@TThompson I'm a cavs fan and LEO in northeast Ohio. Wanna invite me over and teach me how to trade? I've been struggling in the market for a few years. I need your help. And no, I am not asking for money. I have my own.
Donald Trump on why he didn't want to be President in 1980:
In a fascinating interview with Rona Barrett, a 34-year-old Donald Trump is asked if he would ever want to be President of the United States.
His answer might surprise you:
"I really don't believe I would, Rona. But I would like to see somebody as the president who could do the job."
Trump explains why the most capable people stay away from politics:
"Most men are frightened of politics todayโฆ The most capable people are not necessarily running for political office and that is a very sad commentary on the country. They head major corporations and they had this and that, but they are not running for political office."
When Barrett pushes him on why he himself wouldn't run, given his wealth and accomplishments, Trump gives a revealing answer:
"Because I think it's a very mean life. I would love and I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life."
He continues with a critique of the political process itself:
"Somebody with wrong views and somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right but may be unpopular... wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile. And that's a sad commentary for the political process."
Trump points to television as the culprit, using a striking historical example:
"The Abraham Lincolns of the world... Abraham Lincoln would probably not be electable today because of television. He was not a handsome man and he did not smile at all. He would not be considered to be a prime candidate for the presidency and that's a shame, isn't it?"
Despite his reluctance to run himself, Trump expresses a strong belief in the power of the right leader:
"There is one man that can turn this country around. I could tell you I know a number of people that would be excellent presidentsโฆ they're very, very competent, they're leaders, they have the respect of everybody, and they would be fabulous presidents. But they're not running for political office."
What Trump said he'd rather do at the time:
"What I would like to be involved in is trying to help choose somebody or working with a group of people whereby they put up a candidate who would be acceptable to be the president of the country."
@RealCryptoFace is this a fix to market cipher beta or something completely different. I had to leave the beta due to the losses I took. No regrets. I knew the risk.
