and flows and ultimate extraordinary successes of his career.
Once running for President, legal suits and public comments against him abounded. A biased news media and dishonest opposition party took impact. His life was on the line. But Trump fights on. We can't know the entirety of his life, but suits that resulted negatively are under appeal or are stalled. All of the rest have come to nothing and are dropped.
As a husband, father and President the undisputed evidence shows him to be a long-time honorable, loving, loyal family man who is fully committed to America.
