Do You Really Know Trump?

Today in the news we learned that Donald Trump said he didn't know enough about David Duke and the white supremacist movement to decide whether or not to disavow their endorsement of his Presidential candidacy. Mr Trump claims he didn't understand the question because CNN gave him a faulty ear piece. During the interview he claimed to know nothing about David Duke or any white supremacist movement, and insisted he didn't know such groups had endorsed his candidacy.
Later today I learned that Donald Trump does not believe in the freedom of the press, at least not as it applies to him. He intends to spend millions suing journalists and news outlets that don't report favorably about him because, to quote The Donald himself, he's "not like other people."
To top it all off, one of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect Trump grabbed a Time Magazine photographer in a choke hold at a recent Trump rally and drove the photographer to the ground to prevent the photographer from taking pictures of protesters at that political rally. The photographer posed no threat to Trump, but he left the corral to which the Trump campaign had limited members of the press.
Folks here in the US, is this the kind of man you want running this country? Folks outside the US, would having a man like this in charge of the US make you feel more safe and secure?
Do we really know Donald Trump at all, or is he trying to sell us a pig in a poke?

I think it took the Republican Party too long to realize the real threat of Trump. He appeals to the lowest common denominator among angry white middle and lower middle class Americans and they come out to support him in droves.

Surely, you have seen on Facebook, that Canadians think it's time to pull the plug on that prank.

Trump is a very dangerous man with a lot of momentum in a party that has lost its way. He is a danger to civil liberties and appeals to the very worst instincts in this country. Did you ever read "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis?

I think it will be funny if American's vote him in. But it would also be incredibly scary from the rest of the world's point of view.

Like I have been saying you can't sue everyone. He sounds a little scary.

As a born and raised a,erican I don't want him to run our country at all. To be into all things and wanting people to still support him. The people that want this crazy guy are of course those holding us all back from growing as human beings, we shouldn't be closed minded. I'll vote for someone isn't going to give money to racist people but to someone that will try to bring us all together.

Today I saw an image of a younger Trump with his daughter sitting beside him (or was it on his lap, either way...)
There was a quote from him stating that his daughter was very beautiful and were it not for the fact that he was married and that she was his daughter, he would uhm.. well you know.
Is this true? Who is to say. I wouldn't put it past him though.
I don't follow the debates but I know an untrustworthy person when I see one, and he will drive our country to the ground if we let him.
