Looked up Trump last night and read much the same as below sent to me this morning by a friend. Informative. At least he won't be giving away my hard earned money to everyone who asks for it!

Specifications: 

    *   Donald John  Trump, was born June 14, 1946.   

    *   He will be 70  years old on election day.    

    *   From the  Internet, he is 6'2" or 6'3' and weighs between 195 and  200  lbs.   

    *   He has a full  head of blond/brown hair (which is long and elaborately combed) and blue  eyes.

      *   Donald Trump  tells us that he is Presbyterian.    

    *   Donald  Trump  does not appear to have had any interest in occults, mysticism,  or exotic mythologies.   

    *   Donald Trump's  oldest daughter, Ivanka, and her three children are Jewish.   

    *   Trump's oldest  daughter, Ivanka, is married to Jared Kushner who is, among other things, a  newspaper publisher. The Kushner family is very successful in New York City  area real estate.   

    *   Donald's  grandmother, mother, first wife, and third wife are all  immigrants. 

    *   Donald Trump  was born and raised in Queens NY   

    *   Though his  family was very wealthy, Trump's boyhood home in the Jamaica  Estates section of Queens was not a grand mansion. The Trump home was a  larger version of the homes Fred Trump was building for his  tenants.   

    *   There are no  indications that the Trump family lived among the wealthy elites on  vacations or country clubs.   

    *   Queens is the  largest of New York's five boroughs and the most ethnically  diverse.   

    *   Trump attended  a local private day school, the Kew Forrest School, in  Queens until about 8th grade.   

    *   His secondary  schooling was at New York Military  Academy which is about 60 miles north of NYC in Cornwall on  the Hudson. He was the class of 1964.   

    *   Trump was never  a "Preppie".   

    *   Trump never  embraced any aspect of the "Hippie" movement of the  time.   

    *   Trump was  a very good high school athlete - football, soccer, and especially baseball.  He had potential to become a professional baseball  player.   

    *   Even in high  school - Trump liked women and women liked him   

    *   Trump was  generally popular in high school.   

    *   Trump's  boarding school room mate liked him.

    *   At that time,  the Wharton School offered a rare program for Real Estate  Business.    

     *   Though he was  of age, Donald Trump did not serve in Vietnam.   

    *   He was not  drafted due to bone spurs in his heels (4F) and also student  deferments.   

     *   Ultimately, in  the draft lottery, he drew a high number. 

    *By all we know,  Donald Trump does not smoke, drink or use recreational drugs. He'll be the  first President in more than 25 years who hasn't smoked  weed.   

    *   BTW: Trump's  children don't smoke or drink   

    *   Trump makes it  well known that he enjoys sexual interaction with  women.   

    *   I am unaware  that Donald Trump is a recreational gambler.   

    *   His doctor  publicly announced Donald to be in excellent  health.

I  think that to really know Donald Trump, you must know his family  background.  The  Trump family story is a very American story. 

Trump  family history - concise version:

                             

                                 (Omitted here is the fact that Freiderich Drumph returned to Germany after a  time of it in far western Canada and in the Alaska territory during the 1890s.  Some considerable portion of his success came from the operation of tent-brothels, as well as two or three more elegant or ''higher level" hotels.  One of those was an "elegant" brothel.   He returned to Germany with the intention of having his German citizenship reinstated.  These attempts were rebuffed, ostensibly because of his business relationships and activities and / or because of lingering doubts and resentments some German officials may have had concerning the feilty of Drumph.  Many people, especially men of military age,  of the nominally German states of Alsace and Lorraine, chose not to hang around in that overlap-land dividing Germany and France because of the Franco - Prussian War, and the inclination Germany and France had to make war over those lands almost continuously.   There are many other historical and present day matters that have also not been included in the summary below.
     As an interesting aside, among these Alsatians are the forbearers of Harlon Henry Block, born in Weslaco, Texas in 1924, who was one of the Flag-raisers at Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, 20 February, 1945.   Another fairly large settle of Alsace - Lorraine people settled what became a still idyllic community known as Castroville, a very few miles west of San Antonio, back during the Republican Period of Texas.

El Gringo Viejo)

    *   Donald Trump's  grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Alsace (Kallstadt, Germany) which  throughout history has been alternately French and German. The Trumps are  German, originally speaking the same German dialect as the Amish of  Lancaster County, PA.

    *   His maternal  grandparents lived in Scotland.    

    *   Freiderich  (Drumph) Trump made a small but respectable fortune in the late 19th Century  in the mining boom towns o the American Northwest.   

    *   He returned to  Germany to marry his childhood neighbor, Elizabeth  Christ.   

    *   The newly  married Trumps resettled in the Borough of Queens NY    

    *   Freidrich was  establishing a Real Estate business in Queens when he died suddenly at age  49 (1918).   

    *   In 1920, at the  age of 15, Fred Trump (Freiderich's son and Donald's father), started a  business partnership with his widowed mother called Elizabeth Trump and Son.   

    *   This business  was built upon the real estate holdings that his father, Freiderich, had  amassed (worth about $500,000.00 in today's dollars). This is the original  "seed money" of the current Trump  Organization.   

    *   Elizabeth and Fred remained close business partners her entire life (she died in  1966).   

    *   In 1936 Fred  Trump (age 31) married Mary Ann MacLeod (age 24) of Stoneaway,  Scotland.   

    *   During the  depression, Fred Trump built and successfully operated a supermarket (a new  concept at the time) which was sold to King Kullen Co. and  operates this day.   

    *   Fred Trump made  a lot of money building housing for the military during  WWII.    

    *   Fred Trump was  investigated by the Justice Department for making "excessive profits" from  government contracts.   

    *   All (or nearly  all) of the building of Elizabeth Trump and Son's non-government building was residential property in  Queens.   

    *   Fred Trump died  in 1999 (age 94) - beloved and worth between $250 million and $300 million.  His wife died a year later.

   *"The Donald" is the greatest career achiever of the "baby boomer" generation  entertainer,  sports entertainer, Real Estate developer, and currently is a politician.  

    *   Donald Trump  has authored more than 18 books. At least one of them, The Art of the  Deal was a top seller.  

    *   Donald says  that the Holy  Bible is his favorite book. The Art of the  Deal is his 2nd favorite book. And The Power of Positive  Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale is his third favorite  book.

    *   He likes golf.  Donald Trump has developed more than 11 golf courses which bear his  name.   

    *   Donald Trump  has twice been nominated for an Emmy Award   

    *   Donald Trump  has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.   

    *   Donald Trump  has been inducted to the Professional Wrestling Hall of  Fame.   

    *   Donald Trump  has appeared in more than a dozen movies such as Home   Alone 2, Zoolander, and  Little Rascals    

    *   Donald Trump  has been a guest actor in more than 6 TV shows such as Fresh Prince of  Bel Air, Days of Our Lives, Sex and the City, and  others.   

    *   Trump has been  the Executive Producer of 7 TV shows.   

    *   Trump has been  the guest host of 5 TV shows such as Extra, Larry King Live, and  Saturday Night Live and more.   

    *   Donald Trump  has been co-producer of the longest running reality TV  show.   

    *   Donald Trump  performed in several WWE wrestling shows.   

    *   Donald  performed in Wrestlemania 23 which set attendance records and revenue  records up until that time.   

    *   In his first  candidacy for public office, Donald Trump received the most popular votes  for the President of the United States out of a field of experienced  and successful politicians. And in most cases, he achieved this with less  money than any of his opponents. 

     Keeping  in mind that 90% of start-up businesses fail, Trump's record of enterprise is nothing short of amazing.  

Donald  Trump has enjoyed success in at least 11 very different 

enterprises: 

  Professional football, Ice Skating rinks, Fragrance, Ice, Steaks, Wines, Model management, Airline, blenders, Men's wear, Bicycle races, world class beauty contests, and many others. In some of these, such as model management,  his firm has risen to the top of that particular  industry.  

    *   There are 31  buildings that bear his name.   

    *   The largest  private real estate development in New York is Trump Riverside. Drive down the Henry Hudson Blvd; you can't miss them.   

    *   There are at  least 12 Trump Towers   

    *   There are at  least 6 Trump Plazas.   

    *   There are at  least 11 Trump Golf Course developments    

    *   And much, much,  more in real estate.   

    *   Trump  Entertainment, casinos and resorts was recently sold to Carl Ichan.   

    *   Donald Trump's  personal managing of the Wollman Ice Skating Rink project in the early  1980's is the quintessential case study for MBA students in Wharton,  Harvard, and other business schools. His performance there was  phenomenal.   

    *   Donald Trump's  privately held businesses have employed more than 

200,000  people.   

    *   In the casino  business in Atlantic City, Trump had to do business with known mobsters -  and he stayed "clean" and alive.   

    *   Aside from his  personal investments, Donald Trump has never been a Wall Street  "player".

   *The  Political Trump: 

about  1967 - 1987 - Democrat (he was a supporter of Ronald  Reagan) 

1987  - 1999 - Republican 

1999  - 2001 - Reform Party (he supported Ross Perot) 

2001  - 2009 - Democrat 

2009  - 2011 - Republican 

2011  - 2012 - Independent 

2012  - Present - Republican 

Donald  Trump was openly supportive of Mitt Romney's candidacy. 

Donald  Trump does not seem to hold political party organizations in high  regard.  For  the most part, his political involvement has been for practical  reasons. 

Donald  Trump does not appear to be held to political  ideology.

 

Some  of my take aways: 

    *   Trump has an  extraordinarily energetic central nervous system much like Teddy Roosevelt  but more targeted to industry and enterprise.   

    *   Trump's  presidency will be very energetic, transparent, and  communicative.   

    *   Trump will be a  very hard working President.   

    *   His interaction  with his older brother (who everybody loved) tells me that he thinks that  everybody is like him - or wants to be - or should  be.   

    *   His  relationship with his older brother was a hard lesson in tolerance for  him.   

    *   Trump is the  Babe Ruth of career achievements.    

    *   He is dumb like  a fox. When you think he just said something stupid - he didn't. It's just  that you were not his target audience.   

    *   Trump knows the  people - "the folks".   

    *   His son, Donald  Jr. is right: "Trump is a "Blue Collar  

Billionaire".   

    *   More than  anything, his TV show, The  Apprentice, was his passion. 

He wants all Americans to have  confidence (like he does) to venture.   

    *   Donald Trump is  attracted to and marries smart, high achieving  

women.   

    *   The highest  levels of a Trump Administration is certain to have 

many women - and they  will be bright and assertive.   

    *   Donald Trump's  children are very important to him. And it shows.

PS.   Yes, we know nothing of our current president with 2 terms in office.

The following commentary is from El Gringo Viejo:

     While much of the above is salient and perhaps a rigorous prefabrication of fact, truth, and the American way, there are certain un-stated negatives, certain genealogical "hop-scotch" so to speak in the above cotillion announcement.  There are also value judgements and personal evaluations that could be debated in beauty parlours, barber shoppes, and saloons from now until the sun sets in the East.

     For instance, one might argue that any voter who could fall the argument that he/she should vote for Trump because of what Trump said, of course, has a problem.   Trump, at times and even frequently, contradicts what he has said in the next sentence, on the next day, or with a declarative denial that he ever said such a thing.   Such "forgetfulness" and/or "reasoning" should...let us say...at least give a voter pause.

     Any voter who could buy into a campaign slogan such as "Make American Great Again!" might possibly be stiffened in his resolve with a battle cry such as "Remember Whatever....or not....again!!!"   It is worth noting that something like 10 to 15 per cent of those who voted for Barry Soetoro seemed to like that inspiring call to action of "Hope and Change" and now believe in Mr. Trump's platform or solutions.

    Considering that neither "MAGA" nor "H and C" have any meaning without lengthy definition says more about the critical reasoning ability of the voter than even the candidates from which such inspiration flowed.  Perhaps we err in that manner ourselves when we hasten to state that we are amazed at times at the number of people we know to be intelligent and discerning who are convinced on some level or another that Trump is worth voting for.

We place this Rally Sheet before our public, in any regard,  for consideration as food for thought.

South America

        410,932,389    /  415,053,269

      It is a scene akin to Pompeii, or perhaps a combination of Hiroshima and Dresden in 1946, and south Chicago, with two cups of blended brains of Nancy Pelosi.  Three of the top four names on this list of South American nations, Brazil / Argentina / Colombia are in veritable shambles.   They have been reduced, after several years of rule by marxist demagogues, to crumbling reminders of the decay of Cuba during the past 50 years.

     Mrs. Fernandez de Kirchner used her two terms to drag Argentina, predictably, into a morass of currency collapse, coupled with massive inflation, steady deterioration of public facilities, pointless lectures and blame casting, demonization of the productive sectors, and general corruption.  Argentina was number three in the Americas in 1960, behind places with funny names like The United States of America, and the Dominion of Canada of Her Majesty's Commonwealth.  The Republic of Cuba followed Argentina in an near tie for that third place position.
     We are speaking not so much in gross national product terms, but rather in the level of general education, per capita income, medical availability and practice, consumer and product availability and quality.   Now Argentina speeded up its decline to presently find itself well down on the list, as does Cuba, Haiti, and others of the workers' paradises so ardently hoped for by Bernie's and (Sir Edmund) Hillary's zombiecrats.
     It is well to remember that the La Sen~ora Cristina Fernandez was a member of the marxist guerrilla (preceding word pronounced gae - REE - yah ) known as "Los Monteros.  That group was a 1st cousin to the Sendero Luminoso and the visions of Ernesto (Che') Guevara  in "her time", but reformed to "work within the system" (sedicion en ves de guerra {sedition instead of war}).  Working "within the system" was never anything more than a phrase to Cristina....a girl with a German grandmother with the name of Wilhelm.   She was another of the white leftists who abound in the New World who feel compelled to save the masses with free food, housing, medicine, in return for servile servitude and worship.

     One dirty secret, do not tell anybody, but Barry, and (Sir Edmund)Corkscrew, and even Bernie the Pinko all want what Cristina wants.....access to wealth by taxation....not just to high wages...but wealth.   The labouring classes who happened to have set-aside pensions similar to 401s and State Employees' Pension plans etc., learned and could not believe it was true.  But there were active plans, and implementation was beginning with the preparation of legislation in the lap-dog Congress to begin a taxation.  That levy would be of instruments, certificates of deposit, savings accounts, bonds of medium and long term, foreign "insertions" and deposits, precious metals and jewels, collections of paintings and firearms and antiques and properties and the like.  In short, take from the rich and give to the politicians to buy votes with other people money and property.
     The problem is that many union workers learned fairly quickly that they were part of the "rich".   Frequently a long-term worker might find that he/she might have 53,000 +/- USD on deposit in a pension fund that is titled in his/her name....as it should be. That is the was of the  Texas State Employees and Texas State Teachers' and Education Employees' Retirement System.   It should be done this way, and not as the American style Social Security System Ponzi-scheme.
      But, fear not!   Cristina only seemed to want something "reasonable" like four per cent per annum.   But, fear....and be very afraid!   Cristina had become frumpy and damaged in the cranium, apparently (sound familiar?...with a name that rhymes with 'Billary'?) She thought she was the re-appearance of Evita and the people would love her forever and drown her plumed and ribboned black horses drawing the black and glazed carriage with her silver coffin with roses thrown of a thousand colours by the adoring masses.    But not so much.   Even the downtrodden labouring masses came to hate Cristina.....not Evita....but Cristina.
     Where does sin, avarice, self-indulgence, and greed end and Shirly Temple begin?  Cristina wanted the people's money, and Evita wanted to be gazed upon and cherished.  Both were deranged, and if forced, were I to be an Argentine, to choose one or the other....it would be Evita.  All of them...Jane Fonda, Frida Kahlo, Barbra Streisand and a thousand other thrippets who think they are the first ones to worry about the poor and peace....who pretend to equality to that poor, self-deluded girl....Evita....are not qualified to drink muddy water from her slipper.   Hillary care about "the poor"?   Can we be very serious for a moment?

_____________________________ 

    Now, comes Venezuela.  The weeping masses, learning of the death of Father Hugo Chavez, the military dictator of Venezuela who gave so that the masses could have.   They wailed and bewailed when he died of all kinds of 'social' diseases.   He went for treatment to Cuba, because Cuba has the best medical system in the world, and it's all "FREE".  There were even thrashing and gnashing of teeth in the streets among the professionally poor in the streets of Caracas when Saint Hugo died.....people howling, "Who is going to take care of me????  Oh! Who will give me what I need?"   It was a beautiful send-off to a jerk who knew that there are enough people who are stupid and ignorant enough to believe in the phrases, "Hope and Change" and "A cada quien lo que necesita! (to each what he/she needs)."

   The political godfather of the present president was Hugo Chavez, a totally deranged egomaniac.   Hugo's successor, Nicolas Maduro, is equally deranged, not quite as smart, and pitifully unskilled in the arts and science of governance.   Within two years since the demise of Chavez, Maduro has managed to give away all hope of normalisation of the economy or society.   In short, things were desperate because of Chavez's "print and spend" economic philosophy, coupled with his continuing harassment of the productive sector.  When the price of oil fell, Maduro became a useless Nero presiding over a country in total ruin.
     Food riots....can the OROG imagine a food riot in Venezuela...basic supplies, toilet paper, pampers, canned goods, even tropical fruit and vegetables, even fish and shellfish....unavailable.  But, the blame, as is the case with all marxists, is laid at the feet of the businesses and persons who provided what once was a bounty of food, drink, and product.   Venezuelan currency is all but worthless at this point.  People have turned to using deposit-bearing soft drink bottles as a form of currency in rural areas, in lieu of bolivares.
     Food and currency and banking and supply riots, along with daily (and day long) demonstrations by people who grew accustomed to Chavez's largess, still want their free ride, and they want it now!   Oddly, this time they are blaming Maduro, and not the "rich people".

     In Venezuela, a military take-over should be anticipated and is probably necessary by this point.

      As far as Brazil is concerned, this story is terribly and boringly complicated.  Thankfully, it can be closed, at least temporarily, with the knowledge that Dilma Rousseau has been impeached, and like her sister-in-crime, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, she is being convicted and further charged with all nature of massive fraud, theft, and misrepresentations.   She has been removed from office.
   Rousseau, Fernandez de Kirchner, and Maduro....all phoneys, all marxists, and hopefully all washed up. 

More later.
