Of course Trump is full of shit about this, what is it that he is not full of shit about?
The only question is how long can his supporters keep their heads buried in the sand?
Silly question they're Republicans, burying their head in the sand is what they do.
Yeah, but it's OK...none of them gave him anywhere near a million!
ReplyDeleteMy thought, as well. Heck, one guy only coughed up $100,000. Guess Trump is easily influenced?
DeleteOr good head.......
DeleteDonald Trump the "do as I say, not as I do" candidate.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of Trump's supporters are, in a nutshell, too stupid to know they're stupid - http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/a-neuroscientist-explains-what-may-be-wrong-with-trump-supporters-brains/
As for the rest, greed rules all. I mean, what rich person wouldn't support a guy who's going to get rid of the estate/death tax, lower tax rates on the wealthy, cut corporate rates, eliminate federal oversight .... he's a dream come true for the 1%.
It also explains why they cling to guns. They are frightened little people.
DeleteThe fact that they consistently vote against their own best interests confirms their stupidity, doesn't it?
DeleteSince trump says if you donate to a politician you own them and they have to do illegal or unethical things. Why doesn't someone ask what illegal things he got in return for his contributions to all the politicians he gave money to.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to the limit of $2,500 per person that you can contribute to a candidate? I can't believe people are now getting away with contributing that much money to a candidate.
ReplyDeletePoliticians write the laws, pass the laws, then they break the laws themselves, and nobody blinks an eye.
Answer>Citizens United the PAC
Deletehttp://reclaimdemocracy.org/who-are-citizens-united/
Those limits are for individuals donating to a PAC or candidate.
DeleteIndependent Expenditure Committees (SuperPACs) have no limits on what can be donated by individuals or corporations and "Dark Money" groups, non-profits comprised of corporations or industry trade groups, also have no limits on donations or spending.
So those people could not have given that amount of money directly to Trump but given through an organization that is working on his behalf, although SuperPACs and Dark Money groups cannot have any direct contact regarding their activities from the candidate himself. (wink, wink)
SuperPACs must file reports with the FEC listing their donors, but Dark Money groups are not required to, but due to their non-profit status Dark Money organizations must file a tax return.
So with SuperPACs and Dark Money groups the sky is the limit.

OKay, so this is why Hillary wants to do away with Citizens United.
These guys are bundling those smaller donations into a big one. Perfectly legal. And they're being rewarded for being such great fund raisers.

ReplyDeleteSteven Mnuchin came to Los Angeles with a certain New York sheen. ... Mnuchin spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs

Donald Trump and Steven Mnuchin are alike

Donald Trump's Finance Chair Made Billions Off The 2008 Financial Crash

Ha ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteDrumpf's inconsistencies and contradictions are delicious!!
If delicious means 'evidence of an arrogant, deluded, ego-maniacal small-handed dictator-wannabe', that is.
Birds of a feather flocks together .... who Trump and Mnuchin?
ReplyDelete"had a particular talent for dispossessing the homes of senior citizens and people of color,"
Under Mnuchin’s leadership, OneWest “routinely jumped to foreclosure rather than pursue options to keep borrowers in their homes; used fabricated and ‘robo-signed’ documents to secure the evictions; and had a particular talent for dispossessing the homes of senior citizens and people of color,” the New Republic contended.
Maps obtained by the magazine showed that of the 36,382 OneWest California foreclosures between 2009 and 2015, 68 percent occurred in zip codes with a majority non-white population.
Didn't Trump also make money evicting people of color?
TWO WEEKS LATE?
ReplyDeleteIt all would have gone great for Mnuchin if it weren’t for the Occupy movement in Los Angeles.
After it learned of the foreclosures, activists hit Mnuchin’s $26 million Bel Air estate to protest the eviction of a woman forced from her home for being two weeks late on one mortgage payment.
The activists threatened to move the evicted resident’s furniture into Mnuchin’s mansion. Eventually 20 police officers and a helicopter were called in to restore order.
That Trump and Mnuchin are so compassionate
These five blew $1,712,800.00 on a lottery ticket. With about the same odds of winning.....

Two weeks late?
WOMAN MOVE OUT! WE'RE FORECLOSING
Trump has described Mnuchin as “a professional at the highest level with an extensive and very successful financial background.”
ReplyDelete- The Wrap
But don't be a woman two weeks late on one mortgage payment.
That's what Trump admires about him.
DeleteRemember, Trump is a guy that considers himself a successful businessman BECAUSE of all of the bankruptcies he's had. He also considers it good business to low ball and stiff those he hires. The more he screws honest businesses out of goods and services, the more he considers himself to be successful.
Vanity Fair:
ReplyDeleteTHE HEDGE FUNDER WHO BET AGAINST AMERICA IS NOW ADVISING DONALD TRUMP
Trump’s newly announced economic policy team includes John Paulson
Only two of the names on the list, released Friday, are actual economists, one of whom is Stephen Moore. The other 11 are mostly business titans,
The most eyebrow-raising name on the list is John Paulson, the hedge funder who famously bet the American housing market would flop and subprime mortgages would collapse in value—events more colloquially known as the financial crisis that toppled the U.S. economy in 2007. Paulson’s firm, Paulson & Co., made $15 billion that year, while Paulson himself pocketed about $4 billion, or as The Wall Street Journal put it, $10 million a day.

I thought Hillary was joking when she said, five Steves. Haha. It would be interesting to get into Donald's mind and see how it works. Bet it's just bubbly in there. He's probably still thinking about bad things to say about Ted Cruz, the one who didn't bow down for reasons of his own. Trump's tax plan, even the sound of it, is discomfiting.
ReplyDeletePRESIDENT OBAMA DID YOU GET A THANK YOU FROM TRUMP AND FROM SOME OF HIS ECONOMIC ADVISORS?
ReplyDeleteSo the Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump's Economic Advisory Board consists of people who are infamous for making money from the collapse of the United States of America, the financial crisis that toppled the U.S. economy in 2007.
AND NOT EVEN A THANK YOU TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FROM TRUMP AND HIS ADVISORS.
How about thank you President Obama for becoming president in 2008 and spending days and nights trying to and succeeding in keeping America from the great depression in 2008 and helping us make billions of dollars because we bet on America losing.
Love,
Trump and several members of his Economy Advisory Council.
