4 Questions Voters Need Donald Trump To Stop Dodging
Foolish questions I think.

Does anyone expect Trump to manage both his businesses and function as President?

I have never cared anything about releasing Tax Returns. It is a non-issue when weighing a person's ability to perform the functions of the office.

3 and 4 are just so far off the wall. I cannot comprehend the logic of why they are so important.

Are you familiar with Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Donald Trump on the Issues and https://www.donaldjtrump.com/

Think for yourselves and do a little research on the state of the country, the economics, etc. and then, I'll see you on the Trump train. Although "ignorance is bliss", it can people look pretty foolish.

This post is spit-take worthy. Think for yourselves? You think that the redundant posts you make that just regurgitate the slander and bigotry directed towards Cruz are a result of "thinking for yourself"? All you have to do is "Google" and you will LEARN that all of the smears from the Trump Train have been completely and soundly debunked.

The level of hypocrisy and irony in this single post meets the daily requirements for the next decade.

My only take away is that you are one blissful Trump supporter!

The problem is not that we don't know what to do. Problem is we don't have anyone to do it.
Heard of this thing called "Congress?" Any idea why it exists?

I want to know what Trump's IQ is. If I had to guess I would say it is hovering around 90.

I think 90 is aspirational.

I'm not a Trump supporter and I really never thought he'd have a chance at actually becoming the Republican candidate. But that's looking more and more possible.


He's obviously a great businessman and that is the main reason I'd be willing to give a chance. Maybe he could work some magic and get the U.S. back on solid financial ground. He has done it in his personal life; why not for the country?


I DON'T like that he never says how he is actually going to do any of the things he talks about and he just says "believe me" and "trust me" and general statements about making the U.S. great again. But how? To be fair, I have heard SOME of what he plans - like a one time tax on the rich.


But when I hear Bernie Sanders talk about free college for everyone, I know FOR SURE that is not realistic. So if it came down to Trump and Sanders or Trump and Clinton, I guess I'd have to vote for Trump.

I'll bet No. This is a cult of personality---he's a celeb. I don't think they even listen to what he is saying. And if you ask questions of them, such who will pay for the Wall--they will confidently tell you "China will."

Nothing else matters unless it applies to Hillary or Obama.

Lol, as if there aren't "blissful" Cruz, Rubio, Clinton, Sanders, etc., etc. supporters here.

Thanks for the laugh.

It's scary.

Bring on the Godwin's Law charges but, as I also have said before, simply because you have a handy dandy little name for a phenomenon don't mean it isn't true.
I'm usually pretty quick to play the Godwin card but I will pull it in this case on the narrowest grounds, and that would be based solely any insights that you can glean from the mind of his supporters not that Trump's philosophy or policies have anything in common with Hitler. What is a common feature, is based upon the sense of alienation largely as result of the 2007 financial crisis, the election of an African American president and policies perceived as being inimical to the majority's sense of fairness.

A good online book is Thomas J. Scheff, and Suzanne M. Retzinger "Emotions and Violence: Shame and Rage in Destructive Conflicts"

This is repeated constantly, but it's really not true. Trump would be twice as wealthy today ($20B) if he just invested his $40 Million inheritance in the S&P 500, doing nothing. And that is taking him at his word that his net worth is $10B, not the $4B reported by Forbes.

Business ‘Genius’ Trump Would’ve Been Richer If He Never Touched His Inheritence Money: Analysis

Trump Worth $10 Billion Less Than If He’d Simply Invested in Index Funds | Money Talks News

Money is worshiped to such an extent in this country that every single wealthy person is regarded as smart, business savvy and Lord knows what else-without thought or question to the specifics or background.

He is an entertainer (I'll even give him a successful entertainer), not a smart businessman. My Goldfish would be richer than Trump today if he had a $40M inheritance in the 1970s that he had someone invest in index funds for him.
