 in Cedar Rapids. “We can’t have the world taking advantage of us anymore. And I love all people, rich or poor, but in those particular positions I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense? Does that make sense?

[stevenash]

I'll bet he also doesn't want criminals in charge of law enforcement.

[Englebert]

Yes, it does make sense.

[stevenash]

But some people will take/interpret his statement and then say  Trump said he hates poor people.  And the bots sheep will regurgitate at breakneck speed.

Yep, that's the interpretation I'm predicting also. I bet we hear "Trump hates poor people" for at least 4 more years (hopefully 8 years). I would also bet this line will splinter to "Republicans hate poor people". Of course, that's already a prevalent theme from Liberals.

This post deserves an lol.

[westend1]

So poor people earn less than 500k?  Lol

[westend1]

Its too late for that. The cops just murdered a man that bought a gun and paid for an open carry license. Basically followed the path that makes the Nra wet their pants.

Let's see, many on the left don't think Trump should be the president because he has no experience in running any government program. He has no clue what he is doing. He should leave it to the career politicians that know how things work. 

Okay, so Trump wants people that know how to spur growth in charge of the economy... but now the left is saying, hey, experience is not needed. Middle class Americans need to be in charge of what is good economically. 

I don't know if Trump is correct but I understand his concept. I don't want a college dropout that is organizing anti-military peace rallies to be in charge of the Department of Defense.

Whats wrong with this line of thinking?  By the time  one is in the autumn of his life and has become very accomplished at his or her particular endeavor, there is a very good chance that doing well in that particular field of endeavor has allowed one to accumulate a meaningful sum of material wealth.  In contrast, those who have done an average job or slightly above or below average were unable to accumulate as much.  Should we hire those who have done exceptionally well or should we hire the near average person so doing so can seem more politically correct?

If we go for below average, and someone who didn't donate to Trump, I'm your man.  What's it pay?

And I don't wanna here no "dollar a year" bovine feces.  High 6 figures or low seven.

There you go, holding the little man down again by requiring he be qualified.
