If I put "eye state your name" brand on an Apple Computer that I bought to use at my office, I guess I am a successful computer company owner, too. Right? I didn't build the computer. I didn't design, market or sell the computer, but I slapped my label on it and that makes it MY PRODUCT. Right?

I know. Trump actually thinks he can hold up a Bush Brothers steak and imply that because these steaks are served at a Trump brand hotel, that makes them "Trump Steaks"? Gotta hand it to Trump, he knows his supporters. They didn't even blink!

I'll wait
If there was a $280K profit why is the company out of business? And why did Trump orchestrated a press conference to mislead people into believing that the generic bottled water he buys for his hotel is a product from HIS failed bottled water business Trump Ice?

I'll wait.

You can try and misdirect the issue, but Trump is a liar and he orchestrated an entire press conference to lie to anyone who watched it.

Ok--I think this is great for the late night comedians, but isn't it extraordinarily bizarre for a candidate with 30 flags behind him (in order to look more presidential) to be standing next to a table full of food products to try to prove that something someone, who he calls a loser, said about him his wrong (even though it wasn't?).

Who does this kind of thing other than George Costanza?

It goes to his massive insecurities that people might not know or believe how great he is, because someone said something negative about him.

It makes one wonder why he didn't whip it out in the last debate to prove Rubio wrong...unless, of course, Rubio is right. It must kill Trump to not be allowed to prove that one--just boast about how big it is and gross everyone out.

Do we seriously believe that this Shamwow guy is going to be president? This would be a whole lot worse than Berlusconi.

It is very telling that Trump supporters are unwilling or incapable of seeing this staged event for what it really is and what it says about Trump's ego and lack of character.

Again I say no, because they sell to all companies and let them put their labels on the bottles.

Trump very much asserts that things are his company, as if he has a direct hand in the materials, distribution, etc. Its no different than him claiming he is a great builder, when he really is no longer a builder. He makes his money from licensing.

If I go to the dollar store and buy a case of generic salad dressing and slap a personalized "eye state your name" label on it and give the salad dressing out to my friends and neighbors as gifts, do I own a salad dressing company?

Trump represented at that press conference that he is the owner of a successful bottled water company by doing just what I suggest.

we can all agree that trump had nothing to do with the production and bottling of the water. but there's one major point being overlooked......

romney never mentioned the water.

trump is trying to debunk something that wasn't said.

What is it with you Trump apologists that you assume that if someone doesn't support Donald Trump, you must be a Democrat?


Are you so blinded by your own version of reality that you do not realize that Trump is resented by the vast majority of his own party?
