Three things that make Donald Trump an honest President

[dude58677]

1) He has never held any public office nor any military background. Only president-elect/president to do so.

2) Won't take a Presidents salary. JFK and Herbert Hoover did this. George Washington considered it.

3) Proposing term limits for Congressman. Ron Paul and Rand Paul proposed this.

So what's wrong with that?

Let's start with he isn't president.

[AuH20]

I don't want honesty. I want vengeance. D.C. is a cesspool and must be purified by any means necessary.

[undergroundrr]

I'll add that Ron Paul served in the military and held public office. Next.

[John F Kennedy III]

1) He has never held any public office nor any military background. Only president-elect/president to do so.

2) Won't take a Presidents salary. JFK and Herbert Hoover did this. George Washington considered it.

3) Proposing term limits for Congressman. Ron Paul and Rand Paul proposed this.

So what's wrong with that?

I don't see how any of the 3 makes him an honest president. In fact it's pretty easy to, by doing your own research, find him taking multiple stances on every issue from when the campaign started until now. I don't know what you want to call that, but here in reality, we sure the $#@! don't call it honest.

How am I wrong?

None of the 3 things listed is about his honesty. All it shows is he may not be as corruptible as most other politicians.

[nikcers]

I don't know why you guys are so mad at this Trump guy.

1.) He never had polio
2.) He won't bite kids
3.) He knows how to take a shower if you know what I mean.

[dude58677]

Ron Paul is the rate exception to that rule but most with that background are lining their pockets while in office.

A Statesman doesn't guarantee a libertarian platform but it is guaranteed to be a sincere platform. Plus it opens up a much larger pool of libertarians to become President instead of only a few in Congress and the Senate. There could be a lot of Ron Paul's out there that we don't know about that never ran for office.

My take is that Trump is the alpha male that was ridiculed by those arrogant liberals and decided to Run for President. Like a smart man, like a great general, he plotted a strategy.
He saw Ron Paul being ignored by the media. He saw how Romney doesn't give a $#@! about Trump or Ron Paul. Trump saw that.
He trial a run in 2012 but because he is smart, he didn't see an opening. It was too soon. After 2012, he plotted some more and registered MAGA brand.
He polled the electorate and came up with immigration, security, obamacare.
He exposed the Media as corrupted shills.
He destroyed the Bushes.
He saw the Light.
He wants to drain the Swamp.
He triggered so many Liberals.
He is an alpha male who wants to write his name in the history books.

He is honest in his desire to do good. His ego requires it.

he said that a vote for Ron Paul would be a wasted vote and that he would run third party if Ron Paul was the nominee because "he doesn't even think in terms of Iran."

I've been looking for a good stain remover. What would you suggest?

[The Gold Standard]

I don't want honesty. I want vengeance. D.C. is a cesspool and must be purified by any means necessary.

I agree. Rudy G. will clean up the mess. Just give him a chance.

[Peace&Freedom]

he said that a vote for Ron Paul would be a wasted vote and that he would run third party if Ron Paul was the nominee because "he doesn't even think in terms of Iran."

Trump was talking strategically, as in he honestly didn't think Ron could have won the election if he got the nomination. Thus given his unelectability (in Trump's opinion), and his "weak" position on Iran, would make voting for him a wasted vote. He was sizing him up as a viable national candidate, not dismissing him as a person. We can disagree with him on the merits, but the point is to keep all the facets of evaluating political candidates in mind, not just the positions.

[dude58677]

Ok that is my point. He is NOT as corruptable. I never said that this is the ultimate goal but we are selling ourselves short by only looking for libertarians in public office. If non-politicians are going to start running for office don't we have a much larger pool to choose from?

Never knew we had so many people on this forum that can channel the actual inner thoughts of Donald Trump.

I hope these Trump savants made good money on the predictions market when he was the longshot.

Uh no, Trump was mad because Ron Paul mocked the idea of Trump moderating the debate would be like a gameshow. The idea was to rig the debate and therefore the primary. Then Trump attacks him for siding with Obama on the Iran deal, the neocon talking point they also attacked rand on. We learned from the wikileaks that the Iran deal was done already and they were just waiting for the ink to dry. Trump's son even said he decided to run for President because of the Iran deal.

[Origanalist]

So what's wrong with that?

[RonPaulwillWin]

Yes, yes, and yes. I still continue to believe that Ron Paul will win. He has in a way, he will always be the person that I look up to and has changed my life. Yes, Trump has some authoritarian leanings, but he was the closest to all candidates on both sides, (with the exception of Rand of course, who was my first pick...it's just not his time, and he is a great asset to the Senate.) The_donald subreddit was powerful, just like these forums were in 2012 and especially 2008, but as most of us have learned, huge rallies and online support doesn't translate a large amount of votes. I had the fuzzy feels on election night, but one thing i've learned is not to get your hopes up, even though I knew Donald was going to win early on in the evening, I was still pessimistic, but I was so devastated with the voting results despite the money bombs, straw polls, fund raising, and memes that we pumped out. It's been 10 years for me. I fought hard for RP, and I still do, ...we have a long way to go, but I think this is a start. This thread brought one of the biggest smiles on my face on election night.

One comment made me chuckle "Donald Trump is Ron Paul's Revenge on the Republican Party"

Listen to this man. 2015 accounts don't have much credibility.

So far, everyone who has bet on Trump succeeding has won yuuuuuge.

And everyone who bet against him is in some stage of mental breakdown right now, including the entirely self-interested barbarian wretches who masquerade as liberty activists.

Trump is helping us destroy the media credibility. The biggest reason why Ron Paul lost. Media Propaganda.
