    Would you take your life savings and go into business with Donald Trump?

    newsflash - to a lot of Americans, that in and of itself is. Massive win. Believe it or not, not being an uneducated, megalomaniacal,
    malignant narcissist motivated by nothing other than self-interest is a major win for most sane people.

    If I were running for President and I promised to, then yes, I would. If it were necessary in some other facet of my life to show I wasn't financially gaining where my personal decisions were impactful in a public arena, then yes, I would.

    LOL... your defense of trump is almost humorous and your attempt to personalize it is telling... but LOL, no, I am not a saint. I have sinned and will continue to sin. Its the very nature of being a Christian.

    But... where trump and I differ (for space and time I will focus simply on a few differences):
    • I have never cheated on my wife (or in trump's case, wives) with a stripper, with a Playboy model, while my wife was home having justy given birth to my child
    • I have never been accused of sexual assault
    • I am a regular church attendee, I host a weekly men's Bible study and my wife and I host a bi-weekly couple's Bible study
    • I have read the Bible (in fact, on a summer long Bible study to read the Bible cover to cover)
    • While I am sure over time I have told lies, I don't lie continually
    • I haven't consorted with criminals throughout my life
    And Joe Biden could also write the same list (well, to be honest, I don't know if Joe and his wife host Bible studies).

    Strongly agree with this post. Anyone going into a position of such immense public trust should make it known how how much they are worth and where they are making their money.

    The stakes here are way too great and Trump's own behavior as President shows why. He's made many decisions that coincidentally seem to benefit his family business. He's he likes the Saudis because they bought a lot of his toys and has made many policy moves that favor the Saudis. In several of those cases over the objections of a Republican Congress. Right there should tell the importance of knowing what sort of business relationship and benefit Trump has and is getting from Saudis.

    Pathetic:

    "So then I finish saluting my final salute, I said, “Thank goodness. Thank you very much.” Think of it. So essentially almost 600 times. Now the general says, “Sir, are you ready?” I said, “I’m ready General, where are we going now?” You have to understand I left early in the morning to get there. Now it’s sort of late in the afternoon. A lot of these fakers were with us. So they know. He said, ” Sir, we can now leave the stage.” I said, “Great general, let’s go, I’ll follow you,” and he goes like this, “Right here, sir,” and I walked off. The stage was higher than this one and the ramp was probably 10 yards long. I say, “General.” Now you got to understand, I have the whole corps of cadets looking at me and I want them to love their president, I did this big thing. I love them, I love them. They’re incredible, and they do. I said, “General, I’ve got myself a problem, general.” Because I’m wearing leather bottom shoes which is good if you’re walking on flat surfaces. It’s not good for ramps and if I fall down, look at all those press back there, look at them. This was a steel ramp, you all saw it because everybody saw it. This was a steel ramp. It had no handrail, it was like an ice skating rink, and I said, “General, I have a problem,” and he didn’t understand that at first. I said, “There’s no way.” He understood, I just saluted almost 600 times. I just made a big speech. I sat for other speeches. I’m being baked. I’m being baked like a cake. I said, “General, there’s no way I can make it down that ramp without falling on my ass, General. I have no railing.”

    Donald Trump: (29:27)
    It’s true. So I said, “Is there like something else around?” “Sir, the ramp is ready to go.” “Grab me sir, grab me.” I didn’t really want to grab him. You know why? Because I said, “That will be a story too.” So now I have a choice. I can stay up there for another couple of hours and wait till I’m rescued or I can go down this really steep, really, really, really … It’s an ice skating rink, it’s brutal. So I said, “General, get ready because I may grab you so fast.” Because I can’t fall with the fake news watching. If I fall, if I fall, I remember when President Ford fell out of the plane, do you remember? I remember when another president, nice man, threw up in Japan, and they did slow motion replays. It’s true, right? “I don’t want that, general.” Now he’s standing there, big strong guy, and he’s got these shoes but they’re loaded with rubber on the bottom because I looked, the first thing I did, I looked at his shoes. Then I looked at mine. Very, very slippery. So I end up saying, “Okay, general, let’s go. I will only grab you if I need you. That’s not a good story. Falling would be a disaster. It turned out to be worse than anything, I would have been better off if I fell and slid down the damn ramp. Right? So what happens is I start the journey, inch by inch, right? I was really bent over too. I didn’t like that. I didn’t like this picture. This picture I’m sure will be an ad by the fakers. So I was bent over, right? Bent over like this. Then we finally reached almost the end and the fake news, the most dishonest human beings, they cut it off. You know why? Because when I was 10 feet short, I said, “General, I’m sorry,” and I ran down the rest, right? I looked very handsome. That was the only good. I wouldn’t want to run down the whole thing because the fall there would be definitely bad. So I took these little steps, I ran down the last 10, and by the way their tape, take a look. In almost every instance, it ends just before I run, and they said, “Here was the number one trending story.”"

    I would call Trump’s ego his Achilles heel except Achilles was only vulnerable in that heel. Trump is vulnerable all over...you could say he’s all heel.

    Hold on.
    He doesn't draw a POTUS wage.
    He has accountants and lawyers on his payroll to do his taxes.

    I wonder what tax deductions he gets from "donating" his salary?

    More important... how many millions do you think trump trump has gotten from his businesses that have benefited from his presidency?

    Hopefully we will start to find out as the court is expected to rule this week...

    For the most part, I don't think he is donating to 5013c. If he was then we would be paying him twice. Once for his salary and the second for the tax deduction

    I cannot get enough about reading about what an embarrassing failure this rally is - I want to say schaudenfreude but I feel no shame for this.
