TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT
VOTE AS YOU WISH, AND LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT TRUMP - - A personal note from Peter Ticktin who knows the guy from high school:
As
a law firm, we at The Ticktin Law Group do not like to get involved in
politics. As soon as we endorse one side, we risk alienating everyone on
the other side. Also, our lawyers and staff are, themselves, on both
sides. Politics is not our game.
However, Justice is!
If
you saw a guy get publicly smeared, and you knew him well from the days
you were friends and seniors together in high school, if you knew him
to be a decent and honest man, would you want to say something? This is
why I need to share what I know.
I was aghast at watching last night's debate. It was a set-up.
The moderators, Cruz, and Rubio were all like little alligators trying to take a bite out of Trump.
Yes, Donald Trump has had some failures, but he has been exceedingly successful. None of this came out.
Instead, there was a general attack.
Rubio simply makes up lies.
He pretends that Trump has small hands and makes fun of him for something which isn't even real.
He pretends that Donald wets his pants, and makes fun of him, as though it was true, and then he calls Donald Trump a "Bully."
I am not suggesting that you should vote or not vote for anyone.
I just need to defend a former friend who is being smeared.
Like
Donald Trump, I attended New York Military Academy ("NYMA") for high
school. In fact, in our senior year, together, Donald was my captain,
and I was his 1st Platoon Sergeant.
I sometimes joke that I ran his first company for him, Company "A."
People don't really change much from the ages of 17 and 18, and I know this guy.
· I know him to be a good decent guy.
· We lived and breathed an Honor Code in those years.
· It wasn't just a rule.
· It was our way of life.
· Neither Donald, nor any other cadet who graduated with us would ever lie, cheat, or steal from a fellow cadet.
· These values became irreversibly intertwined in the fabric of our personalities, of who we are.
Of the 99 guys (no girls in those days) in our class, there is not one who I know who has a bad word to say about Donald Trump.
Think of it.
With
all the jealousies which arise in high school and thereafter, with all
the potential envy, not one of us has anything other than positive
memories of this man.
How
could we? He was an "A" student, a top athlete, and as a leader, he was
highly respected. We never feared him, yet we never wanted to
disappoint him. He had our respect. He was never a bigot in any way,
shape or form. He only hates those who hate. Of course he denounces the
KKK.
As to the discussion with the New York Times, it is his choice to release the 'off the record' remarks.
However, if he does, it opens the door for all political opposition to
make that demand for everyone, and that means that our press will never
get those 'off the record' remarks which help them to understand the
realities of the campaign.
Moreover, the idea that Donald Trump confessed some alternate theory of his position is preposterous.
Can
anyone believe that all those NY Times reporters are walking around
knowing some deep dark nasty secret about a guy who is seeking an
endorsement?
The Republican establishment is afraid of Donald Trump.
Watching
the chorus of whiners, decriers, denigrators, and self-righteous
put-down experts from so many directions, from Mit Romney, to Megyn
Kelly, Little Mario, it has to make you wonder.
Why?
Why are so many people so angry with Donald Trump, that they are lying, name calling, ridiculing, and demeaning him as they do.
Either they are afraid, or they know him to be evil.
This is why I feel the need to speak out at this time.
I know this man. He is a lot of things, but he is not evil.
He
is a decent honest guy who loves this country, and who is willing to
sacrifice so much of what is left of his life, because he knows that
this country needs to be fixed, and that it is going to require someone
who can do the job.
He just doesn't see anything around him other than political hacks, so he is willing to take this huge responsibility.
I'm not saying that he is the only one who can do the job. My point is simply as to his motivation and his goodness.
This next decade is going to be one of major changes.
· We all see the climate changing, and the world food supply is getting lower.
· Our fish stock around the world is running low.
· Oil prices will cause countries to fail.
· The Middle East is beyond repair, and
· we have become weak and ineffective around the world.
· Donald Trump sees the issues and knows that he can assemble leaders who would have the best chance of fixing things.
· This is why he is running.
· He does not need it for his own aggrandizement.
· He doesn't need another big jet or to take up residence in the White House.
· He just wants things to be fixed, and he knows that the politicians won't fix anything.
I knew Donald Trump and was close to him in our senior year in high school.
I just want you to know that there is nothing to fear from him.
His character is as good as it gets.
He is a patriot, taking on a heroic task, and being thanked by massive abuse.
If you want to see a true reflection of a man, look at his children.
Need I say more?
