Trump Flag conundrum

Blueone said:
I’ll tell you a silly story about Trump. My dad worked for Procter and Gamble for many years as a salesman back when they had salesman like 35 years ago. My dad is Canadian and there was a sales meeting in NY city.... this was a big deal for my dad to go on a trip like this.

One night he is in a Trump Restaurant with a co worker just the two of them at a table. Up walks Trump and introduces himself to my dad and his buddy and they get talking. Trump asked about both their families, what they did for a living and why they were in NY... just a few minutes but a sincere few minutes, they had a good conversation ... they finished their meal and the waitress came up and said Mr Trump picked up your tab.

My dad came back pretty impressed and obviously told me that story... back in the day I had no idea who Trump was or could care less but it always stuck with me that someone would do that for my dad.... I really think the guy is genuine...not from my dads story alone there are many more..

Okay carry on..

I agree. Trump is a billionaire in dollars only. He gets along with the "Joe Shmoes" of the world.
 
Isn’t coming down until our Marina finalizes some off season promises!!

He has a long history of unsung philanthropic gestures and random acts of kindness like that here in NY.
Stuff he did when nobody was looking.
I knew a guy who worked for him many years ago. This was back when he was well known here in NY, but not nationally.
The mere fact that this guy was working for him was an act of kindness in of itself.
Anyway, the guy was amazed at how often Trump helped people out who were down on their luck.
Word was that while he was very tough to do business with, he was an excellent guy to work for.
While he isn’t solely responsible for the resurgence of NYC in the 1980’s on, he was a great contributor to it.
When he took over the old Commodore Hotel on East 42nd, that side of town was getting as rundown and edgy as the area a few blocks west of there.
That renovation was a turning point for the area.
The guy has great vision and instinct.
 
I am guessing people were not watching when this was going on, so generous!!

Likewise. I mean the guy suggested injecting disinfectant might be a good idea yesterday. I would genuinely LOVE to hear how you guys spin this one. Most of you guys seem like pretty logical people of sound mind. I don't understand how you get behind this.

The man himself continues to be his own worst enemy.

Your an idiot! He posed the question to the professionals as to whether there might be research into that as a possible therapy and they all nodded an indicated that all ideas are on the table for research. Trump even said , IM NO DOCTOR JUST AN IDEA GUY. anyone pushing this story is just being a dick for effect. Get real!
 
I get so pissed when Trump Haters hijack a non political thread. I was simply sharing an experience in social discourse originally.
It is what it had become though.
Peace out!

Lighten up. We were having some fun.

I’m sorry that your thread got hijacked.

you say lighten up, but the reaction CD got, is just what he wanted. He wanted any reaction, positive or negative.... if someone flew an Obama flag all you would be going apeshit.... you will say no, but it’s the truth. Truth hurts I guess

.... and the person with the Biden 10’ flag got the reaction they wanted.... both are childish, but if that’s what your looking for, go for it

people are dividing this country every day, you can blame the other side, but you are just as much to blame...

I think it’s sad that people make everything political. Boating? Really?

That’s a bit high and mighty attitude.

What do you care what flag anyone flies?

Ever consider your passing judgement is political bias itself?

Don’t worry about the spec in my eye...
 
The MSM is sure getting some mileage out of their fake 'inject bleach' story that's for sure. They're out to hurt Trump as always, just like their recent emphasis on cov19 and black Americans. They have zeroed in on the headline readers, things like this one, ‘For black folks, it’s like a setup: Are you trying to kill us?’ Their purpose is nothing informative but instead purely political and about the next election.

Like Trump I too wondered 'is there a way'. I wondered is it possible to flush the lungs. I imagined a solution to not only rinse out phlegm but one that would soothe inflamed tissues helping to open restricted alveoli. Maybe a solution that would leave a residue making it less hospitable to the virus, maybe something that interfered with that bond that must be made between the virus and our cells....sort of a disinfectant...but no, that would be a stupid thought. Woody you dummy again.

So on a whim three weeks ago I flew my Trump Keep America Great Again flag. My boat is berthed adjacent a promenade that encircles the city marina and is a very popular path for Benicia residents to walk the dogs, Kids ect. When I am at the boat I always get several Thumbs up and exclamations of GO TRUMP! There is a houseboat across the fairway from me that has put up a ten foot plus Biden 2020 sign. I'm good with that, she has her views, Fine!
I get a call this evening from the harbor master asking me to take down my flag. The management actually is supportive of Trump and loves my flag but they have been inundated with complaints from tenants of the Condos that overlook the marina about both of the flags/banners.
There is actually a clause in my slip contract that prohibits the display of signage on the boats with the exception of For Sale signs for the boat.
I'm a reasonable chap and I only put up the sign for yuks so I agreed to remove it. Now I'm having second thoughts. Do I keep the peace in the place I just go to relax on my boat and let a few Snow Flake Libertards tread on my first amendment rights? I'm getting musings from friends about contracts not trumping constitutional rights and such.
The Gal with the Biden sign says she will take hers down only after I take mine down. She happens to be a currently out of work bartender/server at our club and we actually have a good relationship, hence the conundrum I find myself in. Any thoughts?

We had the exact same issue last summer. A buddy of mine was flying his Trump flag and the marina office got a complaint from a condo owner. The harbormaster came over and asked him if he would take it down and I think his response was "hell no". There's nothing in the lease that would force him to take it down so, he ordered 12 more on Amazon and now they're all flying in the marina.

I would love to do it. My wife won’t let me.
Can’t imagine the look on people’s faces.
 
As a Trump supporter I think that's fantastic Kieth, however I'm not the type who advertises for politicians, because, well, they're politicians. Old Glory works for me. I also ordered a Betsy Ross Flag.
 
You can’t fly a confederate flag. You can’t wear a MAGA hat.
You can’t have civil war generals.
You can’t pray.
You can’t say the Pledge w “under God”
You can’t wear clothes w the American flag in school.
You can’t use a men’s only bathroom.

But... you can kill an unborn and newborn for convenience.
You can create sanctuary cities for illegals.
You can buy pot and smoke it but don’t dare take Hydroxychloroquine.
You can’t fly a flag w the name of the POTUS in it!
But you can burn the American flag.
If you’re a manly man your a misogynist.

I could go on but we get the picture.
