1. You call yourself an "ardent philanthropist," but have not donated a dollar to The Donald J. Trump Foundation since 2006. You're not even the biggest donor to the foundation, having given about $3.7 million in the previous two decades while businesses associated with Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment gave the Trump Foundation $5 million. All the money since 2006 has come from those doing business with you.
5. The biggest gift you have talked about appears to be an easement at the Palos Verdes, California, golf course bearing your name on land you wanted to build houses on, but that land is subject to landslides and is now the golf course driving range.
Did you or one of your businesses take a tax deduction for this land that you could not build on and do you think anyone should get a $25 million tax deduction for a similar self-serving gift?
6. Trump Tower is not a steel girder high rise, but 58 stories of concrete.
Why did you use concrete instead of traditional steel girders?
7. Trump Tower was built by S&A Concrete, whose owners were "Fat" Tony Salerno, head of the Genovese crime family, and Paul "Big Paul" Castellano, head of the Gambinos, another well-known crime family.
If you did not know of their ownership, what does that tell voters about your management skills?

The first question I don’t know the answer. I don’t think so. The second question: Yes, but the construction techniques in the 3rd world would not be acceptable here. This video made the rounds at arch firms a few years ago.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6WCCOpr9aPc
My parents knew some of the folks involved. I’ll take their first-hand accounts over any trash you’ve got.
What questions?
I'm still trying to figure out how and when St Thomas Aquinas became a pervert Hillarybot flying monkey...
Ah yes.
Another MENSA reject demanding that someone prove a negative...
Much as some are demanding of Sen. Cruz. The only problem is that trump’s issues go far deeper. Karma’s a bitch.
How did that work out for the original World Trade Center?
Other architectural and structural foresight can play critical performance roles!
Here's another similar to that... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mctUNUQSJCo
Please, don't stoop to that level. Apparently, there was a legal investigation which didn't lead to Trump being convicted, nor even indicted. I would conclude that there wasn't much to the allegations.
The fact is Trumps openly admitted he hangs with bad guys...â€some very bad guys’...as he said.
If Trump were mobbed-up and is (or had been) involved in illegal activities, do you really think he would advertise associations that would call attention to the fact?
I haven't even decided if I would vote for Trump in my solidly-red state if he were the nominee, but these allegations are pretty lame.
Ask him. You’re a person, right? Ask him.
Hey, how about you prove- you ain’t a mob pocket puzzle, from some union meat head.
Where in the world, is that true?
I am very interested in what you stated- “Most buildings are designed for jet fuel fires.”
Candidates answer the questions they want to answer. Especially trump. Unlikely to get the truth out of him.
Are NOT I meant.
I’m not at all stooping...What I wrote is very true...many Mobsters have been guilty, and for that matter criminals in general, who have escaped even being indicted yet were guilty of crimes. We all know the courts are often equally as corrupt as well.
Furthermore... Trump’s running as a pro-cop, anti-thug “law-and-order” candidate who has denounced rioters in Baltimore and Ferguson and vowed to “get rid of gang members so fast your head will spin.” ......so you can bet if he’s “dirty” it will be an issue in the election.
Trumps already refereed to such...though of course not by name....as well as saying he’s used so called “loopholes” to obtain what he’s wanted as well as other means used for leverage.
Further ,as we know, Trump running as a pro-cop, anti-thug “law-and-order” candidate. He’s denounced rioters in Baltimore and Ferguson and vowed to “get rid of gang members so fast your head will spin.”
Says you. Why?
Are you more truthful than him- when you directly innuendo phony answers from him?
Candidate’s answers mean- What to you? Your scribble board for misdirected emotional expressions?
No further comment...
I was doing several things at once. I meant NOT designed....
I said three thinhs. The first is a truism, and applies especially to trump. I hope that is uncontroversial, as it merely means he thinks well on his feet. The third is easily deduced.
If he is mobbed up, he is unlikely to admit it. And the evidence strongly suggests that conclusion. So, it is unlikely to get the truth from him.
As well, as already seen in his actual testimony, either he’s in competant or a liar. The excuses to the contrary remind me of clinton. In the face of damning evidence, the cry goes up, “yeah, but that doesn’t prove anything.”
What does “mobbed up” mean?
mobbed up
You have many ties to the Italian mafia, though you deny it.
Yea, that strip joint is mobbed up!
