When typing in bold and all caps, it is a good sign someone has a need to walk away. Way to much angst for something that still has at least two more years to run. Starr + 4 years + Whitewater. Oh, almost forgot; +3 years for a very young Ms Lewinsky's dalliance.

Somehow, I don't think a 24,5 year old involved with a man two and a half times her age, in a astronomically more powerful position, viewed it in quite the same way.

Yeah, we have a long way to run yet. Take care of your health, we don't have as much of the PPACA to fall back on these days.

During an investigation they can prosecute for ALL CRIMES UNCOVERED!
Aren't you just soooo pissed they found N-O-T-H-I-N-G to charge HILLARY WITH?

Over ten billion in wealth, and you call that "failed businessman"?
Wow, you set the bar pretty high.

OK, the very basics.....

Even Trump admits he was at zero - relatively recently.

Given his inheritance, if he invested in the S&P or similar index he'd be worth about 20 Billion.
If he invested in Warren Buffets stock, he'd be worth closer to 200 Billion.

Now - play along. If you are an active King of Business, the idea is that you can do much better than an index, right????

Now - let's continue. One writer claimed Trump wasn't worth near a Billion. Trump took him to court - and LOST. When asked how he valued his holdings, Trump said he made them up depending on how he felt that day...

At this point - AFTER Russian money (for 20 years, but very heavy for the last decade or so), he may be worth 3 Billion. Maybe.

So, the quiz.....

Is making 1/10th the money of an index fund...while at the same time going bankrupt and ripping off bond holders, banks and contractors "failure" or "success"?

Is making, over 40 years, 1/100th of what you'd have made with a decent investor...."success" or "failure"?

The ONLY possible point to your classification of "success" is that he succeeded in squandering what should have been fortune that was GIVEN to him by his parents.

In my eyes that's a complete and utter failure.

I don't know anyone "who is out to destroy this man." I think(and I can't speak for everyone of course) that we ALL would benefit from a president who is of good moral character, doesn't lie every time he opens his potty mouth, and one who works to unite our country instead of the division Trump has caused.
I had no bad feelings towards Trump when he became president, he ruined that for me.

I don't care who he shags but, it's the payments I want to know about. Where they came from & if it involved campaign financing.
He is his own worst enemy.
As far as the Russia investigation being a 'witch hunt' as some call it, I say this, If Trump has nothing to hide then shut up and let this play out. Easy..and you know if a prosecutor finds another crime while investigating another he or she has to follow it up.
You say "we won't let you" please look t the other side and understand that Trump makes himself look shady and ask yourself do we want a president who does whatever they want or do we want someone who puts the good of the country first.

Yet he beat every single political opponent from both parties who came at him including all the leftists who call him a failure.

This speaks for itself.

Want to see real failure?

Of course, Mueller has Trump's tax returns.

Why wouldn't he?

He's following the money.

Even Eric has figured that one out by now.

I don’t think so. Some Russians I am sure did. But I doubt if they paid anything other than market value.
In 2008, Dmitry Rybolovlev bought the Palm Beach mansion owned by Trump for $13 million more than the most expensive Palm Beach mansion sale up to that moment. It's been almost a decade since the sale, but the transaction is newsworthy again as new questions surround contacts between members of Trump's administration and Russian government officials.

The basics..
Workaholics tend to die early if they don't work.
Trump is a workaholic.
If Trump would have tied up his money, as you would have had him do, he would have probably died early.
Dying early is okay as long as a person leaves a good investment portfolio?

I will never understand the lefts burning need to control other peoples lives.
