The hell it’s meaningless.
If you were a “billionaire tycoon”, would you contribute to them and consider it nothing?
The Clinton Foundation was established to ostensibly help rebuild Haiti after the quake. GW was over there with Billy Jeff ginning up the support. I’m sure many many people gave large donations for that cause. A guy like Trump has people approaching everyday with their hand out for some charity or another. He probably gives out several million a year in charity.
You and I think $100,000 is a lot of money. To Donald Trump its chump change. I’m sorry to tell you this is just not an issue.
If you don’t like Trump as a GOP candidate because he doesn’t beat the drum agains’t gay marriage hard enough or hes’s not picketing abortion clinisc then OK that’s fine but this is just not a good reason.
I’ll refer you to Georgia Girl 2, at post 58.
Regards.
GG, you aren’t educating me on anything...sorry to tell you. My inlaws have done well for themselves-—certainly not to Trump’s level-—but they’ve worked their behinds off in a blue collar business and reaped the rewards. They get requests for donations all the time.
They give only to those who are in line with their conservative Christian principles.
And for the record, you can take your snark about social issues and shove it. It’s true, I have no use for the queer agenda or for babykilling. If those things are something you can let ride, I consider it your problem, but it’s up to you.
I don’t like Trump because he’s a shyster and a liberal who pulls this run-for-presidency foolishness every four years. He feeds off the attention and the ego-stroking, and it amuses him to pull one over on the rubes. Again.
Sorry you fell for it.
Yeah, you’re “referring” me because you didn’t know how to answer me the two or three times I asked you previously. Convenient, huh?
Well the likelihood that Donald Trump is going to run for President is quite high. I’m fairly sure that if he does he is going to have a large impact on the GOP nomination as many people like his message.
Its important when throwing labels around to be somewhat accurate about it. You seem to be trying to make Trump a liberal because he gave $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. That’s just not a good reason. Rich people give money to all kinds of charities for various reasons.
Donald Trump is a Christian (Presbyterian) unless he’s just lying over and over about it.
I’d like to know what you have been able to glean from the many speeches and interviews Trump has given in the last few years that make him a Liberal. I don’t get that take on him at all.
I guess Donald Trump has fooled both me and Mark Levin. But he can’t fool you. :-)
Oh, nonsense. He'll amuse himself until his line of BS runs out of steam, and he'll drop out.
"Its important when throwing labels around to be somewhat accurate about it. You seem to be trying to make Trump a liberal because he gave $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. That’s just not a good reason. Rich people give money to all kinds of charities for various reasons."
I thought I already made it clear to you that no, not all people with money toss their principles.
You're right...it is important to be accurate about "labels." We should also avoid making stupid assumptions.
Do a little research of your own into New York's own P.T. Barnum. In the past, he has endorsed universal health care; admitted that he's "pro-choice" and wants the issue of abortion removed from politics; would approve raising taxes on the highest earners; believes the economy does better under Democrats; and, last but not least, he's stated that he identifies more as a Democrat than a Republican.
But he'll get his advisors to come up with some good meat to throw to the few conservative suckers who are willing to listen to his crap....he'll mouth the right words and they'll buy into it. A shame, really.
"Donald Trump is a Christian (Presbyterian) unless he’s just lying over and over about it."
How can one be a Christian and approve of abortion?
The Presbyterian church sanctions & performs queer marriage, so it has zero influence with me.
"I’d like to know what you have been able to glean from the many speeches and interviews Trump has given in the last few years that make him a Liberal. I don’t get that take on him at all."
Well, GG, I did my own research rather than listen to the line he spoon-feeds the public. See above.
"I guess Donald Trump has fooled both me and Mark Levin. But he can’t fool you. :-)"
So you're one of those conservatives who form your opinion from radio hosts? I prefer to think for myself. If a radio host confirms what I know to be true, I agree with him...if he doesn't, I dismiss his opinion.
Don't get me wrong...Mark is a brilliant man and he's probably my favorite of the bunch. But he's not infallible. He can be wrong. You don't think otherwise, do you?
Go to Trump's own words to find out what he is.
“Go to Trump’s own words to find out what he is. “
Actually Trumps words are out there in multiple speeches and inteviews. Over 8 years they stay pretty much the same.
1. Bring the manufacturing jobs back from overseas. Balance the trade deficit by forcing China, Japan etc to stop manipulating their currencies.
2. Get rid of Obamacare in totality and yes Trump does believe it can be replaced with a better plan that is affordable. As he said the other day there are many plans out there will do the job. Most of them by Republicans such as Dr. Tom Price of GA. I’d like to see some of these alternative plans.
3. Stengthen our military and improve our relations with our allies. Get tough with our enenmies. Wipe out ISIS.
4. Take control of our relationship with the Saudi’s and OPEC
5. Control the border by actually building the fence and keeping the illegals out.
Its all so liberal. :-)
"Its all so liberal. :-)"
Supports abortion.
Supports higher taxes.
Thinks Democrats are better for the economy.
Self-identifies as a Democrat, except when putting one over on the rubes.
Yeah...liberal IS the word, all right.
Well if Trump does decide to run I look forward to your ongoing righteous outrage over his Liberal desire to make America great again. Damn that guy. :-)
You do that.
And I'll make note of your willful dismissal of his leftwing stances in favor of some foolish notion that a liberal stunt-puller could somehow "make America great."
Barnum was more correct than he knew.
Hopefully Cruz will move there as well, the sooner the better.
