The city got off cheap. Think what it would have cost to fix it up if done by the city.
Trump is more conservative than most of the Republican party. He has come to it eclectically, but with a little wisdom from real conservatives, he could do very well.
He is known for listening to his experts in the different fields.
You are a naive fool.
This is not free market capitalism. This is crony capitalism or quasi-socialism.
If you come and genuflect to your masters, they will give you a tax break for your business.
If you are not a party member in good standing, then we will not give you the incentives.
Since when is this the right way for our government and businesses to run?
What is conservative about admiring state control over who gets incentives?
You fawn all over this because it created jobs and bailed the city out of something they should not have been involved with in the first place.
Why does Trump's golf course get a tax incentive, but someone else's business does not? What happened to equal treatment under the law?
You make me sick by admiring the very thing that is helping to eat away at the greatest nation to ever exist.
Then you are missing the whole point about why Trump is leading EVERY state and national poll. This is unheard of in last 50 years.
My opinion is this Trump phenomena is entirely due to Americans being sick of losing. They are thirsty for America winning again.
They are tired of being
screwed by China, Japan, Mexico, middle-east wars,
Liberal legislators who are increasing the height of welfare pyramid every quarter,
new business start ups are now net negative,
illegal invasion accompanied by violent crimes,
college graduates not finding jobs commensurate with their education,
middle class wages stagnant,
Planned Parenthood selling baby parts,
Hedge fund managers paying less tax rates than ordinary middles class jobs such as teachers & firefighters,
H1-B visa explosion taking jobs from American citizens, legal immigrants getting social security without contributing a dime in taxes,
infra-structure looking like a 3rd world country,
wounded veterans receiving sub-standard healthcare,
Obamacare & soon to come Hillarycare,
loss of American military power,
and phony MAN-MADE global warming crowd.
Well, yes, the accusation was that he was a stalking horse for Hellery because they were friends. Even if you didn’t throw out the stalking horse scenario, plenty of people did. I just never bought it.
No, I did not miss it at all. I totally get it.
I also understand why so many conservatives are falling for Trump as well. He fights back and shouts at his opponents without apology and conservatives love it. We have been whipped dogs for too long, apologizing for our beliefs.
No, I get it.
But, remember, Germany was broken, beaten and in the midst of a great depression....they turned to a man who screamed from the pulpit, who didn't back down and who seemed like he had all the answers.
No, Trump is not Hitler in any way, shape or form. The analogy fits because when you are desperate is when you are most vulnerable for deception.
Good! Then, we are even.
You called me a naive fool, well, you are an ignorant fool. You don't even understand how business works, in this country, and what has kept the free market free.
Do you, or have you ever, owned a business? Do you/have you ever signed the front of the checks....the checks that pay payroll, the taxes and the bills? Just curious.
My city owns a golf course and has ever since I moved here in 1966. People who do not want to belong to a country club or can not afford a country club uses it. It is kept up by the city. Before one of my friends moved out of town, she played there 3 times a week.
I really thought FReepers were smarter than this. How do people think new businesses are brought to a city/state?
Amen.

Nah if anything HELLary courts TRUMP... he tolerates her..
But then everybody does..
BTW, smart ass I’m not sure your use and alteration of that Dos Equis ad, along with using that actor, even adding quotes without permission is a wise thing for you to do. Enjoy their lawyer’s letters dipshit.
True I’m so smart I can see TRUMP is a RINO....
and brings other RINOs out of their CLOSETS..
damn I shouldn’t have said that.. I love exposed RINOs..
Your spittle load is choking you. Obviously deprived of oxygen.
Snarking is an ART.... sorry you suck at it..
Now I understand your problem.
You think Hitler with Trump are the same because both had/have charisma in spades.
FRiend, let me explain the difference.
Hitler never built anything! He never even ran a sausage stand at profit. Hitler was a community organizer all his life.
Trump on the other hand has spent his entire life actually building useful things. Like apartment residences, business occupied buildings, skating rinks, world class golf resorts, superb hotels, etc.
Comparing Hitler and trump is exactly same as comparing an elephant with a rat because both have tails! Just because both Hitler and Trump are charismatic individuals does not mean they have anything common in ideology.

You’re absolutely right.. TRump IS NO Hitler..
He’s more of a Mussolini...
Nonsense and in spades.
I really thought FReepers were smarter than this. How do people think new businesses are brought to a city/state?
Little or No taxs, little or no UNIONS, workers that work without history of suing their employers..
AND sometimes because they paid off the politicians.. let’s call it TRUMPISM..
Nonsense and in spades.
Prove it..
Part of The Donald mythology is that he only started with a small fortune. His father, Fred Trump, left behind an empire behind that included 27,000 housing units in NYC. 27,000 housing units in NYC is hardly "some starting capital" - it is a world class fortune, comparable to the Kennedy and Bush inheritances.
Nope. Swing and a miss.
I was comparing the mindset of the people who put Hitler in power to those who are supporting Trump.
The two men share very little....I agree....but the people are behaving out of desperation.
No, sweetums, YOU prove that Trump is “just like Mussolini”; you said it, you prove it and you’d best be very specific!
