Donald Trump To Run For President in 2016!!!!!!!!

[itchypickle]

Candidate Summary, 2016 Cycle

BUSINESSMAN

DECLARED CANDIDACYTrump, born in 1946, is a billionaire real estate developer, businessman and television personality. After decades of persistent flirtation with the idea of seeking a White House bid, Trump announced on June 16, 2015, that he would officially seek the GOP nomination. Having never previously held office, Trump will likely tout his success in business as the focal point of his presidential platform. But he is no stranger to Washington. Trump has been a frequent donor to both Democratic and Republican federal political candidates, spending tens of thousands of dollars supporting them and causing some to question his sincerity as a GOP candidate. He also sparked controversy by questioning whether President Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen, asking for his birth certificate and passport history. Candidacy declared: June 16, 2015

Surly not 98% self funding. But surly will not pay a dime in tax's

On taxes just because he didn't pay "income taxes" in 1981 doesn't mean he hasn't paid any taxes that year or since. Have to put they all in context. Think about it he's in real estate...you have to pay plenty of taxes in real estate...he's been in other businesses and sold things so he's had to pay sakes taxes....he's bought plenty...more taxes....he's invested and bought/sold there too so capital gains taxes...list goes on.

Far as the PACs go it's all a smoke and mirrors system on both sides. There have been a few larger ones started by GOP establishment guys who claim it's for Trump but he's had to come out and say don't give because it's not for him they are capitalizing on his brand. And he'd be a fool not to accept money in the general now primary is over. Bernie...he can have friends or those ex staffers go start one and use it to buy ads or fund plenty of things not through the official FEC campaign so it's the same thing at end of the day.

And you said show you them, that was simply what I did. Wasn't trying to make a broader argument about taxes and funding just that he does use them.

Didn't realize Trump was 70 this year. Thought he was closer to 60.

High energy.

You see the new home in DC they grabbed for when they move out and Trump moves in in Jan!?!?

Tax payers having sewer entrances moved from in front of the house...ballistic glass put in as well as changing street to a one way to accommodate them so Sasha and Malia can get to Sidwell on time and Michelle's gym time....oh and conveniently it's located 1000 feet from the Islamic center in DC...largest one in the hemisphere....good coincidence he chose that address I suppose lol.

Trump spoke at the Rolling Thunder rally today for Memorial Day....great crowd of real everyday Americans and funny we didn't see the usual protestors trying to stir up trouble at the event with tens of thousand of vets trying to enjoy the day.

Common sense...don't hate anyone just because they come from Mexico, hate it when they come illegally and then sit in the bosom of freedom and opportunity and whine about how horrible it is.

Sanders is running on 99% Individual Contributions. Dwights meme is BS.

AS far as tax's. I meant that Trump will be writing the cost of his run off his tax's. As he is making a donation to himself. So really who is paying for his run. We the people, as someone will have to make up for those tax's.

So how self funded is he: NOT VERY.

Let's not forget, the RNC will now fund his bid now that he's the nominee.

We can go to the other side also. Bernie is paying himself and staff from that $27 average donation.

There's some shady shit that goes down with campaign funds. I heard all kinds of stories of candidates
keeping campaign money once they drop out. Some keep what they want and give to rest to other
candidates, some put the money in their parties funds. I don't think there's a set law on what to do with
extra campaign money. Could be how they get richer.

As for Sanders paying himself, I have not heard that. But I do know that he is the only one paying his whole staff. While others are using volunteers.

But your right I'm sure a lot of that money gets misused. Look at that scamming fuk Newt Gingrich.

so? The guy is a career politician. I mean after he moved out of his mother's basement at 40.

Bernie knows what to say to get people's money. That's what politicians do. They beg for money to get elected and if elected, they beg for more money throughout their term. Even if they lose, they will run again and beg for your money.

[Booya711]

I can't wait until this shit is over so all these politic threads die from PT

[khicks26]

smart.

anyone else in his position would.

Taxes.

You could say that. But you could also say what a rich weasel getting people with less money to pay for his BS. I mean you got 10 billion. So you say. Do the right thing & pay for your own shit. Instead of being the problem that is fuking up the country to begin with.

I;m going with greedy asshole.

Going by his tax returns. I'm not seeing the sliver spoon, like some of the other people running.

Second straight year the govt took in record amount of taxes...so I think we'll be just fine without his contribution. If not, his point is well made that the govt wastes those tax dollars.

How else are the oligarchs going to pay for the military that protects their interest world wide. Those 1000 bases are not cheap. I mean we can not waste money feeding & housing people.

Plus we need to store & keep track of every word the US people say & write. We have to spy on them & fund 17 agencies to do it. How else will the oligarchs keep power & pay less or none of those tax's.

[khicks26]

wrong

[Dr.Gonzo]

Ron Paul - "This current election cycle represents the dumbing down of America."

Ron Paul's failed leftist outreach did significant damage to the libertarian movement, it's now predominantly filled with leftists and leftist sympathizers.

He should have learn't from Murray Rothbard.

From what I can see, the core of Ron Paul's support now back Donald Trump.

Actually he has offended Americans.

She needs to say/write that three more times for it to be true!

I'm all for shuttering a ton of European and Pacific leaning bases as well. Same goes for many of the installations and land domestically that could be sold and used better. Far as the domestic spying goes we actually do most of that for them through signing those terms of use pages we click on and such. Doesn't cost them they much sadly we just hand it all over.

But still a drop in the bucket as far as the amount of funds shitt away by the geniuses in DC

[jtoler]

Poll shows mostly democrats are voting for the neocon Hillary and mostly republicans are voting for the liberal Trump, the comedy.

If you want to count over a trillion a year & half of GDP as a drop in the bucket. So be it.
