Is Donald Trump Pulling A Nigerian 419 Scam?
James Altucher ^ | July 20, 2015 | James Altucher

I'm sort of breaking my promise here. No news. Why no news? Because the news you read is almost always by uninformed reporters and is totally irrelevant in 99.999% of the cases.

Example: Greece has not paid a single debt since Rome took over in 146 BC. And yet, everyone keeps asking me about Greece.

News flash: They will borrow more money, and AGAIN they will not pay their debts. Nor should they.

Greece is a subsidized beach resort, healthy food, etc but they aren't a real country - (sorry in advance to anyone offended by this) and then in three years, for less than the cash Google has in the bank, the entire world will figure out another way to bail them out.

That's all you ever need to know about Greece. By the way, when I was living in Astoria, New York (all Greeks) I learned the rules to the three ways they play backgammon there.

When Trump is around the press is like watching a bunch of scorpions stinging themselves in the head out of frustration of not knowing what to do.

Trump is showing the press is a paper tiger armed with commas and paper and nothing more.

I like your instincts. I lean toward all what you said but you know how the electorate always gets scammed by TPTB.

I am battle fatigued with blacklivesmatterracismhomophobiawaronwomensexism-itis so I will wade slowly into the shallow end with the Donald. I hope he is everything I think he could be. That would be good for us. Some real hope and change from the abysmal trench America is in.

By the way I am a female and am tired of the above. What does that say about how putrid American politics has become?

Hillary isn’t terrified, Hillary isn’t paralyzed, Hillary basically just doesn’t have a soul.

She’s in her own little world and could give a damn what anyone thinks, outside of giving enough of a damn to get what she wants out of them.

She looks at the rest of us and just sort of weighs us by potential usefulness to her I think.

The man who thinks her “stand by my man” act is a good thing isn’t looking hard enough.

” I have to wonder...he’s run before..only to dropnout. .. “

WRONG

” I never for a moment think .. “

CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFORE OPENING MOUTH, SueRae.

” .. I get the distinct feeling .. “

It works better with THINKING, rather than FEELING.

[ just a little helpful advice you could use ]

That is surprising...that Cruz hasn’t filed his paperwork...and has asked for an extension. Maybe it’s nothing out of the ordinary?

Plenty of folks around here were certain Trump would NOT file his paperwork on time, yet he did.

Can you imagine how many are going to watch the first debates Aug. 6th? There was an article that recently appeared that stated that everyone in the press wants to interview Trump because he is a “ratings bonanza.” What other candidate is considered a ratings bonanza? I saw the latest Anderson Cooper interview of Trump and was amazed that Anderson was prim and proper and respectful. Why? Because Trump is a ratings bonanza and he wants more interviews and treats him respectfully otherwise Trump will tell him to take a hike. I was blown away at this interview.

I was thinking he was waiting until the last minute to see what others have in their financials. Maybe he thinks he has a competitive advantage by waiting.

That sums it up pretty well. I think a lot of us overlook that aspect of Trump.

Way for the dude to pimp his blog. Title had nothing to do with the rest of the post.

‘No thanks’ on giving him a hit for that garbage.

Well I could be catty and say Anderson Cooper 418 was maybe star struck and angling for a date with the Donald.

That’s a good point...the advantage angle. Keeps folks guessing, if nothing else ;)

Did the article even get to correlating a 419 scam to Trump? Didn’t think so. Just trying to smear him.

I know was thinking same. Anderson might be looking for a sugar daddy and is fantasizing.

Trump stated that if he drops out, he will endorse no one.


I don’t fall for it. Sorry, I trust none of them. None.

Or, we might be pleasantly surprised and he endorses Cruz or Walker.

It’s one crazy, tangled mess.
