I guess, IF he wanted to make himself look even more foolish.
I had an uncle who ran a very successful construction business, but he always got someone else to do the paperwork due to dyslexia.
he is trump.. he can say anything.. we can just hope to god that he is right most times
get numbers right and he exaggerates the facts, but one thing you can count on him for is that he speaks like normal, every day people, doesn't use a teleprompter, doesn't give canned and memorized sound-bite statements, and knows how to spend as little as possible using the best contractors, builders, and materials available and still make a profit (that's called efficiency and good business sense). Those are qualities that many in the USA are looking for because previous politicians have promised much and delivered little, if anything, in too many years........and the voters' memories are long and lasting.
The "I'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore" attitude is what is driving this election, even more than the 2010 election did.
Lies?
doesn't give canned and memorized sound-bite statements
Who has to "memorize" .........hhuuuuge, amazing, great, terrific, Get them out of here!, I love the people of (wherever he's at)?
knows how to spend as little as possible using the best contractors
Contractors connected to the mob and/or illegal immigrants?
Trump all bs and no facts.
“I play to people’s fantasies,” Trump wrote in his 1987 book “The Art of the Deal.” “I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.”
Trump has acknowledged a tendency to get bored easily with business ventures. “The same assets that excite me in the chase, often, once they are acquired, leave me bored,” Trump wrote in one of his books. “For me, you see, the important thing is the getting, not the having.”
Trump has said that he did not know these companies' mafia connections, adding that they were "unbelievably good contractors in terms of doing the work."
the most important part to him, doesn't it seem to you that once he gets what he wants, he goes on to the next negotiation rather than dwell on the past repeatedly like BO does? I personally want that in our leader.
The only foreseeable issue I can see coming from the Democrats should he be elected is that BECAUSE of his business dealings and KNOWING all across the world he ALREADY has the best contractors you can find, ANY Federal contractors who bid on jobs will be scrutinized more heavily for associations to Trump........they will ALL scream "cronyism" like they did with Cheney.....and Dems will try to force substandard contractors rather than have the best of the best. (Doesn't matter that most Federal contractors GET the bids BECAUSE of 'influence' already, and that includes DEMS)
He got tired of his current wife because he already had her. So he goes on to the next one before he leaves his current one.
getting blow jobs in the Oval Office, not to mention his previous affairs....because HE got bored with HilLIARy?
SE back then, I repeatedly said "I don't care what he's doing in his private life as long as he's doing a decent job as President".........and he had a Republican Congress getting him to move to the right.
IF you think you will eventually get me to say who I will end up voting for (or who I already voted for last week), you're wrong because it's really none of your business.
True dat...I can still try.
"I don't care what he's doing in his private life
Does THAT mean someone(Chinese/Russian hacker) hacked your account and made the post under YOUR name about Bill Clinton and blowjobs?
His businesses have gone bankrupt three or four times. He goes into a new business and gets bored with it. How many companies has he started and failed - like steaks, university (getting sued for that one), airlines, mortgages, vacation travel, board games, bottled water, Vodka, just to mention a few.
If he gets bored easily (sounds like ADHD), he's going to hate the Presidency. Most of what the President does is boring.
Wonder if he will be like Sarah Palin and quit in the middle? Keep an eye out for who he picks for VP.
