Donald has already released his finance statement several days prior to him making his announced run for the POTUS
We do not need a politician for the POTUS. We need a business man/ women in charge
I believe Donald will do what he says, if he becomes the POTUS.

As long as Mr. Trump can stay on message, he will be a force that Republican candidates must face head on. That being said, there are two questions that arise from the preceding statement. The first is the most obvious, can Trump stay on message? We saw in his announcement speech that there were times when Trump seemed to be teetering on the edge of political doom. He rambled on incessantly and his thought-process seemed scattered at best. While for the most part Mr. Trump was successful in not straying from the script, there were a few slight glimpses into the mind of the real Donald Trump, a mind that we will explore in just a bit.
One thing Donald has that none of the others has is $$$ of his own.
That means he will not be beholden to outside influence when decision making is needed,

"We need a business man/woman in charge"... no, we need someone without a mental disorder.
Look up 'Narcissist' in the dictionary and there will be Trump's face.
That means he will not be beholden to outside influence when decision making is needed, IMHO this is why he scares the establishment political system on both sides of the aisle. He will not be easily controlled.

It's no secret that Trump is a narcissist (he has every single one of the nine traits and characteristics, along with the behaviors consistent with NPD) which means he has Narcissistic Personality Disorder and narcissists never, ever make good leaders. He's not in it 'for the people', he's in it 'for the power'...the power he will surely abuse. Arrogance is not a virtue. Trump is one big bowl of wrong who blames everything on everyone else and takes no responsibility or accountability.
Mark my words, if he is elected/selected POTUS he will destroy the country and blame everyone and anything but himself.

Rez, you are correct that all humans make mistakes including speaking mistakes... I am not concerned with the fact that he may have misspoke, My issue is with the content of these 'slip-ups' where it seems to lift the veil ever so slightly that we might get a glimpse into how Trump would really govern. (Hint: He is an imperialist sociopath with a need for power and narcissistic predisposition.)

He's surging in the polls because he's saying everything that conservatives like to hear from a candidate.
Hatred towards minorities and the immigrant communities being a big part of that strategy.

I don't disagree with you about his need for power, but at the same time, I like the tough talk and the non-politician attitude. We've become such a nanny state in recent years that maybe we need this type of leadership. The politically correct (all in the name of progressiveness) is getting tiresome...I can't wait for a breath of fresh air, and we won't have that with the usual politician...republican or democrat.
