[quote=UB50;45141484]Trump gets paid a heck of a lot more than Hillary for giving speeches.

How much Donald Trump makes in speaking fees - Business Insider
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/donald...163428237.html
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.91657c0ec21f

As speaking fees go, Hillary Clinton’s allegedly scandalous $200,000 per engagement is chump change compared with Donald Trump’s $1.5 million.



Forbes Welcome

An examination of the highest speaking fees ever paid puts Donald Trump Donald Trump on top with the staggering $1.5 million the Learning Annex paid him for each speech he delivered at the company’s real estate “wealth expos” in 2006 and 2007, more than was earned from addresses by former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair

The question is: Who does Trump give these speeches too? Who would pay $1.5 million to hear Trump speak?[/QUOTE]

Here you are trying to be the expert on Trump speeches and you can't even mention one outfit he was paid the 1.5 million you claim he gets.

Please get back to us when you can answer your own claim.

Trump never related to the 'little guy.' Sometimes historical context is required.

Remember when he wanted to drive the Pacer car at the Indy 500? There were so many complaints about him, he had to pull out (and, get this--In order to save face he said it was due to his 'Presidential run' in 2011).

"...In Indianapolis outrage came swiftly. Anti-Trump letters to the editor arrived at IndyStar containing words such as "embarrassment," "shamefulness," "a ridiculous celebrity figure." A Facebook page popped up urging Trump be replaced...

"...group of local Baptist ministers who want Trump replaced because of what they say are his racist comments related to Trump's push for President Obama to release his birth certificate and school records..."


From the archives: Donald Trump backs out of driving Indy 500 pace car

And Trump is?

Please.

This never-ending yammering about HRC's "corruption" and "scandals" and "fragile health" is getting drowned out with legitimate concerns over why Trump’s campaign staff and businesses have such a disturbing number of connections to Russia and Russian interests.

The controversy over Donald Trump's ties to Russia, explained - Vox

"After his bankruptcy and business failures roughly a decade ago Trump ... has been blackballed by all major US banks," and has "rebuilt his financial empire with a heavy reliance on capital from Russia."

Trump & Putin. Yes, It's Really a Thing

Alarm bells are going off all over the place.

The name of the 'outfit' is the Learning Annex...a real estate and wealth building expo company owned by Bill Zanker and based in New York City. They used to have "Trump Expo" through the group and reportedly was paid $1.5 million for a one hour speech.

Trump is also unique for how much he charged his own companies for his services...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...b54_story.html

Quote:
Trump was the chairman of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts in Atlantic City from 1995 to 2009, his only outing as the head of a major public company. During that time, the company lost more than $1 billion, financial records show. He also was chief executive from 2000 to 2005, during which time share prices plunged from a high of $35 to as low as 17 cents.

Trump received more than $44 million in salary, bonuses and other compensation during his time at the company, filings show. He also benefited from tens of millions of dollars more in special deals, advisory fees and “service agreements†he negotiated with his company.
Yes, Trump charged his own company "advisory fees" for his input into how the company should be run.

His campaign is being run the same way with millions being funneled from his campaign into his businesses for "services"...

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/22/us...ents.html?_r=0

Quote:
While most candidates list an array of vendors providing goods and services on their filings, Mr. Trump’s is packed with payments to his various clubs and buildings, his fleet of planes and his family. The self-proclaimed billionaire is required by law to account for his spending this way to prevent his companies from making illegal corporate donations to his campaign. In 2015, about $2.7 million was paid to at least seven companies Mr. Trump owns or to people who work for his real estate and branding empire, repaying them for services provided to his campaign.

Only in the mind of a cult member is having an education seen as bad. Not surprising since it's been shown that most of the cult are uneducated idiots. This forum proves that day after day after day.
phma has displayed over and over again a blatant anti-American sentiment on here. A sentiment that is also anti-intellectual. Embarrassing. Supremely moronic. I wouldn't take too seriously anything phma has to say.

I just don't see it being better. It would give the Clintons a green light to form a criminal syndicate in government from the W.H. on down and put not only SCOTUS but federal judges on their payroll. That is what they did in Arkansas. That can't possibly end well for most people.
We know the Justice Department and the IRS are in the tank already under Obama. How much crime do we need in government to be better off ?
They did not put judges on their payroll in Arkansas. That is a total lie.

WOW .......... personal attack from a dishonest ignorant moron who supports terrorist and his brain damage candidate. So devoid of intellectual thought that he can't grasp the pro American ideas of Trump even when explained by liberal media as being so.
Trying to redirect and mirror back the anti American positions of the most corrupt person to run for office in 50 years, if not ever.
Harvard is a socialist reeducation camp for liberal elites. Set up to put the most destructive people with their anti American policy's into government. Saudi funded to push radical Islam down to elementary school children in effort to raise future supporters of terrorist. These are the kind of anti American ideas the ignorant poster desires to help destroy American from within. These are not even close to the pro American ideas this country was founded on.

He sees a thread like this and breaks out in a rash of hate directed at the OP because his position is so weak he can't form an honest thought in defense of his sick opinion. I must be doing my job well when I bring out the unhinged average liberal who melts down blubbering like a liberal pundit.

You're a special kind of stupid aren't you?

I've seen you get called out in thread after thread after thread to provide sources and information for your wild claims. You never do. Instead, just like your boy Drumpf, you double down and come up with something even more asinine.

Come on man, your ranting doesn't even make sense...is Harvard a socialist re-education camp for liberal elites OR is it a Saudi funded effort to push radical Islam onto elementary school students.

This is the creepiest election in my lifetime. That glazed look Hilly gets is exactly like my mother looked when she was getting dementia. Trump is like my old boss, who was too arrogant, impulsive and made big mistakes.

Both candidates are old and weird, and even Bernie was old and weird. We are messing up, people.
