If Trump started with nothing then you might have something. He started with a million bucks his dad gave him. If he'd put that money in a mutual fund he'd be a lot wealthier than he is today. He has a string of bankruptcies behind him and his business model seems to be to refuse to pay his bills after getting work done.
Wise up FFS

In fairness there are numerous occasions of bankruptcies and also unpaid debts which he seemingly just ignores, this isn't to take away from his riches but he has failed alot of people in money that he owes them over the years.
I can't see how he can be rated as a good businessman, perhaps a showman yes but he is not the brains of the operation.

About ten years ago I worked for a small company that did a lot of work for big NY real estate outfits, but refused to do business with Trump because he'd stiffed them a few times. And they were far from alone, according to the numerous stories that came out in the campaign.

Not only did Trump stiff them, he then got them blackballed because they sued.Put them out of business

Foxy,
Wholeheartedly agree about the point scoring on both sides.

Though why you all still care about Hilary is beyond me. It's over, she lost. So what if it's 5 days later, private uninvolved citizen at this point?

The pious w**kers crack me up too,  and if anyone on this board wants to see a hypocrite, look in the mirror, we are human and we justify our own shit to ourselves. But closet politicians being hard on the gay community, socialists with Swiss bank accounts, family first advocates with mistresses, don't make hypocrisy your job.

I think the biggest issue with Hillary is the fact she has made herself a self appointed champion of women (glass ceiling etc). I'm glad she finally made a statement but I don't think she really had a choice in this instance but to stick in the knife.
As for the private citizen comment  - If you've been following her book tour you'll find that it's turned into a "why did I lose" tour and she hasn't quite given up hope of ousting President Trump to take the white house - especially if they can find anything in the russia probe (which is BS). She's still battling away for the democrats (even it they don't want her to)

There's a lot of Hollywood scrambling right now and will be sweating it that they are next on the chopping block. Ben Affleck has been first up defending himself for historic behaviour. There's bound to be more.

Not that Hollywood should be used as a moral compass or anything. It's amazing how all this has been kept in house for so long, especially in that industry. The fact that you've had so many celebrities condemning Trump and backing democrats/Clinton while at the same time keeping these big secrets is what really stands out.

It's an open goal for republicans and in recent times they have hardly been in the opponents half.
Every second of the day there's a Democrat telling a lie

Interestingly Hegan I just found this article

https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2017/1013/912172-hillary-clinton-harvey-weinstein/

Democrats deflecting the Weinstein scandal by using Trump as a comparison.
But not Bill, he was innocent LOL :D

They won't allow weinstein to hang on his own merits. Politics at it's best.

"I think he's crazy," Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) confided to his colleague Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in a July exchange inadvertently caught on a microphone. ("I'm worried," she replied.) CNN's Don Lemon, flabbergasted after a Trump speech last month, concluded that "he's unhinged. . . . There was no sanity there." Even some Republicans have grown more blunt, with Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.) recently suggesting that Trump "has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence" to succeed as president

Are you talking about the same unpartisan Don Lemon from CNN ?

He's a liberal repeater. Fake news merchant.
and more besides.

With all the Weinstein carry on in the press this week, who told trump that it was a good idea to retweet Bill O Reilly?
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

The same Trump who just retweeted a "man" who got fired from his job at Fox News for multiple instances of sexual harassment and was required to pay out $13million in settlements to 5 women.

And a week later ..... the same President that called O'Reilly a "good guy" and "I don't think he did anything wrong" 



Stew will be along shortly to shout Hillary, Obama, CNN, MSNBC shortly

QuotePresident Donald Trump, speaking to The New York Times in an interview from the Oval Office, defended Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, after reports surfaced that O'Reilly and Fox News settled five claims accusing him of sexual harassment.

"I think he's a person I know well — he is a good person," Trump said, according to the Times. "I think he shouldn't have settled; personally I think he shouldn't have settled. Because you should have taken it all the way. I don't think Bill did anything wrong."

No he wont, Trump is as bad as Weinstein in my opinion, that's the difference in us, one of us ( Me)  can see a thing how it is and say how it is, the other, (You) are a liberal apologist who is blinded by the liberal media,

I have no gra for snowflakes and apologists, you sadly are both Gab!

Interesting how you ignore the other part of his post!

As hominem attack on Don Lemon. Yeah, that'll refute the valid comments on the behaviour of the great orange infant. ;D

Lemon is a gay black man - not hard to see why Fox isn't a fan of him.

Liberals seem to thing that the entire country is hanging on every word of people like Don Lemon and Jimmy Kimmel.
