Decency or honesty.

It should at least buy honesty, and being a rich man from birth, he shouldn't cheat his contractors and subs since he already had wealth.

others to survive.
But it's a good question, and I think cheating and disregard for others is the core of the "Family Values" his parents passed on to him, possibly by demonstration.

You have no idea when to keep your mouth shut , or at least have something rational to say?

With one tweet, you have created the possibility of division for another fifty years.

Does the fact Trump's reach hopefully exceeds his grasp obviate the comparison ?


We democratically elected a bad man. In light of that I am recalibrating my outrage meter.
