I said protection money - he paid protection money to Dem candidates so that his real estate business wouldn’t face onerous new laws.
He is bashing Obama like nobody’s business. For someone who is part of the elite like he is, part of Hollywood through The Apprentice, that takes stones. He is pretty much ending whatever good will he had. Especially with the BC stuff. That takes guts, and I think it’s worth noting.
Personally I’m tired of the Boehneresque “this was the best we could get” approach. You think Trump would settle for a deal like Boehner did?
If someone is willing to go after Obama and really take it to him and risk the consequences I’ll pay attention.
More to the point of my post though was his money. He instantly erases Obama’s huge financial edge. Obama crushed McCain by 430M in 2008. He’ll likely have a similar edge against any Republican in 2012...except Trump, that is. Trump would neutralize Obama’s biggest strength without dialing one # to raise money. You think the WH and DNC aren’t worried about a guy who makes Obama’s money irrelevant the day he declares?
