Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I don't disagree but the key phrase is "people think they are". How does a "great businessman lose 1,000,000,000 owning a casino?

 

I've seen interviews with Trump and at least one of his sons being questioned on that point. It isn't a blind trust.

 

It's not as easy as it used to be, now that almost every state has allowed some form of legalized gambling as a cure-all. Markets are becoming saturated, just like any other business. Atlantic City has especially been crushed by Delaware and Pennsylvania getting into the game.
We got riverboat gambling in my state about 20 years ago, and there have been four casinos at any given time. Only one of those has kept the same ownership since it opened.

 

Didn't Hillary claim to be "broke" after the Clintons left the White House? And in the past 15 years she's parlayed a $200,000 a year civil service job in one of the most expensive cities in the country into about $30 million of net worth.
Guess she's a hell of a businesswoman, doing that while not taking advantage of any inside information, tax loopholes or tax breaks.

 

Hmmmm ... So Hillary's $200,000 annual income was all that was coming in to the family in that time? Did she have any side projects, perhaps something she wrote? Did her husband make any money?

 

Well, the shakedown racket she was operating as a charitable foundation qualifies as a side project. I'll give you that.

 

You're being stupid on purpose now.

 

I mostly just get annoyed with the holier than thou attitude Hillary and a lot of her supporters exude when it comes to shady dealings. Trump is sleazy, but she's no better. In fact, she might be worse. Trump is an asshole out to make a buck. Hillary is an asshole out to make a buck while taking advantage of her political positions to do it, and getting furious and vindictive whenever anyone dares question her about it.

 

Then you should be able to make that case without lying about it.

However, "Trump is sleazy, but she's no better" is in fact an impossible case to make, so I can see why you'd have to ignore many pertinent facts to get there.

 

Deal with it.By decree the media has decided that Hillary will be our next president. From here on not a disparaging word to be written

 

She's the Mitch McConnell of Democrats

 

If the taxes thing is going to have traction, it will be because Trump has tweeted about non-payers in the past.
