One way to deal with procrastination is to give yourself a deadline. Then, if you find it isn’t enough time, give yourself more time. That way, you will keep the momentum moving forward, while avoiding rash decisions.
I have travelled the world and other than being recognized for his real estate empire, Trump is seen as a crass, ignorant, world class racist scumbag.
What an amazing man! Love him or hate him we have to admit that he is intelligent, driven, creative and intriguing.
He certainly is making this next Presidential election a lot more interesting!! It’s men and woman like this who challenge
the rest of us to think a little deeper, do research, analyzing, etc. that in the long run will make our America stronger if we engage in the challenge of productive assessments that lead to a better society.
After all, it is sandpaper that refines the beauty of the wood that supports the desk where the great thinkers and doers
provide the wisdom that makes us a better America!

Donald can lick my balls
Donald Trump is honest the raw way. But given a choice between raw honesty and diplomatic lies, I’d rather have the former. Thank you Mr.Trump, for showing us again and again that once there is a will there is a way.Now, just do it one more time by leading America back to the path of success.
Donald Trump is not, and has never been in the Guinness Book of World Records as “Biggest Financial Turnaround”. This is something he alone claims, and if thought is given to it, you soon realize they could never verify it due to historical perspective, and the manner in which Donald Trump calculates his wealth.
Is Trump tower his primary accomplishment? I Would like to see a simple bulleted list.
Hey Big Boss:
Your comment would sound a bit better if you’d say: “Think big & big things happen”, Think small & small thing happen”.
Sell yourself, we don’t need to hear any more dirt, ignore, you don’t need to reply to those negative comments.
Best of Luck on Nov. 8th.
