If others happen to benefit too well he** that's ok but that is not their first concern and never will be . Get over it folks! Pols are not the best role models. You don't expect a snake to be an angel. Why would you expect a politician to be one?

I thought Trump liked Boris Johnson more. I wonder why he didn't invite him. There are murals of both of them kissing everywhere in the art scene in the US and Britain.
Anyway, the Republicans seem to think it's a good idea to bring in foreigners into American politics. I thought that might confuse the Trump base, as they are confused already. I'm confused as well. I was confused with Brexit!
Maybe you can give me a clue about how Trump's brain works. My thoughts are "What the he** are you thinking!" (It merits an exclamation mark, for hyperbole.) less

I know. He gave a speech to 30,000 folks via TV about carrying on the work he was doing when he was running for prez. How is that going to insure no Trump in the White House? Will he go to rallies with Hillary? Will he make any speeches on her behalf? What exactly does "doing everything in my power...." mean and when does he plan to start doing it? Apparently half the staff for this project quit en masse when he brought his former campaign manager aboard to run it. The folks thought the contributions would be from the little guys...just as was true during the primaries. His campaign manager(whom those who worked with him say is a bully and very difficult) wants to go after the really big fish. Which is against everything Sanders stood for isn't it? So what's going on with him and why? Has he abandoned the little fish and now he is gunning for the whales? less

How seriously caring is he really? 70 years old and NOW he chooses to talk about them? Hmmm. Timing is curious isn't it? He is talking specifically to people of color. Are they listening? Do they believe him? Has he sold them? Does he own them now as he owns his support base? What magical words did his say that closed the deal ?

He had his hands full with his resources, helping victims. But when Obama showed up a few days later, he told them he was giving them $27 million.
Trump showed up the week before, in spite of being told not to come. Especially for a photo shoot. So what did he bring to help the victims?

In the Gospel of Luke, the parable is introduced by a question which asked for clarification on a key word in the "Great Commandment."
Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"
He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind, ; and your neighbour as yourself ."
He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbour?" -- Luke 10:25-29
