I'm not exactly sure this is making the point you want to make.
SperoWolf wrote:No one has a perfect run, but he knows how to play the system and doesn't take losses.
He doesn't take losses because he explicitly makes sure he's not the one who will suffer for them. He has declared Business Bankruptcy no less than
four times. He's explicitly mentioned himself to abuse the country's laws to pare debt. Your response is to put him in one of the highest offices of the country.

Well, yes, if one's sociopathic and / or idolizes his track record.
SperoWolf wrote:I'm not looking for someone else to play an audience and accomplish jack in his office time,
That is exactly what he does. Sometimes he'll even pay the audience that's to be played, or milk the same schtiel for multiple years in a row (see: His Birther Movement activities) as a way to lead into a new tune.

Protip: Global Economics doesn't work the same as US Business Economics. For one of the more basic differences, if he defaults
once, there won't be a Global Economy to default a second time in. Admittedly, thinking about it, this is a relatively moot point because he doesn't even have political experience to draw from: The extent of his political resume is a list of receipts for funded candidates and whipping Tea Party members into a greater furor over President Obama. This is not only something that is not helpful re: a President, but actively harmful. His words right now, as a business man, carry relatively little weight. But if he were to be nominated (let alone elected) as the President of the United States, the implications would be
horrifying. They would, effectively, be a declaration that the United States is run by business, for business, and forget (or, worse, exploit) all the poor / minority demographics within.
SperoWolf wrote:As for the controversy, besides the "racism" it's mostly the usual mudslinging nonsense.
You very much don't need to put "racism" in quotes, he's unabashedly so unless you want to say that his Birther participation and Mexican comments are entirely based in playing to a crowd (at which point: Congrats! He's now playing to an audience, and you're admitting he's a political sock puppet of the Tea Party which is - shall we say - one of the last parties you want anywhere near a position of authority in the United States as it's almost predominantly composed of Dixiecrats or the immediate offspring of Dixiecrats who left the Democrat party in the 1960's over the Civil Rights' movement).
SperoWolf wrote:I agree wholeheartedly with his stance on immigration.
Oh SperoWolf no. Just… no. I'm going to avoid cluttering this thread with an information bomb on Immigration and the drastic reform needs it has in the US, but if one honestly believes things like "Mexicans are coming into our country to rape our women-folk and take our jobs" I'll - to be blunt - say that your understanding of everything from the United States' bureaucratic situation, to the general plights faced by Latin American Immigrants (not just them, but especially them in a number of cases), to actual Illegal Immigrant demographics (also, on this note, Illegal Immigrant is a bit of a misnomer as it means that what they're doing is a crime which would mean they would be entitled to the full
protection of the US Legal System as well), to Sociology 101 is… less than passing.

SperoWolf wrote:we live in where saying you believe most illegal immigrants are criminal turns into "he hates Mexicans!"
Well, besides the fact that this
isn't what he said (which was actually, paraphrased, "The Mexican Government is sending filthy rapists and other bottom-feeder criminals into our country because reasons"), I must again point to the fact that we actually - generally - treat illegal immigrants a fair deal worse than Criminals. Which is no mean feat, considering we only just recently declared a law that allowed you to imprison someone for life over theft of a $2.50 pair of socks to be unconstitutional and there are literally states wherein Prisoners live in tent-towns situated in the middle of the desert (Hi Arizona!).
SperoWolf wrote:and we stop ignoring the trillions of dollars we owe so we can play crowds.
You do realize that ignoring Austerity and practicing Keynesian Economics is one of the reasons we (the US, though Canada has shown a remarkably good track record with similar practices) is one of the reasons that we're not only recovering as well as we are comparing to many of our economic competitors (look at how well Austerity has been treating the vast majority of Europe in the last several years, for example), but that we aren't looking at another Global Depression yes? Throttling Government spending to a bare minimum and "tightening those bootstraps" not only does horrific amounts of harm to a significant portion of the US population and economy, but has been repeatedly proven locally and abroad to simply
not work.

You do realize that Donald Trump would be busy being that politician if he wasn't already busy being the celebrity shaking hands, yes?

As he's reliant on the Tea Party vote (since they're the only voter demographic he could reliably appeal to, having dashed his chance of any minority, moderate Republicans or Leftist-in-general voting for him over the last several terms by being a deranged clown), he almost undoubtably will.
