Good job on this post. It’s obvious you put in a significant amount of time and effort into making it.
As far as I know, Mr. Trump has had 4 bankruptcies out of his business interests, all of which were chapter 11 reorganizations. We all know his detractors will try to claim that he abused the statute to stiff his creditors but these allegations are easy to prove false.
The closest I can come to disproving that he was against Iraq all along was on a Howard Stern show when, IIRC, Howard asked him what could be done with Iraq, after 9-11 but before the invasion. As I recall, he said something like, “well, we have to do something”. Listening to the youtube clip of the interview that I just found, Howard asked if he was in favor of invading Iraq and he replied, “yeah, I guess so, I just wish we had done it correctly the first time”. (start at about 1:30 in for question)

As for the deficit, I don’t see how Donald Trump could waste money like our current rulers (yes, I meant to call them that) if he tried so I don’t see how he could do anything but reduce the deficit spending.
Anyway, thanks for submitting such a well thought out and comprehensive post.
Thanks! Yeah, it took me a while. I just got so angry as I read it when I saw things that were just untrue. I saw they criticized Trump and dictators, and I realized forgot to link about Obama’s history with dictators like this:
Or this:
Or this that got through the WaPo:
I have seen on reddit that he has 515 businesses and has had 11 failures.
I was aware of the Stern interview. I didn’t know if he changed course prior to Iraq after that interview or not. He claims he was against it very early on. It will be interesting because I am sure the Democrats will use it like the WaPo did. The journalists who cover Trump are always using it.
To say he could wage the deficit $10 trillion is unbelievable to me. I can’t see how he could be worse at raising the deficit than Obama.
