Am women love Donald Trump

[Bonobo]

Just read a funny article about Am conservative women who are fascinated by Donald Trump.

Jeanne, are you one of them??

Donald Trump does not like to be interrupted. He banishes protesters from his rallies; a woman in a hijab garnered international prominence when she was removed from a campaign event earlier this month.

But there are exceptions to his rule. One morning this week, as a pack of Iowans gazed at the mogul-for-president without much wondering whether Sarah Palin would pop up next to him, Trump’s remarks on polling and winning and being “greedy for America” got cut off by the crowd – twice.

A woman near the stage was wearing his now trademark hat – bearing that slogan, “Make America Great Again” – which caught the attention of the candidate. Trump said he loved it, and she shouted: “I love you!”

Then there was the woman toward the back of the curtain-draped room in the corn-country suburb. This first-in-the-nation caucus state must be getting sick of him, Trump joked from behind his dais. “No!” the woman screamed out. “We love you!”

Trump grinned a toothy grin – this is the kind of interjection he likes, certainly more than the chants of “a vote for Trump is a vote for hate” that he was getting at a rally the previous evening.

For a macho candidate whose presidential pitch to female voters often amounts to “I love women”, Trumpophilia has set in with a shocking number of conservative women across this crucial bellwether, as his prospects for claiming the inaugural prize of the Republican nomination fight have climbed ever upward.
Donald Trump and Sarah Palin: a liberal nightmare come true – or a stage act?

This despite Trump having openly insulted the looks of his party’s sole female contender, Carly Fiorina, the weight of Rosie O’Donnell, and the menstrual cycle of the Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, and suggested Hillary Clinton got “schlonged” in her 2008 Democratic primary loss to Barack Obama – to begin a long list of misogynist moments on the trail.

If Trump is indeed gaffe-proof, it is not just the laws of politics that no longer conform in this year’s campaign but the landscape of gender: women of America, are you so entertained that you are not offended?

The Guardian conducted interviews this week with 18 women at four Trump events over 48 hours, including one hosted by John Wayne’s daughter and another where Palin was unveiled as the magnate’s new sidekick. The female supporters – including undecided voters – expressed views consistent with what the former vice-presidential candidate and the billionaire frontrunner agreed is nothing less than a “movement”: anti-establishment, unapologetic and, it turns out, gender-neutral. Not one mentioned that she was turned off by his anti-women remarks.

I have one word to say in answer to that question...NO!!!

[crazyhorse1]

I believe that Trumps popularity is due to his forcing the candidates to address subjects that most Americans want discussed but politicians are reluctant to speak on.

I don't think he would make a good president, but he is forcing the other candidates to talk about illegal immigration, the economy, ISIS, Eastern Europe, terrorism and corporate campaign contributions.

Oh, I see.

However, I don`t understand this issue of Eastern Europe. You probably meant European Union and its relations with US.

But why???

You are a bit conservative (you have Polish genes and RCC denomination). You are American (you were born in one of Am states). You are a woman (you bore children).

What is wrong?

Do you mean you don`t like guys in wigs?

Donald Trump is running for the office of President of the United States. It is an office that should garner respect both in our country and around the world. To word this diplomatically...Donald Trump does not have the temperament needed in that position due to his crass manner of speaking and his verbal personal attacks against people with whom he is in disagreement. Instead of thoughtfully responding, he often replies thoughtlessly and aggressively for the mere shock-value of his answers!

And by the way, his hair is for real...not a wig. No self-respecting wig-maker would produce a wig that would look like that! (Prior to this presidential campaign, I saw a news piece about a woman who had won some contest in which the prize was being able to feel Donald's hair and determine if it was for real. She reported that it is! )

In mentioning "Eastern Europe" I was referring to the Ukraine / Russian situation. Most Americans don't want to see Russia dominate the Eastern European countries as they did in previous (USSR) years. We don't wish to see another "Iron Curtain."

I don`t understand you. Why are you so critical? Can`t the most powerful democratic country in the world put forward a candidate who doesn`t remind of, as you said, a turd? One who might be called a true leader? One who is able to garner respect even of political opponents thanks to her/his honest behaviour? I don`t believe it.....

Oops, I completely forgot. I thought such trivial matters are not topics in US presidential campaigns. I suppose the vast majority in US don`t care if there is or isn`t another Iron Curtain.

The Ukraine situation is a very prominent subject in the US. Our military people are very much concerned and I would suspect making plans to counter any further takeovers by the Russians. We know that Putin would very much like to re-establish a "Soviet Union", and we realize that this incursion into Ukraine is his initial toe hold.
Also, there is no doubt that Poland would most likely be his next attempt at a takeover. It must never be permitted. All of Europe would be at stake once again.

That`s nice but let`s get real - US has no means to support Ukraine in case of hard crisis.

Tomek,

As an American, let me just say that I am very sure there is no Polish politician, or a politician of ANY nationality who is anything like Trump. And, until he decided to run for the presidency this year, he was NEVER a politician, but a very successful businessman (in other words he made a lot of money...). That he is not a politician is part of his appeal to the people who support him.

You are correct, but allow me to elaborate to some degree. I and many of the people I interact with are very much tired of career politicians. Once elected it seems they are given a pass for life. And a lot of their children follow in their footsteps, not necessarily on their own merit but simply because they are the sons of the politician and get favoritism.

I and many other folks I know believe that our founding fathers never meant for our legislators to be career politicians. We have term limitations (two terms) for our President as well as our Vice President. Why not the same kind of limitations for our Congressmen and Senators???

Trump may not be the greatest of political minds, but he appears to many a much needed change in Washington.

Dear friends,


Ann Coulter endorses Donald Trump

I repeat I am not a Trump supporter, but I find it fascinating what he is doing in American politics as an outsider who entered the Republican presidential race. As a student I read a book about his way of doing Real estate business in New York and it was a very interesting book. I learned something from it. Why does Trump has a chance? He has a chance, because he is not a typical republican, and because he has gained a Republican support base of hard core conservatives like Ann Coulter, a conservative social and political commentator, writer, syndicated columnist, and lawyer, and a calvinist protestant christian like Trump. Both are Presbyterian. I know that Presbyterianism is a specific branch of Calvinism which comes from the the British Isles. But maybe Trumps and Coulters Presbyterianism comes closer in the direction of the Dutch Reformed Calvinism than the Roman-Catholic Church, the Evangelicals, Baptists, Lutherans and Eastern-Orthodox churches. In the Netherlands we make a clear distinction between the Reformatorian Protestant denominations and the Evangelical (Born again, New Protestant, Pentecostalist) denominations. In the American (US) perspective in the Netherlands the Reformatorian Protestant denominations are the strongest. If the USA would be like the Netherlands the Presbyterian churches would be the largest churches and would dominate.

Calvinism spread into England, Scotland, France, the Netherlands, the English-speaking colonies of North America (The USA and Canada), South-Africa and parts of Germany and central Europe (especially Hungary).

So from that perspective I understand Donald Trump very well. Trump comes from the Calvinist Capitalist tradition. As a Dutchman I think I understand a tiny little bit from the American Donald Trump. He has elements of the old Dutch merchant, the Colonial Dutch who founded their West Indies Company and East Indies Company (the first lagere Capitalist corporations), the Calvinist Reverend, and the new Dutch populist leader (He reminds me in some ways about Pim Fortuyn and Geert Wilders. Both were and are very popular by certain segments of the Dutch electorate and masses - like Trump they gained support and votes from left, right and centre-, like Trump they were and are unusual leaders, and like Trump they received and receive a lot of resentment from both the liberal and conservative side, and like Trump these guys were and are self made men-). Donald Trump is fed up with political correctness and says frankly that the USA is a christian nation and that Americans should be able to say Merry Christman and put sings on their shops saying that.






Pim Fortuyn


Geert Wilders

Like Donald Trump Pim Fortuyn and Geert Wilders were and are not politicial correct, direct, blunt, sometimes embarrassingly upfront, populistic, anti-establishment (Fortuyn and Wilders were and are against the political elite in the Hague, like Trump bashes the political elite and Washington establishment of both the Democrats and Republicans), anti-immigration, critical towards Islam and considered a threat or dangerous by their oponents. Pim Fortuyn paid with his life for his conviction and Geert Wilders is guarded 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. And that for more than 10 years. I wasn't a Fortuyn supporter, I am not a Wilders supporter and I am not a Trump supporter, but from a political historical point of view, from a political development point of view I find these presidential elections very interesting. It are the most important elections in the USA since decades. Like the United States presidential election, 1960, with John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.

Usury and capitalism


John Calvin (10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564)

One school of thought attributes Calvinism with setting the stage for the later development of capitalism in northern Europe. In this view, elements of Calvinism represented a revolt against the medieval condemnation of usury and, implicitly, of profit in general. Such a connection was advanced in influential works by R. H. Tawney (1880–1962) and by Max Weber (1864–1920).

Calvin expressed himself on usury in a 1545 letter to a friend, Claude de Sachin, in which he criticized the use of certain passages of scripture invoked by people opposed to the charging of interest. He reinterpreted some of these passages, and suggested that others of them had been rendered irrelevant by changed conditions. He also dismissed the argument (based upon the writings of Aristotle) that it is wrong to charge interest for money because money itself is barren. He said that the walls and the roof of a house are barren, too, but it is permissible to charge someone for allowing him to use them. In the same way, money can be made fruitful.

He qualified his view, however, by saying that money should be lent to people in dire need without hope of interest, while a modest interest rate of 5% should be permitted in relation to other borrowers.


Donald Trump



Donald Trump (born in New York in 1946) and raised there is a real estate CEO (1971–present), with investments in New York, Florida, and several other states and countries. He is an author (1987–present) and television personality (2003–2015). Trump first ran for President of the United States in 2000, winning two Reform Party primaries. On June 16, 2015, Trump announced his decision to run again for President, this time as a Republican, before winning the New Hampshire primary with 35%, the South Carolina primary with 33%, and the Nevada caucus with 46% of the votes. On Super Tuesday, Trump won Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Alabama, Arkansas, and Vermont, solidifying his status as the Republican frontrunner.

Religious views

Trump is a Presbyterian. In an April 2011 interview on the 700 Club, he commented: "I'm a Protestant, I'm a Presbyterian. And you know I've had a good relationship with the church over the years. I think religion is a wonderful thing. I think my religion is a wonderful religion." Trump told a 2015 South Carolina campaign audience he joined the Marble Collegiate Church, where he married his first wife Ivana in 1977. The church has said he is "not an active member". The Marble Collegiate Church has Dutch Reformed Calvinist roots and is connected to the Dutch Calvinist settlers in America. The church congregation was founded in 1628 as the Collegiate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church and was affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church, a Calvinist church in the Netherlands.

In 1983, the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale, described in a New York Times profile as Trump's "pastor" and "family minister", said that Trump was "kindly and courteous in certain business negotiations and has a profound streak of honest humility." Trump calls his own book The Art of the Deal (1987) "my second favorite book of all time", and has told campaign audiences: "Do you know what my first is? The Bible! Nothing beats the Bible." Declining to name his favorite Bible verse, Trump said "I don't like giving that out to people that you hardly know."

Trump has said that, while he participates in Holy Communion, he has not asked God for forgiveness for his sins. He says: "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture."

Trump has praised and maintains relationships with several prominent national evangelical and Christian leaders, including Tony Perkins and Ralph Reed. During his 2016 presidential campaign, he received a blessing from Greek Orthodox priest Emmanuel Lemelson.

Pope Francis, however, claimed that Trump's views on immigration are contrary to Christian teachings: "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not about building bridges, is not a true Christian. This is not in the Gospel", the Pope replied to a reporter's questions about Trump, adding "we must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt." Trump called the Pope's criticism "disgraceful" and suggested the Mexican government was "using the Pope as a pawn" for political purposes, "because they want to continue to rip off the United States". Trump said that "if and when" ISIS attacks the Vatican, the Pope would have "wished and prayed" Trump were President because such an attack would not have happened.

Trump also has ties to the Jewish American community. Asked in 2015 at an Algemeiner Journal awards ceremony honoring him with the Algemeiner Liberty Award, about having Jewish grandchildren, Trump said: "Not only do I have Jewish grandchildren, I have a Jewish daughter (Ivanka, who converted to Judaism before her marriage to Jared Kushner) and I am very honored by that … it wasn't in the plan but I am very glad it happened."





In Calvinist christianity the Old Testament, Israel as the Holy Land, anf the Jews as the Chosen People of the Bible, Israel and Judaism plays an important role. Calvinist christrians in the Netherlands, from the fundamentalist theocratic SGP party to the more moderate ChristianUnion and the Christian democratic CDA are very pro-Israel. And also Calvinist Protestant christians from other politcical parties like the VVD, PVV and Labour tent to be pro-Israel. So you could compare the stance of Calvinist and Presbyterian christians to that of the American Evangelicals. I think that is one of the reasons Trump can get along very well with Evangelicals and jews in the USA.

I have to say that your idea of religion being a factor in "The Donald's" business decisions or any other aspect of his political life is entirely off base.

Donald worships money and power....not necessarily in that order. Your assumptions that religion factors into Donald's decisions is completely off base. That may well be the way the Dutch operate. but here in the United States of America it's quite different.

I do agree that there is a definite need for change in Washington, so I do understand Trump's appeal to a certain degree. It's all the other "baggage" of his abrasive personality he brings along that turns me off. A man who is running for the highest office in our country should at least know how to be respectful to others...his inability to do so could have dire consequences when dealing with leaders on the international scene.

Dear Crazyhorse1,

I am just a simple and ignorant Dutchman. What do we know about the North-American reality in general and the US reality in particular? Very little Crazyhorse1. The European view and opinion of the USA is shaped by Hollywood movies, sitcoms, American comedies, CNN, Fox News, CBSN (CBS news), CNN International, Fox News Channel, Bloomberg television and CNBC.

And maybe some English reading and American oriented people might buy and read the New York Times, Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News or the World Report?

I buy and read Foreign Affairs and the New York Times every now and than and ejoy watching CNN and Fox news. I know that they don't represent the average American citizen, and I know they are biased. I watch CNN for the liberal view and Fox for the conservative view. But I also search youtube, blogs and the internet (Google) for leftwing, rigtwing and centrist American views.

I knew the Donald Trump is a businessman with a nouveau riche lifestyle, taste for bling bling, grandeur (showing off his wealth) and that he is not the most pious Calvinist Protestant christian there is. But he has his German and Scottish genetic heritage (dna) and very American way of living, life style and convictions. His conservatism is American, his populism is American, his capitalism is American and his lightweight christianity is American. Like his other politicalk and commercial views he tries to market and capitalize his own christianity.

Is Trump's Wife a Mail Order Bride?





Melanija Knavs, was born in 1970 in Yugoslavia, now know as Slovenia. Knavs studied design and architecture at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. She then worked as a model for fashion houses in Milan and Paris before relocating to New York City in 1996.



After moving to New York City , Knavs supposedly met Donald Trump at a Fashion Week party in New York City in September 1998. Their relationship gained attention after a 1999 interview on The Howard Stern Show, and additional publicity after the 2004 launch of Trump's successful business-oriented reality television show, The Apprentice. Donald Trump described their long courtship in 2005: "We literally have never had an argument, forget about the word 'fight' . We just are very compatible. We get along."

After becoming engaged in 2004, Donald Trump and Melania Knavs were married on January 22, 2005, at The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, followed by a reception in the 17,000-sq.-ft ballroom at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.



Trump has always stated he met his wife Melanija at a fashion week party in 1998. But Anna Novak a matchmaker who operated an office in Slovenia for several "Mail Order Bride" companies, including a company called A Foreign Affair, says she received a call sometime around 1995 from the head office to help arrange a call between a female member Melanija, and A VIP client she only knew as Donald. Shortly after the call, Melanija asked to be removed as a member and to have her profile completely removed from the websites.



If this was truly "The Donald" and the "Melanija" then why the secrecy? Trump was married at the time, even when they met each at the Fashion Week party. It is not a secret that Trump has had a long history of infidelity, When married to his first wife, Czech model Ivana Zelní Ková, he had an affair with actress Marla Maples, In 1992 Ivana's and Donald's divorce was finalized, shortly thereafter Donald sued Ivana for $25 million, alleging she was not honoring a gag clause in their divorce agreement by disclosing facts about him. Maples and Donald were married the following year after his first divorce on December 20, 1993. The couple's divorce finalized in June 1999, nearly one year after the Fashion Week party where supposedly Donald met Melanija for the first time.



A spoke's person for A Foreign Affair' in Phoenix AZ, says. "We have a strict confidentiality policy so we can not make any comments about any member or client." They did admit they do help many rich and or famous clients find love overseas.

Today I heard a funny comment on the radio.

Despite such sweet propaganda, www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/02/trump_is_winning_the_guy_you_d_want_to_have_a_beer_with_election.html

Trump isn`t liked by most Americans (even his own voters) who wouldn`t really like to have a beer with him because:
-He would demand you pay for the beer afterwards
-He might also try to lay you wife/girlfriend.

Many of his voters are voting for him in hopes Hillary won't be elected...

I can't believe we Americans are in the position of having to choose between these two less-than-perfect ('WAY less-than-perfect) candidates!

Yes, isn`t it funny? The same things happen in Poland, USA and other countries. We are a global village indeed.

Didn't we talk in another thread about not knowing whether to laugh or to weep? It applies in this case!
