Yeah, the smartest thing any business person can do is be quite about their business.
Word of mouth is a bad thing when you're in business.
Morons should teach business management. Oh--yeah ---they do.
Hillary pimps her slush fund foundation.

TV's were constantly improving and use TV's were cheep and worked fine. Many families had two or three of them.

Today a pair of good sneakers or tennis shoes cost over a $100 up to $300 for the name brands kids think the have to have. At $ 12.00 bucks an hour how long does it take to pay for them. At .50 per hour I could buy that $10.00 pair of shoes in a few days work mowing lawns or working fast food jobs.
Shoes were $10.00 and when I worked like kids could back then I bought my own. My parents didn't pay the tab for them.

School lunches were $1.25 for the week and a loaf of bread was .10 cent.

We didn't have the wasteful materialistic culture of today.

So, basically what you are saying is "I got mine, too bad for you." Trump is all about trade. He's said over and over again he wants to tear up the trade deals we have now and create new ones. He wants TARIFFS. Tariffs raise the cost of products.

Also, maybe your family was rich and had lots of TVs, but we never did. We had a B&W TV for the longest time.

He shouldn't even be doing this. He's running for President of the USA. That's a full time job, not a part time hobby. No wonder the RNC and donors are ticked at him!

He came up with a schedule where he would do like 10 donor events over 10 days and they said he should have done all of those in two days, not 10. He's LAZY.

Note to self: don't ever get on the wrong side of Scotland.

My Twitter feed today has been full of Scots calling Trump hilarious names. Many of them too 'colorful' to repeat here. My favorite is "manky old duckbutt".

Default How the foreign press sees Donald Trump

Trump was in Scotland today and this story came out about his appearance:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-arrives-in-uk

Towards the end of the article, the writer says "It is unusual for a US presidential candidate to use an overseas trip to make a naked pitch for business but Trump does not see it like that. It was the ninth such visit to one of his hotels or resorts since the campaign began. In an odd twist, he said countries could learn lessons from running golf clubs."

The reporter noted that David Cameron was not meeting with Trump. He also wrote "I said no senior UK or Scottish politician wanted to meet him, citing Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond, and suggested it was because he was toxic. Taking offence at the question, he described me as “a nasty, nasty guy”.

I don't think Trump is going to get along well with the foreign press.

Donald Trump is not a very smart candidate. It is the summer of 2016, an election year. What is the presumptive presidential candidate doing? On the campaign trail? Nope ... he's pitching a golf course in Scotland! I'm sure more than a few Republican strategists are miffed at him.
