#1370Change in the status quo for sure and I like the man. He is a very successful businessman who has hired thousands of people. Given then great jobs. Many people love the guy. Think about it, he's potentially gonna down size big time by moving into the White House. He doesn't need to do this at 70 years old. He has to because he loves his country and wants to see it better for his children and grandkids.
He's a leader and knows how to get things done. He's a deal maker. That is what's needed. He has actually brought more people together that he has alienated as you claim. Record amount of votes in the primaries is proof. Doing the same thing over and over is the definition of insanity. So is voting for the same old politicians like Hillary, Obama and Bush.
This video is great. It shows what a great man he is.
We all love this country but that doesn't mean we should all be president. Who has he brought together? The republican party? I don't think so. He's alienated them. Ethnic groups, woman? I think he caught on to a percentage of the population like you who just want change but not real sure how to go about it. We like his brashness, bravado, attitude to say whatever is on his mind without thinking about the consequences. I'm trying to find one thing you think he can accomplish as a deal maker in Washington? Do you really think he can replace staunch Republicans while in office? Do you really think he can navigate the political walls and get things done? I don't see it. You're not going to move that crowd by taking to Twitter.Comment -

#1371Because they didn't create Isis... ISIS came into power under the Obama administration and that's why we are seeing all these terrorist attacks happen around the world today.. Stop spreading lies Chico based on no factual information.. The blame falls on Obama administration because of the promises he made to remove the troops on a certain date.. He didn't consider the fallout after that...
Republicans are to blame for removing Sadam and trying to make Iraq a democracy when the people weren't willing to go along with it.. Big mistake their as well..Comment -

#1374Seems very accurate, dont see how even Trump's most ardent of fans could disagree.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Trump’s ghostwriter Tony Schwartz spilled the beans on who Trump really is:
“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes, there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”….But Schwartz believes that Trump’s short attention span has left him with “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.” He said, “That’s why he so prefers TV as his first news source—information comes in easily digestible sound bites.” He added, “I seriously doubt that Trump has ever read a book straight through in his adult life.” During the eighteen months that he observed Trump, Schwartz said, he never saw a book on Trump’s desk, or elsewhere in his office, or in his apartment.….If Trump is elected President, he warned, “the millions of people who voted for him and believe that he represents their interests will learn what anyone who deals closely with him already knows—that he couldn’t care less about them.Schwartz didn’t just write a book about Trump. He shadowed him and listened in on Trump’s phone calls. Nobody in America has a had more closeup view of how Donald Trump really operates, and the picture isn’t pretty.There is no substance to Trump. There is nothing deeper. Donald Trump is nothing more than a human being who has dedicated his life to the pursuits of ego, power, and money. This is not the kind of man who has the capacity or desire to lead a country. Trump has bought into his own myths and is going to place himself ahead of everyone else.When Tony Schwartz says that a Trump election could mean the end of civilization, every voter should listen and vote accordingly.Over the next four days, America is about to see a con job on the grandest stage, but no one should be fooled. A Donald Trump presidency would only serve Donald Trump.Comment -

#1377You never addressed my question on whether he ever gave back? Has he ever donated his money for a cause? Has he ever helped the sick or needy? I'm just asking. I keep hearing about him being a successful business man but all I remember is his companies filing for bankruptcy 4 times??? I have a problem with that. Then you mention he's created great jobs? Where, who? He mentioned that woman should not work, why would he want woman working jobs? I've heard that he stiffed a ton of people. Hell Bob Arum was in Houston a few months ago and he said Trump stiffed him on a million dollars. I remember the USFL, I loved the league and he killed it. I dated a cocktail waitress that worked in his casino's and she hated working there, said the conditions were awful. There's always 2 sides of a coin, so who knows the real truth but I'm finding it hard to find any examples where Trump helped people that didn't help himself? Maybe you can help me find more information.
We all love this country but that doesn't mean we should all be president. Who has he brought together? The republican party? I don't think so. He's alienated them. Ethnic groups, woman?

Feb 16, 2016 - Donald Trump saved my family: Widow's daughter recalls how The Donald paid off her mom's $300,000 mortgage after her father committed
He also raised almost 6 million to the vets a few months back
So what if he went bankrupt 4 times? Millions of people have. He broke no laws.
Women? He hired women in the construction industry before it was common practice. He has more women executives working for him than men. He hires based on qualifications, not gender or race. He has hired thousands of latinos. Still does.
Is he perfect? Nope. No one is.
Yes i think he can get washington to work together. By bringing in a new attitude of America First.Comment -

Then you had to go back to 1986 to show where Trump completed a skating rink that another contractor (the low bidder) couldn't complete. He did not donate the rink, he built it at cost. Are these your examples of Trump giving back? WTF?
Then you mention he gave to the vets. Do you know he did that only AFTER he was called on the carpet? Do you know that He did not go into his pocket? Trump and supporters raised money for the vets. Trump said his efforts raised $5.6 million to the vets. He never cut a check. Now, I do not know Trump. Maybe he donates money anonymously? My view of him however is the exact opposite. He seems like a cheap bastard that won't fix the water heater if you're living in his housing.
I have a bad taste in my mouth for anyone that files for bankruptcy to escape creditors. Especially when that person goes on to make money and not repay their debts. My uncle had a thriving construction company in Ohio that he had to shut the doors because of a rash of people filing for bankruptcy protection to not pay him after he finished the work. He had to go into his own pocket to pay workers wages that the companies should have paid. I could perhaps forgive once but 4 times? That is scummy and it hurts a lot of people. I have never not repaid a debt in my life. I haven't credited anything in over a decade. I could care less that other people go bankrupt, we're talking about Trump, who you want to be our next president. Do you want him to file bankruptcy and erase our national debt too?Comment -

#1393Dwight - why are you not being straight forward in your reporting? You had to go back to 1986 to find where Trump paid off $77k of the remaining $300K mortgage, not $300k. You also failed to mention that Trump was doing photo ops at the time in the area, heard about it and said he would pay off the mortgage, not knowing that it was going to be so "expensive". He then went to the bank and tried to bully them to take less money which they refused and he was forced to pay the $77k in full. Did you know that? Who the fukk says they are going to pay off a mortgage then try to bully the bank to take less money that you agreed to donate? That is slimy as fukk.

If we wanted to cripple all of these extreme muslim groups you cut off their funds. Wipe out the entire Saudi royal families. From the fathers down to their pets. Take over the oil fields and then start clearing out each region of Middle East, one by one with help from allies. Unfortunately no politician(including Trump) will ever have the balls to crush Saudi Arabia. Dollars>innocent lives is the old saying.Comment -

#1399The agreement failed over a demand that American troops be given immunity from prosecution by Iraqis, a very touchy political issue within the Iraqi Parliament. Someexperts said Iraqi leaders may not have been willing to take great political risk with their citizens in exchange for a relatively small American force.
But no immunity meant no sizable residual troop presence.
"When the Americans asked for immunity, the Iraqi side answered that it was not possible," al-Maliki said in an October 2011 news conference. "The discussions over the number of trainers and the place of training stopped. Now that the issue of immunity was decided and that no immunity to be given, the withdrawal has started."
Three years later, as the Islamic State advanced in the country and shocked the world, a CNN reporter asked Obama if he regretted the decision not to leave a residual force in Iraq. Obama said, "Keep in mind, that wasn't a decision made by me. That was a decision made by the Iraqi government."
The political overtones have ratcheted up with international headlines about Islamic State, which also is called ISIS. Conservatives blame Obama for pulling out too soon, for leaving Iraq vulnerable, and liberals argue the pullout deadline was prescribed by Bush.
"You pick your poison there," said Lance Janda, chairman of Cameron University’s Department of History and Government. "It’s fair to say no one saw this ISIS stuff coming."
An ABC spokesman said Raddatz was unavailable for comment. The White House did not respond to emails.
Our ruling
Raddatz said the Obama administration originally "wanted 10,000 troops to remain in Iraq -- not combat troops, but military advisers, special operations forces, to watch the counterterrorism effort."
For a period, at least, the Obama administration did envision leaving 10,000 troops in Iraq past the Dec. 31, 2011, pullout of forces. That number went down to about 5,000 before negotiations stalled amid a legal snare over immunity of American forces in Iraqi courts.
Her claim is accurate but needs additional information. We rate her claim Mostly True.Comment -
