Donald Trump flips on self-funding. Now accepting corporate donations

[Wildtree]

And the alternative is Hillary who is owned by banks. I think I'll stick with Trump.

Corporate America owns the banks.
You still wanna go with the one that's owned by the corporations or the one that's owned by the banks?

Further, in one case you know exactly what you get. No if's no but's.
In the other case, you know nothing at all, since the guy you support might just change his stance completely, or never meant what he said anyway.

[Jibjub]

Well duh. Of course he needs money for a national campaign.

[Slant]

When will Trump deserve a Megathread just like Bernie Sanders?

The brilliant diversity of his eccentricies really make one mega thread not enough to properly illustrate and discuss Drumpf's megalomania properly. The crazy in that man is so humungous, you need one mega thread for every bit of crazy in him.

[Wildtree]

Self funding...
Put up your own money.
Someone who brags about having 10 billion dollars, should be able to put the money where the mouth is, and spend a billion on his campaign.

How can there be a thread about Trump grovelling for money without mentioning his first big score. $100 million from Sheldon Adelson, who made his billions creating jobs and casinos in China. Such a MAGA type of guy. What does Shelly want from Trump? A war with Iran. Who else hates Iran and wants a war between Iran and America? Well, Israel obviously, but also ISIS. Funny how the first big puppet master Trump lands will have him cashing in favors to help ISIS if he is elected president. Oh the irony. But he would fulfill one promise of killing the terrorist families at least, cause every dead person in Iran will leave behind family that will harbor a deep resentment towards America after the war.

I bet once Wall Street starts pilling money in, there goes his renegotiating NAFTA and his bull shit "fair trade" he once stood for.

Kinda dumb to take their money he loses any remaining credibility he once had. And if people actually voted on... , fuck nm people are dumb. At the end of the day it seems America votes for the most entertaining candidate each time. Clinton over Bush/Dole, Bush definitely over Gore/Kerry and Obama against old man McCain and stiff Romney. People want entertainment and laughing at Trump fuck shit up horribly for 4/8 years may take their minds off their children dying in Iran or the huuuuuuge (it's going to be the greatest) recession Trump gets us in.

The wall is getting built if we need to build It ourselves.

Lol you're not getting a wall, bud. Not even a picket fence. You're getting smoke blown up your asshole by an orange asshole. Anyone who believes in the wall probably also thinks the tooth fairy is going to give them money when their teeth rot from their faces due to meth.

Change his stance like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dY77j6uBHI - Trump might not have been consistent in the past, but he was a real estate mogul not a politician like Clinton.

Which qualifies him to be President, the highest political position, how?

No one ever argued that Clinton hasn't changed her stance ever.
She did, and not just rarely.
But... There is still a difference whether someone changed their opinion on something over 10 or more years, (gay marriage - 2002 vs 2016) and changing it within days, if not hours like Trump does.

Don't you already have a fence though? Might not be a picket fence but it's there, right?

[Enthusiastic Steward]

I'd be amused by all the back and forth this election cycle of people arguing which set of acknowledged lies coming from which candidate were best if it weren't so fucking depressing.

Don't you already have a fence though? Might not be a picket fence but it's there, right?

You mean the fence that was approved in 2006 but still isn't finished and has turned into a bureaucratic quagmire and money sink? Then yeah, it's sort of there.

Keep bashing Trump OP.

Your party candidate is this:


He self funded his campaign for the primaries and knocked out 16 very good candidates.

You know the difference between your current president and our next President, Trump?

He's a real American.

[Torgent]

Don't you already have a fence though? Might not be a picket fence but it's there, right?

Yes, but I mean a new fence. The current one is not very effective and really isn't meant to be (because walls and fences don't do much anyway, since most people come through checkpoints and by water)

Was he fighting in a bar somewhere and knocked out some doctorate students? Because there weren't 16 good candidates to begin with, especially not on the Republican side.

[Vargulf the Happy Husky]

he was never supposed to make it this far, but here he is. gg america

[Ishayu]

Like every other American politician, he flip-flops like a fish and lies 24/7.

When will the American people wake up and realize that their democratic system is completely broken?

I'm not against democracy mind you, but seriously fuck that 2-party FPTP bullshit. It doesn't work. Looks like it'll be Hillary Clinton vs Donald Trump, both of whom everybody in the US probably know are pathological liars. How does that happen?

[Ravenblade]

The anti trump media is fascist and propaganda. Trump needs to create his own news sites when he becomes president and shut down the mainstream media for being anti American.

This one takes the cake because not only this is suggesting that Trump should pull a Berlusconi it is also suggesting that literally state-owned media are the way to go, basically that thing that makes a difference between the US and Russia is supposed to vanish and be replaced by a version which would probably require the US constitution to be replaced by a piece of paper that reads "CATZ R COOL!".

[Wildtree]

Indeed, Indeed...

How effective can a wall possibly be?

How long is the U.S. border with Canada and Mexico?

The United States has 5,525 miles of border with Canada and 1,989 miles with Mexico. Our maritime border includes 95,000 miles of shoreline.

https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/det...order-in-miles

And Trump's wall would cover approximately 1000 miles of the border to Mexico.
The other half cannot be built due to either geological reasons, or the land is simply privately owned.
So now we have 1000 miles wall, and some 100.000 miles still open.
There is no way, never was and never will be, to close in the USA's borders.
There is a military that can fend off (and very effectively in such event) any invasive armies. But border hoppers cannot be kept out.

You made a big mistake.
You expected him knowing who Berlusconi is.

[zenkai]

With this change in his policy, Deporting illegals and his trade agreement statements will now go directly against the interests of his corporate backers. He already lied to you about self-funding... Is it any surprise he has most likely lied to you about those things as well?

Maybe, and this is just a thought, but maybe the billionaire businessman is in this for himself - and not for you? Bit of a shocker to think of it that way, I know...

I find it Hilarious you think any Trump supporter will suddenly flip sides because Trump realized he can't finance is own campaign and is now accepting donations from corporations.

Trump will take hints from Erich Honecker who always begrudged that his talents as roofer were underused and he had to do with a wall. As a staunch Honeckerist Trump will not only build a wall - around the US that is - but also...a roof with tremendous beamers projecting beautiful skies on its huge ceiling with the sun, the moon and even planet Earth on it!

You made a big mistake.
You expected him knowing who Berlusconi is.

For all we know he might even be Silvio Berlusconi in disguise
