Related: About this forumTrump quote :" Stand behind your word, and make sure your word stands up "
form trumps book. Crippled America chapter 14.
Many of the lessons Ive learned in business are applicable to our current situation. The most important lesson is thisStand behind your word, and make sure your word stands up. People who have done business with me will tell you that I never say something unless I mean it.
I dont make promises I cant keep. I dont make threats without following through. Dont ever make the mistake of thinking you can bully me. My business partners and employees know that my word is as good as any contractand that better go for the other sides word as well.
I stand behind my commitments, and our commitments as a nation.
I standwithout questionbehind the Constitution at home, and I stand, without question, behind our allies abroad.
No friendly country, and no allied leader, should question our ironclad support again.
No enemy, and no enemy leader, should misinterpret our resolve to fight to the deaththeir death.
We need a leader who is going to restore the respect this country enjoyed in the past. Im criticized for not issuing elaborate, detailed policy statements. What good are detailed plans if your country doesnt have the credibility to carry them outbut I issue them anyway.
The president is the spokesperson for democracy and liberty. Isnt it time we brought back the pomp and circumstance, and the sense of awe for that office that we all once held?
That means everyone working in the administration should look and act professionally at all timesespecially the president. The way you dress and the way you act is an important way of showing respect for the people you are representing and the people you are dealing with. Impressions matter.

I wish Hillary could use some of Trumps own Language in the upcoming debate.
To often Trump uses some sort of lame excuse for his comments, and he gets away with it.
Trump is just saying some hollow words and statements, using the cultural divide for his own personal gain....To be POTUS.
So who is the real Trump. Does his words reflect policy ?

What is sad is at least 40% of Americans believe he means this.

Growing up in Queens, I was a pretty tough kid. I wanted to be the toughest kid in the neighborhood and had a habit of mouthing off to everybody while backing down to no one. Honestly, I was a bit of a troublemaker. My parents finally took me out of school and sent me upstate to the New York Military Academy. I had my share of run-ins there as well.
