When he watched live as the President castigated these 4 women and told them to "go back to the Country they came from", Nu'Trelle smashed the palm of one hand into the center of his forehead and said out loud, "What in the hell is he talking about? 3 of the 4 were born here!"I am not Anti Trump or Anti American. I call a spade a spade... The President has done some good and some bad like they all have... This however was one of his deplorably bad moments... Whether you like those ladies or not you should as an American take offense to what was said to them.
Same deal when Trump talked about John McCain, a political rival who was a true American military hero. A man who served his Nation and was shot down and taken as a P.O.W.
Whenever I'd hear him demean McCain, I'd use the same palm to smack the same part of my forehead even harder and scream at the top of my lungs, "HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING AS STUPID AS 'I LIKE GUYS WHO DIDN'T GET SHOT DOWN'? WHAT BRANCH DID YOU SERVE IN, PARTNER???"
As a veteran - even though I know Trump is pro-military - nothing he has said since taking office has been more offensive to me than his remarks about McCain. So yeah, I'm feelin ya peezy. Feelin ya bigtime. Let's move on.
Nu'Trelle is a conservative who grew up in the rust belt living among the working poor. He voted Republican in 2016 mainly because Trump made the following promise, "Put me in office and assure you I will put America and Americans first."
Essentially, I believe he has stayed that course. Trump is without question the most pro-American president in Nu'Trelle's lifetime, edging out even Dwight Eisenhower, a good man and military hero who lacked the benefit of Trump's experience in the private sector.
As an individual who pulled himself up by his own boot straps, Nu'Trelle and was one of millions and millions and millions of American success stories. Was he white? Yes. Did he go to school with scores of blacks who worked to make a better life for themselves and succeeded? Absolutely.
As someone who owned a business the majority of his life, Nu'Trelle had to rely primarily on one essential job skill: Making deals. And thank God he was got to be pretty good at it because you don't make a profit by completing a job. Only a very naive person would think that.
You may collect your money when you complete the job, but the profit is made (or not made) when you sit down across the table from someone and strike the deal.
Does that mean Nu'Trelle is a "Capitalist"? Yes. Are there American citizens who would think his success - even though modest by most measurements - was shameful? Absolutely. Look no further than the 20 people who appeared on stage in the first two Democratic debates. Look no further than the 4 women of color that Trump wrongfully castigated.
A solid college education was Nu'Trelle springboard and several of his professors were inspirational, but no one learns to make deals sitting in a classroom. And very few political officeholders are good at it either. Even those with degrees in Economics.
Nu'Trelle has spent a lifetime watching politicians try to leverage deals. Making deals with the average politician would have been like taking candy from a baby. Like watching a professional pitcher throwing 95 mph fastballs past guys who were cut from their HS baseball team.
Is Trump the best deal maker who ever lived? Nope. Not by a long shot. Most of the world's most powerful deal makers are sitting on top of oil reserves. Which politician do want sitting at the table talking to them? Kamala Harris? Bernie Sanders? Nancy Pelosi? Beto O'Rourke?
Laughable isn't it?
Who do you want to send to the next G8 conference? Let's see. How about the dealmaking dynamo known as "Elizabeth Warren". No? Not confident about her skill set? How about a if we make it a two for one package deal and throw in freshman Senator A.O. Cortez, the woman's who telling us that immigrants have been forced to drink turds out of toilet bowls?
I don't know (pause and make solid eye contact all around the room), but I'd be willing to bet this, if we sent 100 hard-working Republicans up to one of these units, I believe with every essence of being, that all 100 would walk up, remain standing and simply push the button that said "Water". What do you think? Am I right?
And furthermore (pausing to let supporters laugh and cheer him on) I'd be willing to double down that, if any of these same 100 Republicans people saw a Democrat fall to their knees and try to stick their head in the bowl, they'd be kind enough to stop them and flush the damned thing for them first.
Nu'Trelle yields the balance of his time.
