I met Trump, once, when he did a meet and greet business seminar in NY several years back. My family was one of the first in line, and I was in High School at the time. He actually seemed rather impressed that all of my siblings, myself included, wanted to play an active part in my parents business. He took one look at me "You're the one the kids pick on, aintcha?"

At the time, I was actually being bullied horribly by my fellow classmates for a variety of different reasons, and I guessed it showed through my demeanor.

"That's cause you aren't hungry enough. They see you have something going on, but you ain't hungry enough. They want to keep you down. They have nothing. You want that to change, you need to to want it so bad you're starving. You go back, hold your head high, and punch them in the goddamn throat in anything you do in life. Because I know when someone can be hungry."

I was 15/16ish. I'm 23, going on 24, with my own business separate from my parents, a college degree under my belt, and a happy loving family to stand behind me. The people who bullied me in school are either dead, in jail, became teenage parents, or wound up with dead-end menial jobs. So to any of you, I will say this:

My vote for President of the United States of America is going to go to the man who pulled me to the side and made me hunger for success with a three minute conversation.

That's pretty cool.  I've been asking some people I know if any of them have actually met Trump and gotten an idea of what he's like in person.  I stand by what I said about him being rude and so forth, but don't let that convince you that I can't see the good parts of a person as well as the bad.  Thank you for sharing, particularly in an internet environment that's so frothingly anti-Trump.
