Donald Trump, just a regular guy.
We'll see just how deep Donald Trump's immigrant/working class roots
go after he has set his people in place.
If I had one wish at this moment, it would be that Donald Trump had
become a super baseball star. I'd rather know him as the original
ARod, than as the next unpopular president of America.
