    You see real business will get scared about know that USA is lead by a dead beat i dont pay my bills moron. Really the same as if YOU where to lead something and your history was filled with failed to pay your debts well you would not have very good credit rating either and same goes for any business you are leading.
    But are you implying that he is personally responsible for the failures of these businesses? LOL, you can do better than that.

    I absolutely loathe Hillary. But saying Trump will do good is at best naive.

    If they are his companies that he founded, ot that he's the man in charge of... yes, he is responsible.

    He was born with privilege, Yes, I do agree with that. But all I can see in fact was that he utilized those privileges in a smart way and successfully expanded his business world-wide. And he has been successful in his political adventure as well. You can certainly say he is biased or bigoted. But I dont agree that he is "stupid".

    What I don't get is, why do Trump's supporters find his supposed business acumen to be so impressive? For one thing, there are people out there who are FAR richer than he is, and yet even before he entered politics he still had more name recognition and association with wealth than dozens of businessmen who have been objectively more successful. For another, the business that Trump is in doesn't exactly represent the kind of things that we actually value in American business. He hasn't invented anything, doesn't produce anything particularly useful, and his companies generally have little impact on our day to day lives. To use economics lingo, he's just a rent seeker - he owns stuff that generates revenue without him having to do much of anything, whether that be actual rent on his properties or licensing out his name. And even at that, he's not particularly good, the man couldn't even turn a profit on a goddamn casino!

    Say what you will about the likes of Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, those guys are forward thinking with a vision of the future built around the use of their products. They might be rich, egomaniacal douchebags, but you can't deny that in their own way, they had a major impact. What the hell is Trump's vision? Golden toilets with his name plastered over them? A good businessman gets rich because thats his reward for the contribution he makes to our society, what exactly does Trump contribute?

    He started a mortgage firm in 2006:

    “I think it’s a great time to start a mortgage company,” Trump told a CNBC interviewer in April 2006, adding that “the real estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come.”

    and you are calling him stupid. Really smart.
    I think I've been misunderstood once more. The electoral campain put around Trump is stupid. The man himself is brilliant. But everything, from pro-Trump to anti-Trump extremists breathe stupidity. It's like if the two poles of stupidity in our society can't help themselves but always speak of Trump. Good, bad, who cares as long that it's Trump.

    By the way, I respect the man immenselly.

    But he's not really that successful. It's not as if he made his large gift perform at an amazing level. He's suffered multiple nakruptcies, and should probably be worth more.

    Trump says and does so many things that are easily to attack. Why make up stuff about his business dealings? What is gained for your side of the argument, by saying lies that make you look dumb?

    See there are no options. If by this point you don't think it will be between Hillary and Trump you're deluded. Bernie is Out. El Rato is out. He's just the lesser of the two evils. As for him doing good, he'll learn. He's new to this, compared to someone who has already been in this and lying all their life. And I'm sure you know that as a person he has a strong personality/aura. Something a president needs and something I really don't see in any of the others.

    I like that he puts the US and its citizens above others. Something Shillary seems to have a hard time doing. Just see her new Women Card and Tshirts campaign.

    But he does cater to stupid and ignorant people.

    And he's not really that successful, not when taken in context. As for him being responsible for bankruptcies. If he is in charge of a company, and it goes bankrupt, he is responsible. How many millions do you think he's bilked from the taxpayers? Talk about a welfare case...

    Trump has been caught lying countless times. Do you think he's stop? He's also stated he wants to take away people's freedoms, is that what you support?

    Of course, you could always vote 3rd party, and not be a brainwashed partisan.
