Donald Trump speaking at his father's funeral. And when Donald Trump spoke, as Gwenda Blair recounts in her multigenerational history of the Trump family, the focus quickly shifted from the man in the coffin to the one at the lectern, and the tenor of the occasion changed from eulogistic to solipsistic. To Donald Trump, the single most praiseworthy thing about his father was that he had always believed in Donald, whether it was Trump Tower or Trump Plaza or Trump Castle or the Trump Taj Mahal he happened to be working on. ''At his own father's funeral, he did not stop patting himself on the back and promoting himself,'' Blair writes. ''The first person singular pronouns, the I and me and my, eclipsed the he and his. . . . There was to be no sorrow; there was only success.'' It was, she writes, an ''astonishing display of self-absorption.'
THE TRUMPS
Three Generations That Built an Empire.
By Gwenda Blair.

Trump is actually a liberal Democrat and his aim is to make the Republican brand so toxic that they'll be out of power for a generation. If so he's doing a good job. | The following 2 users would like to thank Rob for this useful post: | |

Well now Trump has time to invent an immediate threat to the USA just like they did in going to war with Iraq.

Trump really is special. In July 2012 he tweeted that Obama was issuing executive orders in a "power grab". Now he has already signed more than any other president in the first two weeks - who's grabbing power? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7573316.html | The following 3 users would like to thank nigelr for this useful post: | |

Comments from Canada thus far: “Dear Mr. Trump: Rather than appoint Sarah Palin as ambassador to Canada, please bomb us.

For the first time, US investigators say they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent, about Russian intervention in the US election.
So far nothing dramatic, just that some of the dates, locations and times of telephone conversations mentioned in the dossier between individuals could be confirmed.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Particularly when it is common practice to use the position, and other such positions such as being royalty, to promote the designers of your home country. If Melania did that, instead of bemoaning her loss of promoting an 'own brand', then more power to her. | | | | | I am sure nobody in the Trump family would abuse their position to make money.
BTW, the Trump owned Mar-a-Lago (the winter White House!); the non-refundable membership fee was doubled to $200,000 within weeks of his election. Source |
