      Robert's View


       Dallas, Texas: February 19, 2006
          Once again, on Sunday afternoon, the black limo pulls up to the
       backstage entrance ofThe Learning Annex's Real Estate Expo. Once again.
       the excitement builds as word spreads, "The Donald is here." And once
       again, the police escort comes in first to clear the way, two lines form, and
       Mr. Trump walks the gauntlet ofadoring fans.
          After about an hour, after the press has left, Donald asks me, "How big
       is the audience, and how are they?"
          "Tens ofthousands in attendance, and they're a great group. People have
       come from all over the world to be here this weekend. They're very excited
       about learning and hungry for knowledge."
          I was excited, too - but for different reasons.

          Since our last meeting, I had read Donald's book, The America UTe
          Deserve. The book addresses many ofthe problems we face as a nation
          and as a world, such as terrorism, the national debt and healthcare. The
          following are excerpts from his chapter on the healthcare issue.

              "The U.S. government's General Accounting Office, an objective
             investigative arm ofthe Congress, paints an ugly picture:

              "Unlike Social Security, Medicare's HI program has been
             experiencing a cashflow deficit since 1992 - current payroll taxes
             and other revenues have been insufficient to cover benefit payments
