I wanted to be able to properly vet a Presidential candidate. He's as untrustworthy as he is incompetent.

Melania Trump Lawsuit Argues 'Once In A Lifetime' Chance To Make Millions Is Lost
Melania Trump Sues For Millions, Arguing She's Losing Out Because Of Defamatory Escort Allegations : NPR

It really is "a little icky all around."
I admit I don't know the specifics of Melania's lawsuit, but I did read a quote from the blogger being sued by Mrs. Trump, Daily Mail deleted their quote, that called her a "known" escort. I would sue, too, if someone called me an escort and I wasn't. For millions.

Do you mean like the community organizer with extremist friends was properly vetted?

He'll likely make some back with his recent trademark approval in China, around the same time he adopted the 'one China' policy and threw Taiwan under the bus.

Suing because of what was said/wrote is one thing, claiming it impacted "major business opportunities that were otherwise available to her" is another thing.

The Trumps seem to do what is in their own best interest & not necessarily what is in the best interest of the American people & the Country.

One more proof that since announcing his presidential run, the Trump brand has been going down, not going up.

This is good news. 10 billion dollars net worth my butt.

My opinion is the Trump family is wealthy beyond any previous president and are altruistic about the office of President and the people, regular Americans, they chose to serve.

Since people thought it would be cool to elect a good businessman for president, does that means there are 220 people who might make a better president than Trump?

What's much worse is the US Brand is going down with him as President.

I dunno about you, but I'd prefer a businessman who didn't lose almost a $billion dollars in one year.
