It seems President Trump is selling his modest Caribbean estate.  What a pity!  It looks like a lovely place.

As you admire his opulent abode, I suggest you reflect on the fact that an extremely wealthy man, who could easily have lived out his days in the lap of luxury, chose instead to step into the political arena, invite a firestorm of abuse and condemnation, spend millions of his own hard-earned dollars, and assume the awesome responsibilities of the presidency of the United States.  Does ego have something to do with it?  No doubt.  But public service, especially on this scale, still involves sacrifice, and lots of it.  I believe Trump ran for President first and foremost because he loves this country, and he saw that our political class was simply ignoring a variety of festering problems: bad trade deals, blue collar job losses, flagrant disrespect for our borders, etc.  He decided that he wouldn't sit idly by and watch the Clintons of this world profit from America's plight and hasten our nation's decline.  Good for him!  Say what you want about Donald Trump, but he's a patriot, and a little patriotism goes a long way...
