You Can Easily Judge the Character of a Man by How He Treats Those Who Can Do Nothing for Him

............"Trump has made little secret of his inclination to strike back hard - on the campaign trail and in the courts - against anybody who opposes him. But the secret deposition in the San Diego case calls attention to the danger that a Trump presidency could turn into what one lawyer who has sued Trump called a "litigation circus" in which a sitting president would be forced to submit to multiple depositions and even jury trials as a result of ongoing civil lawsuits.

Little noticed while he has emerged as the Republican frontrunner for president, Trump remains mired in litigation on multiple fronts. In addition to defending the Trump University suits, he has initiated legal action in the past year against restaurateurs and the Univision network after they pulled out of business deals over his comments about Mexican immigrants. He has also recently threatened to sue rival Ted Cruz on the grounds that he is not eligible to be president because he was born in Canada. At a CNN forum Thursday night, in response to a question about his propensity to threaten opponents with lawsuits, Trump replied, in part, "I have wonderful lawyers. I like to send letters."

Just last week - three days before Makaeff made her court filing - a judge in Washington, D.C., overruled the objections of Trump's lawyers and ordered him to submit to a deposition in a suit he filed against one of the restaurateurs.

As Yahoo News noted in August, none of these cases would go away were Trump elected president. In 1997, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that presidents are not immune from civil litigation while in office, rejecting Bill Clinton's claim that he should not be subjected to a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by a former Arkansas state employee, Paula Jones." -- Trump is accused of financially threatening woman during secret deposition

Contracts are contracts for a reason.

They are written with the intention that they will be enforced. by the courts if necessary.

You must not have any serious baseness experience.

Just as when you purchase a car on time or a house on time, there are penalties for thumbing you nose at your contractual obligations.

The rules are simple. You must follow the terms of the contracts. If you have any disagreements with the other party, you are not excused by that from living up to your bargain. Any disagreements must be settled by either a previously agreed to method or by civil court.

Those businesses who broke their contract because of Trump’s position on immigration have no more right to break the contract than you have to quit paying for your car because the windshield wipers do not work.

In addition, verbal contracts can be enforced just as though they were written contracts.

So unless you have read each of those contracts and understand contract law, your references to Trump’s business dealings are foolish.

As for the plaintiff’s lawyers, remember that you can find a lawyer to take any side of any disagreement so long as you can pay the bill, so that lends zero credibility to either side.

You Can Easily Judge the Character of a Man by How He Treats Those Who Can Do Nothing for Him

What does your post have to do with your header? That's exactly how I judge a man and one of the reasons I'm so impressed by Trump. The number of people to whom he has reached out and made a difference has impressed me: for sending his plane to transfer a young boy on a ventilator from Israel to NYC, saving a family home by buying a mortgage and giving it to the family, championing ex-military who were getting the run around, building a skating rink and giving it to NYC.

Perhaps Fallwell said it best:

Falwell then recounted how Trump gave his unsolicited support and generosity to those who needed it most, including funding the Harlem Hoops Basketball Tournament in New York after the man who ran it died in the 9/11 attacks and paying off the mortgage of a couple who stopped to help him when his limousine conked out on a deserted highway.

"Matthew 7:16 tells us that 'By their fruits, you shall know them,'" Falwell said. "Donald Trump's life has born fruit. Fruit that has provided jobs to multitudes of people, in addition to the many he has helped with his generosity."

"In my opinion, Donald Trump lives a life of loving and helping others as Jesus taught in the great commandment."

And then in explaining how his own father was criticized for supporting Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter for president, Falwell added:

"He wasn't electing a Sunday school teacher or a pastor or even a president who shared his theological beliefs," Falwell said. "He was electing the president of the United States and the talents, abilities and experience required to lead a nation might not always line up with those needed to run a church or lead a congregation. After all, Jimmy Carter was a great Sunday school teacher but look what happened to our nation with him in the presidency."

Trump claims to love the little people.

He does not. He can’t stand them. They are pigs, filthy pigs if they spoil the view from a resort.

Or crazy grandmas if they won’t let him buy them out. That is his right, dammit.

The little people are in for a very rude awakening.

They’ve been so mean here that I could enjoy it but it’s gonna hurt me (and the country) as well.

That’s if we cannot stop him. I still hope we can.
