Construction is a "mobile" profession. You go from job to job.

I wonder how many he has employed IN TOTAL over time, and how much he has payed in wages compared to Starbucks, not just a snapshot in time.
He has paid little in wages as he doesn't like to pay people.

Of COURSE it is UNPRECEDENTED.

How many OTHER Presidential nominees have owned a business empire as LARGE as Trump's and are involved in the construction trade plus others?

This is the TYPICAL liberal story that pushes a false narrative story line in order to make the candidate look "bad".

And little libs soak it right up!

It is a shame they CAN'T think for themselves and have to have someone do it for them.

I'll be waiting for your list of other Presidential candidates that are equal to Trump in his business dealings.

Hillary Clinton may get 95 votes from retired generals but Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 19 points 55 percent to 36 percent among voters who are currently serving or have previously served in the U.S. military. Everybody gets one vote each.

Ahem, Starbucks sells coffee to the public. There is no coffee grown in the U.S. Hence, if one wants to sell coffee, one has to buy it from a foreign country that sells it.

I am sure this comes as a shock to you.

As for Trump, he has a choice of where to have his ties manufactured. He could have them made domestically and pay American worker wages or he could have them made in China at depressed wages and save the difference as profit for himself. We know what he chose to do.

When put in context is pretty low. Romney led Obama by 40% ( 66 percent to 26 percent) among that group, who typically support Republicans.

Sorry, others with "business empires" don't get sued as much as Trump does. Trump had more lawsuits involving his name than five top real-estate business executives combined, the report stated.

Thanks for cleaning up the mess left by Trump backers with their nonsense.

The only place in America that has a climate where coffee plants can thrive is in Hawaii. Kona coffee is good but they can't grow it in very large quantities and since it depends on volcanic soil and high elevations, it's not like they can increase their production. Trump ties, on the other hand, could be made in every single state in the union if he wanted to invest in American workers. Starbucks, as a company, has high standards for ethical sourcing in their business model (meaning no slave labor, fair-market prices and helping small farmers form co-ops, etc. etc.) Trump doesn't know how to spell the word, 'ethics' and will sell out American textile workers to save five cents.

Nobody remembers the score or who got the silver medal. They just remember who won.
