I'm fully convinced Trump does NOT want to be president. It was a PR stunt which went much further than anyone anticipated, including himself.

Pretend if you're Trump. You're the king of your domain. You tell people what to do, you take vacations for however long to wherever you want on a whim.

If Trump becomes a president, he now has to deal with all these politicians day & night and lose sleep over it. The whole WORLD will be watching his every step. Why would he want that?

His resorts, hotels, other crap are too expensive for the type of person he's appealing to in this election.

His brand already had a bit of a niche even before the election. Too expensive for most people, but too gaudy for wealthy people with taste.

No, not really. His dad had many children and so the businesses he was borrowing from were not only taken against his own inheritance but that of his siblings. More importantly though, his dad actually owned the business and money that Trump was borrowing as he was still alive and would be for a long time in the future. If my mom loaned me money I certainly wouldn't say it was the same thing as me writing myself a check.

Trump was heir to the throne, president of father's company, etc. Daddy certainly thought it was all in the family when jr needed money.


Yeah, I made a personal decision, swore to myself a few days ago, I'd avoid anything Trump... a hotel, a golf course, wine, ties, what have you. It was gratifying last night to see on NBC world news that 40% of the American public is making that same vow.
Good post, sensible and to the point. It angers me deeply that the Republicans have demonized Hillary unjustly from the beginning. To me, they have pretty much lost credibility. I can't think of a single Republican who I admire. Even Carson is endorsing Trump, he must be utterly without integrity.

Edit: I will add that Scion is a really really dumb name for a hotel chain.

Doesn't matter how many people won't buy your shit as long as many loyal customers do. He's obviously going to need more downmarket crap to sell, but as noted numerous times his fan base is hardly poor with a household income >70k.

Unfortunately a bit late to contact the campaign so they can parade you along with the black guy at the rallies.

Lol! This guy?

According to Miami New Times, Michael “was accused of two gruesome Yahweh murders in the ’90s and has since been charged with — but never convicted of — four other felonies while starting his own bizarre religious enterprise.”

Michael has since reinvented himself as a musician, according to the New Times, which described him as “an anti-gay, anti-liberal preacher with a golden instinct for getting on TV at GOP events.”

During the 2012 Republican primary race, Rick Santorum invited Michael to open his campaign rally in Coral Springs, Florida. What started out as an unlistenable jazz setdevolved into an unhinged rant in which Michael called the Democrats Nazis.

“The Democrats, they’re the worst thing that ever happened to the black man,” Michael told the crowd. “They’re the slave masters.”

I don't know if IGBT can top him but I'm sure he's of the same fabric.

In all fairness Mexico/hispanic also has its spectrum of ethnicity from Blanca to Indígena, not surprisingly similarly tied to socioeconomic status.

Or maybe someone thinks Property and Brand is played out but massive new Multi Media Empire strokes ego, wallet and heirs.

From a business standpoint, you want to maximize profits. In order to maximize profits, it means Democrats (e.g. shitlibs) also patronizing your businesses (i.e. nonpartisan). So this makes sense from a business perspective since Trump is now a trigger point for shitlibs. In order to trick the shitlibs into giving you money, you need to remove all of their trigger points. It's business 101.

Trump didn't have to go into politics and become a trigger point but he cares about where this country is headed and you have to respect that. Even at the risk of it hurting business.

John Stewart gets it right.
Wow, what happened to you bro? Linking to jon stewart who is bought and paid for by globalists? Looks like the shitlib echo chamber here (and/or bought out media) got to you.

Is Trump a flawed candidate? Yes. Is he better than the alternative? Yes. I choose nationalism over globalism any day of the week.

Trump has proven he's globalist by purchasing Chinese steel for his buildings and employing foreign workers through the use of h1b visas and avoiding paying income taxes so put your Kool Aid away.

Trump isn't even well versed enough to give a speech without resorting to making fun of people or degrading them in some way. His actions are always done with his own benefit in mind first. Trump sees people as a commodity for consumption and would treat the country the same way if given the chance.
