Dear Trump,
After 9/11 the federal government set aside a fund to help small business impacted by the terror attack. SMALL business.
Why is it that you and other big boys applied for and took these funds from the small businesses that needed it?
Scumbags
Trump was saying during his presser that he’s never met anyone who lies as much as Ted Cruz.
You would think Cruz would consider suing him, if it wasn’t true.
And Trump explained the agreement he had with Rubio and Cruz’s masters, the RNC. They were to deal with him fairly, and, well you saw the last debate, didn’t you?
Thanks to RNC and Cruz supporters, it was like the ape house at the zoo at feeding time.
So Trump ‘ducked’ a debate and now is “whining” because he’s frustrated and angry having to deal over-and-over with dishonest opponents. (”Pussies”)
We’re lucky we finally have someone like Trump willing to do the job after a string of Unipary losers and liars like Rubio, Bush and now Cruz.
I’m sure you will come around once you come to understand that Trump is the real deal. He was prepared to keep his end of the bargain until he came to understand the kinds of scoundrels he was dealing with, like Ted Cruz. You see that don’t you?
And furthermore as well as being honest and comptent, Trump is eligible to hold the office. That’s important too. He isn’t wasting our time.
He’s making a list but no one is suing him because he’s done nothing wrong. See how that works?
There now. I hope that addresses your concerns. On to victory!
Donald Trump
thanks for the post.
Business.
“Trump, no strings attached”
Do these anti Trump internet gangs really believe they actually have any impact upon voters decisions?
“Oh hey gang, lets all go to Free Republic and harass people to make them obey our agenda, will meet you later after we bomb Trumps facebook page”
Trump is a blabbermouth... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XriXDtfqCg

Simply fill in the blanks with whichever candidate is gaining on Trump.
Even if I never went on the offensive, there are a lot of people gunning for me now. One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people— I categorize them as life’s losers— who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.

Read that statement over again and ponder it. To those who wonder what the GOPe, the media, and all the other bomb throwers at Trump are all about, he sums it up nicely in the above observation. This is spot on. When you are a leader and a winner, there is always going to be a gun slinger out there who can’t resist taking you on. That is the universal price anyone will pay for being the fastest draw in the West.
He played them by making it appear something was true that was not. That is his “art of the deal”. It’s his MO. He prides himself in getting others to “tap into their fantasizes”.
Yet you believe he will do everything he makes it appear he will do. He only uses these deceptive tactics on others. For you, he is being straight up.
You seem to believe “He’s lying to everyone but me”.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
"How many GOP candidates defend Planned Parenthood?" and,
"Did he get along with the lady who didn't want to sell her place? No. He attempted to use the powers of Eminent Domain to bulldoze her home for more parking."
It is easy to believe such ideas if you are letting ideological purity cloud real world circumstance. Trump said in August that he didn't support funding abortions performed by Planned Parenthood but he left open the possibility of funding other aspects of the group's work on women's health. In an Aug. 11, 2015, interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo, Trump said, "Well, the biggest problem I have with Planned Parenthood is the abortion situation. It's like an abortion factory frankly. You can't have it and it shouldn't be funding and that should not be funded by the government. I feel strongly about that." In early September, however, Trump said, "I wouldn't do any funding as long as they are performing abortions."
In the case with with Atlantic City resident Vera Coking, in 1993, Trump used the courts to determine if he could take her property using eminent domain after she refused to sell her property. She would receive $250,000 if he won the case. This was a common practice for property developers to use eminent domain when the acquisition of property was denied using attractive offers to buy. The court ruled that Vera Coking's right to her property was stronger than Atlantic City's Casino Reinvestment Development Authority's (the company Trump used to bring the case) claim that the property would serve a public purpose.
Vera Coking remained in the house until 2010, when she moved to a retirement home in the San Francisco Bay Area near her daughter, Claudia Casey Coking. It was then that Claudia put the house up for sale for $5 million. Because of the economic effects of the housing crisis, the price was reduced to $1 million, but the house remained unsold until it was finally sold for $583,000 in an auction on July 31, 2014 to Carl Icahn. This was twice as much as the $250,000 Trump offered in his court case. This makes the point that such eminent domain cases do not always offer market prices for the taking. It also illustrates the effects of market forces on property value.
Trump did not walk all over Vera Coking to get what he wanted. It was common practice for government to take property to take private property for a road or post office. In the 1950s the courts began to allow takings if they serve a "public purpose." As a result, it has become routine for cities to take private property from one private party and give it to another. It became common practice for local governments to take property to make room for big-box stores, corporate headquarters, and luxury condos.
This was not the first time someone sought Vera Coking's property. In the 1970s, Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione offered Coking $1 million for her property in order to build the Penthouse Boardwalk Hotel and Casino. She declined the offer. It is ironic that if she had accepted Guccione's offer, she would have made twice as much as her daughter received from Carl Icahn 44 years later. And, Guccione went ahead to build his casino around
Coking's house, drastically affecting it value. Understand that in the world of real estate, property development requires some real world solutions to problems that may look like walking over people. Sometimes property owners can bargain for the best price and win big. Vera Coking's case illustrates the ups and downs of ownership where there is risk, and success if you are lucky; or loss, if you fail to take advantage of the cards you get.
