I still believe Donald Trump suffers from narcissistic personality disorder. It is the only thing that explains all his otherwise inexplicable excesses and keen ability to manipulate others. As someone who married someone with a personality disorder, I fear for the very survival of my country. Please do not consider this an endorsement of Hillary. I do not believe she is honest. So what to do. I remain undecided.

I'm not concerned about spellcheck and the article not being an academic comparison and contrast to Hillary. I guess it's being a NYér that I completely got Trumps remarks about Mr. McCain not being a hero because he was captured. Being captured does not make a person a hero. He may have done some other things that were heroic and certainly has done his best to do good things in a life that was a huge challenge. Trump took that opportunity to blast the way people are using the idea of being heroic to tag just about anything that means we suffer. I agree with him. Being captured is not heroic. Trump seems harsh when he says to effect---he got captured that makes him a loser---yeah that's right---he lost that one---he got captured. He didn't win. That makes perfect sense to me. I wish he didn't use that as a dig at Mc Cain though. He is game playing there and that was a strike. Mitt Romney also plays hardball and so does Harry Reid. What Mitt did to Trump is inexcusable. Ive lost a lot of respect for Mitt and it dashed his credibility in my eyes. I think Mr. Trump will lead the Country from a perspective that needs trying. We need this before the Socialists prove to us a unite order type of thing will never work except as authorized under proper Priesthood with the Lord at its head.

1deeprum. On Hillary and her record. Sorry. I just can't write about her. I'm too biased by the facts. She has to be the worst person to run for the presidency since Warren G. Harding. Her lies, shaddy deals, and illegal activities leave me speechless. I can't be objective about her. I can objectively analyze Donald Trump. I can also analyze Libertarian Gary Johnson, but, he's so irrelevent, why bother.

Dear Lydia, In
2012, Mitt Romney attended the fundraiser that HE asked D. Trump to put on at Trump Towers. Trump did it. That's a fact of history. Look it up. AND in February, 2012, Mitt Romney held a press conference in Nevada where he and Ann Romney stood on the stage with Donald Trump and said the following: February 2012:
"I am so honored and pleased to have Donald Trump's endorsement. Donald Trump has shown an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works. To create jobs for the American people. He's done it here in Nevada. He's done it across the country. He understands that our economy is facing threats from abroad. He's one of the few people who stood up and said China has been cheating. They've taken jobs from Americans. They haven't played fair. We have to have a President who will stand up to cheaters."
Go to Youtube and type in Mitt Romney and Donald Trump endorsement and you can watch several videos of Mitt Romney fawning over Donald Trump as a business genius.

I truly think there is more to Trump than meets the eye. He was not my first choice, but compared to the establishment Republicans (Romney included), he at least will speak his mind and stand up to the liberal media and the Democratic lies. That is exactly what we need to help put this country back on the right track. He is not perfect, by any means, but maybe that is what this country needs. People need to get off their holier than thou high horses (Romney) and support Trump even if he doesn't speak like they would like him to. I would rather have someone like Trump that I agree with 80% of the time than help elect Hillary, whom I disagree with 100% of the time. People need to wake up and stop being so childish. Eat some humble pie (Romney) and support someone that could help save this country. We know the alternative will be disastrous for this country.

I have to agree with Jeff Bell. Some of the the things Donald Trump says makes me shudder but I'd vote for Mickey Mouse (HA) before I'd vote for Hillary Clinton no one should be above the law and that is where she is at this point.

Hillery? When can we read your treatise regarding her record, rhetoric, mis-speaks, & promises? Did I missed that? Without comparable inspection this article has no credibility.

This author has some points but he exaggerates when it comes to some of them such as "fawning" and Mitt Romney begging for his support. Come on...that's not objective. I will vote for Trump only because it is the lessor of two evils. As much damage as Obama has done, it is NOTHING compared to one more liberal than conservative Supreme Court judge has done in a 4 to 3 illogically based gay marriage decision that trampled states rights in their landmark decision. The consequences of just one (more) judge can be far more reaching and lasting than that of any President. Therefore I have to vote for Trump as we know what Clinton will do.

Lydia, It only takes seconds to spell check you work, it makes it easier for people to support what you are saying.

Time to stop being "Mormons" and start being Latter-Day-Saints. Time to stop trying to please the whole world and not offend anyone and start standing up for the principles that this country was founded on, God inspired documents such as the constitution and the declaration of independence. Time to start reading the Book of Mormon and applying those principles. Time to start emulating the heroes that are found there and others that stood up for what they believed. Do what is right let the consequence follow. Time to start being united under the flag of patriotism, Christianity and honor. Time to do the right thing.
Jeff BellJuly 13, 2016
Thank you for providing another perspective on Donald Trump. Many LDS people, including me, are turned off by Trump's attack on Mitt Romney. The Donald doesn't know to understand how we Mormons are against the mud-slinging and name-calling tactics us loves to use; he often sounds too childish and uneducated.
I am going to vote for him, more to try and stop Hillary from running the Supreme Court to the Left, than because I like him.
He may make a great President and stop the general trend of Socialism, that this country is hell-bent on adopting 100%, the unbridled influx of illegals pouring into our borders, improving the conditions of our Vets and reducing the high tax on our US corporations; maybe.

Author of article is wrong as Mitt was not requested to donate and the interpertation of thanking him for his contribution as " fawning" over him was not shown to be so, only an expected from the grntleman that Mitt is, gracious good manets. Ladtly, "bragging" trumps endorsement is also questiinable, so much does bragging go against Mitts personality. I would have to see what the author uses to bade that on. Putting up a list of major donners is I understand, quite standard.
