One man's opinion re Donald Trump

[Miles Long]

LOL....Miles you have to admit, American politics is more interesting than daytime soap operas like As the World turns....etc.

Yup, in particular this election, Eric.
And because it's more like a soap opera... or a reality show ...is precisely why Trump - the showman, the carnival barker (i.e., P.T. Barnam, of "There are suckers born everyday" fame) - is able to pull the wool over so many people's eyes.
Also, American politics MUCH more interesting than Canadian. Sure, our politicians sometimes have a little spat, sometimes even calling each other bad names ("Maple syrup sucker", for instance), BUT the very next day in Parliament, a formal apology is given, both verbal and written, and both Liberal and Conservatives have a huge group hug.
Then they create a multi-year Royal Commission, at taxpayer's expense of course, to study Parliamentary etiquette, or lack thereof.:biglaugh:
Cheers!

Jerry Springer should host these debates in old-school fashion complete with flying chairs and mind-numbing absurdity. Even though this election carries some dire consequences there is no way to not see some humor in this fiasco.

I want to see a bare knuckle cage fight between the two leading candidates since we have already gotten away from debates containing any substance suitable for anything other than reality TV.:boxing00:


May I come to Canada if I promise to leave Beiber here? unk:

Well Hell, we all know that Hillary would win then, we all know that she fights dirty :bang head:

 

[DJ89MAX]

If I had to vote between a sasquatch and Hillary Clinton, I'd be yelling, "Go Big Foot!" Sorry, Dems, I agree with the Anybody But Clinton slogan. We're already on a freight train to hell, we don't need Hillary's nonsense to speed it up!

If Hillary wins, we'll have to move to Fallujah, Iraq so we can start getting used to what America is about to become like! A.B.C.

Agreed !!!

To me, Ben Carson endorsing Trump speaks volumes. He's seen past the hot air, that most haven't. Hillary is a criminal and should even be considered:damn angry:

 

[caseyjones955]

Ben Carson also understands A.B.C. I suspect at this point they are simply trying to pry the white house from democratic grip at any cost.

I can't argue this point, but IMO Carson is the most moral, ethical guy in that group. When he's positive about who trump is, I take a lot more notice.

For sure....and been a criminal for a long time.....among several other character flaws! Pretty sure it's what's keeping that whacko Sanders in the ring....that one of those legal time bombs attached to Clinton will detonate before November and give him a shot at the title.

Absolutely Dan....."Go BigFoot"!! :clapping::clapping::clapping:

 

[Tex85]

Best thing that could happen...

Hillary gets nomination and Bernie makes a run as an independent. Split the liberals like they did with the conservatives and the tea party previously. This would guarantee a Republican in the white house allowing things to start swinging back towards center.

I dislike Fox news almost as much as I dislike Chump, er, Trump. I am completely flabbergasted that Trump has gotten as far as he has. As if this country is not in bad enough shape, we need a reality TV persona as President? And one that is a lousy businessperson at that?
What has this country come to?!?!

From Time Magazine:

Trump Airlines

In 1988, Trump bought Eastern Air Shuttle, an airline service that ran hourly flights between Boston, NYC and DC for 27 years prior, for $365 million. He turned the airline, once a no frills operation, into a luxury experience, adding maple-wood veneer to the floor and gold-colored bathroom fixtures. The company never turned a profit and the high debt forced him to default on his loans. Ownership of the company was turned over to creditors. It ceased to exist in 1992.



Trump Vodka

Trump unveiled his own vodka line in 2006 paired with the characteristic slogan “Success Distilled.” Advertising for the product claimed that the vodka would “demand the same respect and inspire the same awe as the international legacy and brand of Donald Trump himself.” Trump had high hopes for his liquor brand, predicting that the T&T (Trump and Tonic) would become the most ordered drink in the country and stating on Larry King Live that he got into the vodka business to outdo “his friends” at Grey Goose. The company stopped production in 2011, reportedly due to a lack of interest.


Trump Casinos

Trump Entertainment Resorts, which is composed of three Trump-owned casinos, all in Atlantic City, filed for bankruptcy for the fourth time in 2014. Trump has distanced himself from the company, saying that besides the company having his name, he has “nothing to do with it,” despite the fact that he owned 28% of its stock.



Trump: The Game

Trump launched a Monopoly-like board game in 1989, which was discontinued a year later due to lack of interest. He tried his hand at game making once again in 2005, when he launched an updated version tied to The Apprentice. It was also discontinued.



Trump Magazine

Trump launched an eponymous magazine in 2007 that, in a press release announcing the publication’s arrival, was described as “[reflecting] the passions of its affluent readership by tapping into a rich cultural tapestry.” A year and a half after the launch, the magazine ceased publication.


Trump Steaks

Donald Trump was featured on the June 2007 cover of the Sharper Image catalogue hunched over a platter of meat to kick off his line of premium steaks that he dubbed the “world’s greatest.” The company has since been discontinued—maybe it had something to do with the Trump Steakhouse in Las Vegas being closed down in 2012 for 51 health code violations, including serving five-month old duck.



GoTrump.com

Trump launched this luxury travel search engine in 2006, only to shut it down a year later, despite being powered by booking giant Travelocity.



Trump University

In 2005, Trump opened the non-accredited, for-profit Trump University. In 2010, four students sued the university for “offering classes that amounted to extended ‘infomercials.’” Following the suit, the “university” changed its name to “The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative,” before ending operations one year later. In 2013, the New York Attorney General sued Trump and the “university” for $40 million for allegedly defrauding students.



Trump Mortgage

In 2006, Trump forayed further into the real estate industry, launching a mortgage company. The Donald had high hopes for the company, asking CNBC, “Who knows more about financing than me?” Trump Mortgage shut down within a year and a half, in part because Trump selected E.J. Ridings, a man who claimed to be a top executive at a prestigious investment bank but had actually only worked on Wall Street as a registered broker for six days, to run the company.
