I thought DJT was another Rockefeller republican at first. It was about half way through the primaries it occurred to me: hey, I like this guy and literally everything he states!
I didn't know that much about Trump until he emerged as a contender for the nomination. I had seen him a little bit on The Apprentice and appreciated his no-nonsense style. And during the lead-up to the primary, I was amused at the casual ease with which he was kicking aside his competition, like they were so many chihuahuas. My wife was a huge Trump supporter, having lived in the New England area and knowing more about him. I've been in his corner ever since.
I also appreciate Trump from a perspective that doesn't get much discussed. He builds things and develops property. Ahead of schedule and under budget. Things like skyscrapers. As a systems engineer, I have some appreciation of the scale and complexity of something like a skyscraper. It is on a par with building an aircraft carrier. There are certain mental traits that go along with performing such a feat efficiently, economically, and with consummate taste. I read an interview of someone who had to brief Trump on an aspect of one of his ongoing projects and he said the Trump in private is not the Trump in public. The public Trump is affable and seemingly superficial. The private Trump is relentless about digging into the details of a problem, understanding every aspect, asking questions until the person being interrogated begins to wilt, but not stopping until he is fully satisfied he has been informed. Trump keeps all the details in his head. I would not be at all surprised to learn his I.Q. would be, say, 160. That would make him a rarity at 1 case in 15,783. Somehow, I think he is more rare than that.
As for Vance, I have met maybe just under half a dozen Marines in my life and every one was a sterling person. I used to call my fractious, bold, and utterly loyal riding horse my "Jarhead" steed. No higher compliment for a horse. At the age of 30 (old for a horse) and with a heart murmur, he passed away in his sleep overnight after winning 6 impromptu paddock races with a much younger filly. He died with his boots on. And then it came to me why we got along so well together. We were alike. Here, words fail me.
I love it when I meet people who admit they were skeptical of Trump at first, but are wide awake now and see just how much he has done for them.

i supported trump from the beginning it's not that hard
I wondered how many Marines have become president, none. If JD were to become president, he'd be the 1st Marine.
