cornographic Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 If you like Adolph Schicklgruber and/or shady characters with names like Genovese and Gambino, you are gonna really love D(er) Trump(ino): he's the total package! Well, I've already made my sentiments re: Trump and the little Austrian guy with the small mustache fairly well known on the msg board here, so let's turn our attention to Trump(ino) and the THUG LIFE, shall we? "Look at that face!" "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!" From "21 Questions for Donald Trump: I have covered Donald Trump off and on for 27 years — including breaking the story that in 1990, when he claimed to be worth $3 billion but could not pay interest on loans coming due, his bankers put his net worth at minus $295 million. And so I have closely watched what Trump does and what government documents reveal about his conduct. Reporters, competing Republican candidates, and voters would learn a lot about Trump if they asked for complete answers to these 21 questions. So, Mr. Trump… 1. You call yourself an “ardent philanthropist,” but have not donated a dollar to The Donald J. Trump Foundation since 2006. You’re not even the biggest donor to the foundation, having given about $3.7 million in the previous two decades while businesses associated with Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment gave the Trump Foundation $5 million. All the money since 2006 has come from those doing business with you. How does giving away other people’s money, in what could be seen as a kickback scheme, make you a philanthropist? 2. New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman successfully sued you, alleging your Trump University was an “illegal educational institution” that charged up to $35,000 for “Trump Elite” mentorships promising personal advice from you, but you never showed up and your “special” list of lenders was photocopied from Scotsman Guide, a magazine found at any bookstore. Why did you not show up? 7. Trump Tower was built by S&A Concrete, whose owners were “Fat” Tony Salerno, head of the Genovese crime family, and Paul “Big Paul” Castellano, head of the Gambinos, another well-known crime family. If you did not know of their ownership, what does that tell voters about your management skills? 9. In demolishing the Bonwit Teller building to make way for Trump Tower, you had no labor troubles, even though only about 15 unionists worked at the site alongside 150 Polish men, most of whom entered the country illegally, lacked hard hats, and slept on the site, who were paid less than $5 an hour cash with no benefits, How did you manage to avoid labor troubles, like picketing and strikes, and job safety inspections while using mostly non-union labor at a union worksite — without hard hats for the Polish workers? 16. In 1986 you wrote a letter seeking lenient sentencing for Joseph Weichselbaum, a convicted marijuana and cocaine trafficker who lived in Trump Tower and in a case that came before your older sister, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry of U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey, who recused herself because Weichselbaum was the Trump casinos and Trump family helicopter consultant and pilot. Why did you do business with Weichselbaum, both before and after his conviction? 17. Your first major deal was converting the decrepit Commodore Hotel next to Grand Central Station into a Grand Hyatt. Mayor Abe Beame, a close ally of your father Fred, gave you the first-ever property tax abatement on a New York City hotel, worth at least $400 million over 40 years. Since you boast that you are a self-made billionaire, how do you rationalize soliciting and accepting $400 million of welfare from the taxpayers? Etc... http://www.alternet.org/21-questions-donald-trump Well, you get the picture. And then there's security: When a group of troublemaking Americans, at least some of them suspiciously ethnic looking, showed up at a Donald Trump event with a banner reading "TRUMP: Make America Racist Again," Donald Trump's security guard leaped into action to prevent this travesty of free speech from sullying a perfectly lovely Trumpian shindig. A Trump security guard took offense at this sign of insolence and ripped the banner away from them. One of the protesters then chased the guard and grabbed him, at which point the guard turned around and clocked the guy. From the New York Times: "The Trump campaign said that the security team member on Thursday was 'jumped from behind' and that the campaign would 'likely be pressing charges.'" http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/05/1418430/-Trump-security-guard-punches-Latino-protester And then there are the "fans" of Trump, only the best and brightest: "Donald Trump was right," the two men said, according to police, as they beat the man with a metal pipe and then urinated on him. "All these illegals need to be deported." http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/20/politics/donald-trump-immigration-boston-beating/ All this thug Life harkens one back to that cinematic cult classic, "The Idiocracy", where, you know, the prez was a WWF kingpin: Oh wait! Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment gave the Trump Foundation $5 million. (from above) Well, I'm sure D(er) Trump(ino) will supply us with more fodder in the days and weeks to come, but just remember Mur'ca: you get the politicians that you deserve.... Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Donald is quite the character. He certainly is bringing a lot of attention to the upcoming debate and nominating process. He has a colorful past, which is to say, the reporters are actually looking at this time around. I have talked to quite a few non-political types, and they are certainly entertained by him and are starting to get involved in the process, whereas, they were incognizant before... gotta believe, if Biden runs, he will win.

To me it looks like the event is at Trump Tower. Which Mr. Trump owns. That means he can have them or the sign removed from HIS property. You get it? That is not THEIR tower to protest in. When they own a tower, they can protest in it. The great misunderstanding of free speech/rights. 1 Link to comment
Sargon Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 The Donald has made this cycle entertaining for me. Considering nobody running seems likely to accomplish ANY major improvement objective for the US (economy, debt, terror, race, etc etc) I appreciate some laughs now and then from the process. He's also pressing a few important issues that no one else will and has majority support for his non-insider views (build a fence, don't lose in trade or security deals, politicians are owned). 1 Link to comment

They have these things, I think they call them sidewalks and these things called sidealks are what is called public? They also have these things called streets and these streets are also called public. For e.g., these people called protesters (vvv) are on the streets: Hey, check out the latest update from your(and David Duke's) boy Der Trumpino: A newly surfaced report from a 1927 edition of the New York Times suggests Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump's late father may have had a connection to the Ku Klux Klan.A man named Fred Trump was among those arrested in a massive brawl between KKK members and police at a 1927 Memorial Day parade in New York City... The Times article listed the arrestee's address as 175-24 Devonshire Road in Jamaica Estates, Queens. Past local news reports noted that the Republican presidential frontrunner's father (pictured above, third from the left) lived at that address. Donald Trump's German immigrant grandfather, who anglicized his own name to Fred Trump, died nine years before the incident occurred. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/fred-trump-arrest-1927-kkk The nut never falls too far from the tree, as they say.

I think if Trump wasn't a celeb nor had $ and took his soap box to the street corner on 125th and Harlem, most people would think he's a raving lunatic. Link to comment
cornographic Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 The attraction of a Trump, like the attraction of Radovan Karadzic or Slobodan Milosevic during the breakdown of Yugoslavia, is that his buffoonery, which is ultimately dangerous, mocks the bankruptcy of the political charade. It lays bare the dissembling, the hypocrisy, the legalized bribery. There is a perverted and, to many, refreshing honesty in this. The Nazis used this tactic to take power during the Weimar Republic. The Nazis, even in the eyes of their opponents, had the courage of their convictions, however unsavory those convictions were. Those who believe something, even something repugnant, are often given grudging respect.
