Nine Tales of Trump at His Trumpiest: And these just scratch the surface
The Weekly Standard ^ | February 1, 2016 | Matt Labash

Posted on 01/22/2016 8:56:50 AM PST by EveningStar

... After combing my vast Trump archive, as well as contacting Trump sources, I present herewith nine of Trump's Trumpiest moments -- a Trump Moments collage, if you will -- that distill the very essence of the man. Not unlike Trump's tremendous cologne, Success, an inspiring blend of fresh juniper and iced red currant, with rich bottom notes of vetiver, tonka bean, birchwood, and musk. (In a word, "classy.")

One cannot hope to capture Trump's entirety, since he contains multitudes. For instance, sometimes Trump will say he's "really rich," while at others, he'll say he's "very, very rich." That's Trump for you. Just when you think he'll zig, he zags. But as with the Republican primary, sometimes choices just need to be made, no matter how imperfect ...

Moar please. The more the elitists attack Trump the higher he goes in the polls. Can’t say the same for Cruz. LOL.

Isn’t it amazing? All these years they don’t even skirt the issue of Obama’s gaffs that expose him as being the light weight he is. Trump’s gaffe’s are “exposed” by this guy like they’re really important.

Hey, four years of Trump will make great copy for you low lifes...and the comedians out there.

Get used to it...

Trump is sure getting a lot of flak. Must be over the target.

Matt Labash has a knack for humorous creative writing. Funny, funny, funny! Much better than NRO’s hack piece(s).

Matt Labash describes “The Donald” in this comic piece that rivals any other humorous look at the front runner than I’ve read. Hilarious poke.

Here on FR, we have a history of asking for proof when seemingly questionable statements are made.

SO... is what you said just 'your opinion', or do you have any factual proof ?

Google is there for a reason. This is just one of many:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/they-say-they-arrived-in-the-us-illegally-now-theyre-working-on-trumps-dc-hotel/2015/07/06/9a785116-20ec-11e5-84d5-eb37ee8eaa61_story.html

I’ve been a Freeper for about 12 years. What’s your score?

All you have to do is Google, genius. This is one story out of many:

Thanks for the link. I went and read the story.

In almost all cases, the workers claimed they were legal citizens or immigrants. A few said that 'some' have come here illegally and worked hard. The implication was that they were illegals and they might have been.

Now... how does that prove that more ILLEGALS work at Trump's Hotel than most cities hotels ?

Am I getting what you said correct ?

I've been a Freeper for about 12 years. What's your score?

Why do you even have to ask ? Don't you know how to find out a Freeper's sign on date , you 12 year experienced Freeper who knows how to type words into GOOGLE but doesn't fully read the info you get back.

It's really rather simple.

P.S. The workers in the link you gave are employees of oontractors. Trump didn't 'hire' those workers and has no access to their 'records'. They aren't working for HIM, they are working for the company that contracted to do the work.

Do you not know how the business world works?

How is it any better to use contractors that use illegals? Yes, I understand the business world. An honest businessman who is against illegal immigration would make it a point to hire contractors who obey the law and do not use illegals. However, continue to make excuses for your hero.
