No one twisted their arms to deal with Trump. They wanted to use his names and had to pay for it. If they can’t run their business better it’s not Trump’s fault.

“Art of The Deal” explained how deals are put together, and RISK SHARED, a long, long time ago.

Sheesh! That’s how business works. You line up investors who want to take the risk.

Gosh like stock brokers, investment bankers, 401 K plan administrators, pension plan administrators,etc. But there is only one Trump running for President so let’s single him out, it’s not as if you could say Fiorina was very good at losing other people’s money.............oh wait, yes you can.

If Jeff Sessions’s immigration and free-trade stances are the future of the GOP, it has no future (code for: Rand Paul is doomed in 2016)

Of course you are Sam. My post is just a preemptive *thwack* to the Trump-hating minions that will flock to this thread like termites to a freshly built lumber yard, lol

Hmmmm..... From where I sit Trump has given more people jobs and kept them employed than any of the rinos on capitol hill not to mention the trillions of dollars Boehner and his little band of gop misfits have helped obama spend of OUR and OUR spawn's money over the last nine years.

I think people need to back off of trump. If we want a good economy we need trump. If you don't like a productive USA move your sorry arse to Greece and leave us the BLEEP alone.

Great!

Then as Chief Executive he, and his appointed inner circle, will be saving and/or making tons of money we otherwise wouldn’t have. The good Lord knows we need it.

Trump’s the kind of guy we want negotiating on OUR side, for our benefit. With a President Trump, the taxpayers win; the Americans win.

If Jerome really doesn’t see the benefit here, particularly given the state this country is now in, he needs help.

I doubt you’ll get much discussion...usually one gets creamed if saying anything about Trump that isn’t favorable. The hype has to die down before reasonable debate and vetting can occur regarding him.
