Elections 2016 Presidential Election General Discussion

Trump has also stiffed many, many contractors. My dad, who works as one, has told me for years that he doesn't work on any Trump job because of his reputation for stiffing contractors. So yeah, he's happy when some other billionaire does well but doesn't seem too keen on paying those whom he actually agreed to pay.

This is another example of Trump helping other people succeed. When does anybody on the left ever do anything but vilify any success stories and tell them they owe more money so they can raise their own salaries and take more control? All I've ever heard from people who've had personal interactions with Trump is how helpful he's been and how he legitimately cares to see other people do well.

The guy is a decent human. And yes, all he gets is bad press.

Oh wow... not huge if true

Trump saves widow's farm from foreclosure

....but he called Hillary the devil (just like Bernie did a few months prior) How could he do something so vile?

Also CNN aired an important story about him eating fried chicken with a fork (GASP)while ignoring Hillary's leaked emails and other lesser stories

Are you blind? Turn on any news channel not named FOX and then tell me if it's "conspiratorial" to conclude they love running hit pieces on Trump. The amount of headlines I've seen during this campaign for shit that's completely trivial--like TRUMP SAYS HE WANTS A PURPLE HEART OMFG LITERALLY HITLER--compared to the 10 seconds of mumbling about Hillary Clinton breaking the law on non-FOX channels speaks volumes about their agenda.

I will take this a step further. All of Hollywood is pushing a left wing agenda so bad it's pretty much propaganda digested by the American mouth breather on a daily basis.

The rational side is now ostracized. Called racist. And the current candidate that can actually speak for them is so outlandish he might just blow this slow pitched softball! If he just shut up I swear he would win!

I do not want Hillary to win but I have already prepared myself for that eventuality.

In the greatest charade of modern times, is Trump the new Tony Clifton?

Unfortunately, I don't think Trump would have the patience for a Great Gatsby reading.

 

[HereticBD]

YUGE, if true.

nothing shadier than a group of contractors.

That's why you price out a job using different Estimators.

Nothing really shady when you do that

And probably has some mob ties. There is almost 0 chance that guy who did real estate in NYC in the 80 and 90s didn't have to pay out to mob guys.

If ever there was concrete proof someone should be president, this would be it.

I read about that too but I'm a little more sympathetic on that point because, as you point out, its almost a necessity if you want to do business in the area at the time so I can understand that somewhat. Stiffing the contractors is worse IMO because he reneges on his agreements because he knows he can drag out it long enough in court to make it more of a hassle to the contractors.

So the former is just the cost of doing business in NYC at the time while the latter is a conscious abuse of the power differential between him and the contractors.

No, this is not concrete proof anyone should be president. Trump can barely speak English, and that is the only language he knows. He doesn't know much about anything, which is prett obvious to anyone watching his interviews. He should never be president, and he won't be.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Trump is the exact type of guy who is jealous of anyone more successful than he is.

You've been one of the most reasonable posters in the WR, so I totally believe you, and I take stiffing contractors as way more damning. It really is a shame that the choice is between Hillary and Trump.

 

[Fawlty]

Nope, just an amazingly insecure and narcissistic bully who never got his ass kicked like he should have.

[RighteousWar]

I keep reading everywhere that Trump has made racist comments, especially about Mexicans...what exactly has he said?

Serious inquiry, btw, as I don't follow media outlets.

Thanks!
