POST 298 PROOF? THAT DONALD TRUMP CAN DO THE JOB AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Hi,

WHILE "THE DONALD" IS BEING CHASED BY EVERY ORGANIZATION WITH A GRUDGE AGAINST THE WAY HE EXPRESSES HIMSELF OR THE WAY HIS HAIR IS PARTED, THIS BLOGGER DECIDED A LITTLE GOOD PUBLICITY WAS NOT A BAD THING.

WE'VE ALL HEARD OF MAR-A-LAGO, NOW CALLED TRUMP'S MANSION BUT A LITTLE HISTORY MIGHT BE IN ORDER.  IT WAS  LAST OWNED BY MRS. MERIWEATHER POST.  YEP,  RIGHT OUT OF THE POST-TOASTIES FAMILY THAT HAD YOU CRUNCH YOUR WAY TO THEIR MILLIONS AT BREAKFAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THE MANSION WAS A DRAG ON THE PALM BEACH MARKET AFTER SHE DIED UNTIL TRUMP BOUGHT IT. IT WAS GUARANTEED RECOGITION AS AN OLD HOUSE AND TRUMP WAS TOLD--"NO MAJOR CHANGES" WHICH HE ACCEPTED.  HE SET ABOUT RESTORING WHATEVER PROBLEMS EXISTED TO CODE WITHOUT MODIFICATION AND ADDED SOME 21ST CENTURY TOUCHES TO THE GROUNDS THAT MADE LIFE EASIER.

HE VALUED ITS HISTORY AND THE BALLROOM THAT HOSTED THE ELITE OF THE 20TH CENTURY AT LAVISH PARTIES AND NOW IS OFTEN PICTURED IN HIS CAMPAIGN ADS AND FILLED WITH SUPPORTERS. THE HOUSE IS HUGE, BEAUTIFUL IN ITS ANCIENT WAY, AND COSTLY AND HE ONLY LIVES IN PART OF IT. HE MADE IT HIS HOME WHILE IN PALM  BEACH AND HE MADE IT AVAILABLE TO THE RICH AND FAMOUS FOR LARGE FEES FOR THEIR STAY ON THE OCEAN AND AN UNDERGROUND ENTRANCE TO THE BEACH WHICH IT FRONTED.  THESE FOLKS VALUED THE PREMISES AND KNEW THEY WERE HELPING TO PRESERVE IT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. TRUMP SOLVED ALL THE PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH THE OLD MANSION BUT ONE--IT WAS DIRECTLY UNDER THE FLIGHT LINE OF THE LOCAL AIRPORT AND THAT PROBLEM IS STILL ON THE BOOKS.

BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WONDER AT HIS SINCERITY ABOUT THIS COUNTRY AND ITS HISTORY, MAR-A-LAGO IS A GOOD CASE IN POINT. HE PRESERVED ITS HISTORY, MADE IT ACCEPTABLE TO THE RICH AND FAMOUS AND CONTINUED ITS TRADITIONS OF WHAT THEY USED TO CALL "SWELLIGANT"--ELEGENT LIVING BUT IN A NEW AND MODERN WAY.  HIS WAY PAID THE BILLS AND KEPT TRADITIONS WHILE OFFERING THIS MODERN SOLUTION.  NOW IT IS HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS.  ADDING ANOTHER LAYER  OF HISTORY TO ITS FAME.  A FAIR ACHIEVEMENT FOR WHAT EVERYONE HAD ONCE CALLED A "WHITE ELEPHANT" AFTER MRS. POST'S DEMISE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET THE POINT ???????????????????? HE TOOK A SUPPOSEDLY PROTECTED STRUCTURE THAT WOULD COST TAXPAYERS BEAUCOUP LOOT AND WAS NOT BEING WELL KEPT UP AND TURNED THE SITUATION AROUND COMPLETELY WHILE  READILY MAINTAINING AND PROTECTING ITS HISTORIC VALUE AS WELL AS MAKING IT 21ST CENTURY PRACTICAL. HE ALLOWED THE ENJOYMENT  AND PRESERVATION TO BE SHARED BY OTHERS WHO HELPED PAY THE EXPENSES,  THUS  HE REMOVED IT FROM THE BURDEN THAT WOULD EVENTALLY FALL ON TAXPAYERS AS A PRESERVATION PROPERTY.

THIS BLOGGER WOULD VENTURE THE OPINION THAT IT'S A PRETTY GOOD EXAMPLE OF TRUMP'S PERSONAL BELIEFS, ABILITIES, CREATIVE THINKING AND LOVE OF THE HISTORY AROUND HIM. IT WOULD  POINT TO THE VERACITY OF HIS STATEMENT ABOUT LOVING AMERICA AND WANTING TO SEE IT RETURN TO GREATNESS AND BELIEVING THAT HE CAN HELP ACHIEVE THAT GOAL.

IT'S WAY TOO EASY FOR ALL OF US TO TAKE POT SHOTS AT HIS SEEMINGLY BLITHE SPIRIT AND HIS CONFIDENCE IN HIS ABILITY TO TAKE ON THIS VERY DIFFICULT JOB OF RESTORING AMERICA TO HER FORMER GLORY. BUT MAR-A-LAGO IS AN ADEQUATE PROOF OF HIS ABILITY TO TURN ONCE NEGATIVE EVENTS TO A POSITIVE SOLUTION SO THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN ADMIRE AND AGREE WITH THE SOLUTION.  IF A TOWN GOVERNMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE MIGHTY AND WEALTHY TOWN OF PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, THIS BLOGGER WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE IS NOT A GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD ANY TOUGHER,  MORE NARROW MINDED ABOUT ITS WAY OF LIFE,   BETTER HEELED,  OR WITH MORE INFLUENCE THAN THIS SMALL TOWN ON THE COAST OF FLORIDA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS A WORLD OF ITS OWN AND YET TRUMP MANAGED TO MAKE HIS WAY THROUGH ALL THAT AND CREATE A POSITIVE OUTCOME.

LET'S GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. IT PROVES HIS POINT THAT THE AFFAIRS OF MEN RESPOND SUCCESSFULLY  TO THE SAME KIND OF REASONING WHEN APPROACHED THOUGHTFULLY, SHOWN THE BENEFITS (TO OFF SET THEIR DEFICITS) AND FUNDED CORRECTLY BOTH IN MANAGEMENT AND FISCAL UNDERSTANDNG.  IT IS SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES PRACTICE, ABILITY AND A DESIRE TO SUCCEED. THIS BLOGGER THINKS TRUMP HAS PROVED THAT WITH MAR-A-LAGO ALTHOUGH YOU MAY SEE IT AS THE TIP OF AMERICA'S ICEBIRG, IT IS MORE PROOF THAN WE USUALLY GET WITH OUR CANDIDATES AND MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS HAVE SHOWN US.

AS FOR THE BLONDE WHO WAS WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT, SHE'S GIVEN US PROOF OF WHAT FAILURE LOOKS LIKE AND HOW PREVARICATION CAN'T CHANGE THE LOUSY SMELL IT CARRIES.

IT IS THIS BLOGGER'S DESIRE TO PRESENT A VIEW OF DONALD TRUMP THAT MANY WOULD NOT BE PRIVY TO AS ARE THE RESDENTS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. IT CAN BE ILLUMINATING TO THOSE WHO WONDER ABOUT HIS TALENTS.   HE IS NOT CONCEITED AS MUCH AS ASSURED BY HIS SUCCESSES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS VISUAL PROOF THAT HE HAS THE TALENTS NEEDED TO DO THE JOB AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEERS, CONNIE
