The America We Deserve: on Principles & Values


3 principles: One term, two-fisted policies, zero excuses

I would center my presidency on three principles: one term, two-fisted policies, and no excuses. For voters it would be a business approach, and the best one available in the presidential marketplace. I’d lead by example. And what I could also bring to the presidency is a new spirit, a great spirit that we haven’t had in this country for a long time-the kind of spirit that built the American Dream.

Non-politicians are the wave of the future

Yes, I am considering a run for the presidency of the United States. I will run if I become convinced I can win. Two things are certain at this point, however: I believe non-politicians represent the wave of the future and if elected I would make the kind of president America needs in the new millennium.

In business & politics, stands for getting things done

I put people together, and when I feel I have the right team, I let them show me what they can do. When the bottom fell out of the real estate market, I survived because of the people I assembled. What saved Trump Organization was my willingness to step back and to let the people who work for me do their thing. I’ve taken the same approach in refining my political agendas. I’ve talked to people who seemed to have the right talent and ideas. I’ve read until I found authors who saw problems the way I do. I’ve based my political programs on this research. I’m also bringing a perspective to politics that most politicians don’t have. I’ve built a multi-billion empire by using my intuition. Here I’m letting my instincts tell me how we have to work together to build the America we deserve. I stand for getting things done.
