"I feel that the United States has tremendous wealth. The wealth is under its feet. I’ve made that wealth come alive," he said. "And I’m not going to lose that wealth. I’m not going to lose it on dreams — on windmills, which frankly aren’t working too well. ”
Hmmmm... Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Watson, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk...
We need dreamers, not schemers.

Further evidence he's as
Further evidence he's as clueless on presidentin' as much as he is business or actual "deals."
He's just flailing and the "wind mill" comment shows he's losing on that front especially.
Trump is a BUFFOON! Any
(in reply to Factchecker)
Trump is a BUFFOON! Any person that voted for him or that supports him is either ignorant or racist or both. He is not qualified for the Presidency. He is a racist, immoral, and evil man that is responsible for the death and suffering of many people. The United States will never recover from the damage his Presidency has done to our country and the world. It is scary to think about the damage a Trump reelection could do to our democracy. He is mentally unstable and he is a very dangerous man!
