"I support the Great Lakes. Always have. They're beautiful. They're big. Very deep. Record deepness,” Trump said during his rally in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Thursday night.

“And I'm going to get, in honor of my friends, full funding of $300 million for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative,” he continued.

8. Donald Trump is the Definition of a Politician

Donald Trump is by no means an anti-politician. He is the definition of a politician. He tells people he will do something even as his own policy proposals say he will not do what he said.
