A TRUE LEADER HAS THE CONFIDENCE TO STAND ALONE
THE COURAGE TO MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS
THE COMPASSION TO LISTEN TO THE NEEDS OF OTHERS
HE DOES NOT SET OUT TO BE A LEADER
BUT BECOMES ONE BY THE EQUALITY OF HIS ACTIONS
AND THE INTEGRITY OF HIS INTENT.
THIS IS AMERICA'S CHOSEN PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP !

4.5 billion? Sounds good. Or I guess you could vote Sanders in and have Zuckerberg pay 63 billion in taxes. That'll be a sight to see.
