Trump Isn't Morally Qualified to Be President, Munger Says

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Vice Chairman Charles Munger criticized leading candidates from both major U.S. political parties.

At a meeting with investors of his Daily Journal Corp. in Los Angeles Wednesday, Munger, 92, was asked whether a person who couldn’t make money in the gaming industry would be a good fit for the top office in the U.S.

“Well, he did make money for quite a while,” Munger said of Republican Donald Trump. “My attitude is that anybody who makes money running a casino is not morally qualified.”

I don’t need the American version of the Taliban telling me what to do with my money.

Gambling is fun and voluntary. His personal opinion has no bearing Trump’s candidacy.

What does he think about Berkshire Hathaway and their polluting companies? What about the morality on that side?

Yeah, crickets.

Munger’s company and boss are, however, basically in bed with the super- moral paragon of true Christian and loyal Anerican values that’s currently occupying our White House. (Sic)

"Casting lots" is mentioned 70 times in the Old Testament, and 7 times in the New Testament, including deciding the new apostle....

"When the apostles met after Jesus ascended to heaven they determined who would replace Judas by casting lots: Acts 1:26 "Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles." NIV"

And yet, the Clintons are?

Also, will you change your tune if National Enquirer releases evidence of Cruz being unfaithful?

As a matter of fact, casinos and insurance companies make money based on the same statistical principle. It is called expected value. Look it up.

So then I guess messieurs Munger and Buffet aren't qualified to comment either.

A member of the oligarchy running the Uniparty advice is to be treasured as a knock on Trump? Get Real! TRump is and has been the only candidate with the strength, knowledge, stamina, and money to stand against the Uniparty. Cruz is owned by Goldman, and the many other major contributors to him and his SuperPAC including Paul Singer.

I will go down supporting who I believe is the only candidate not in the race for the money and who truly loves this country for more than the power and money they can gain as being President.

That person is Trump.

sCruzkins don’t have the temperament.

They want someone who can bribe or steal.

They want to make blacklists against those who don’t agree with them.

They want to have an authoritarian religious government that takes away from the sinner and give to the so called righteous.

Warren Buffett’s fortune is built on salt, fat, and cheap carbohydrates. He has donated $1.2 Million to Planned Parenthood for abortions—enough to kill every person in Chicago.

If anyone is paying attention they would know how she aide money We need a break from all this lying and deception the propaganda and the syndicated global crime

A casino? A majority of the voters are on line at the lottery every day adoring Hillary admiring her while she has her minions stuffing their undergarments full of personal profits gained from foreign and domestic enemies from her position as state dignitary gained with the security clearance of a syndicated criminal insider

Enough of this double standard bs. Enough

Heck the apostles drew lots.

Beckshire folks support a lot of things that would be moral disqualifiers for most of us. I think I’ll take a pass on any of their moral judgements.

Didn't Donny the Delegate loser give a lot of money to the “Clinton Foundation”?

As for morality, in this election cycle?

It's not just in the back of the bus....It’ not even on the bus.

Sadly.

Jedi.

But thinking article II, I, 5, does not matter is thinking like a constitutional conservative? Furthermore, what about all those constitutional conservatives who have taken lots and lots of casino money from Sheldon Adelson — and Donald Trump? Guess they had better give it back, hadn’t they?

Quite frankly...is there ANYONE in this presidential election cycle that IS ‘morally qualified’?

Everyone can name SOMETHING about a candidate...ANY candidate....that they view as a dis-qualifier. Doesn’t matter if they’re Democrat or Republican.
