Well, assuming your conclusion is correct that the Clinton foundation is corrupt and should be shut down, it still doesn’t surprise me that the Trump Foundation was shuttered first. Because the Clinton Foundation is involved in lots of legitimate charitable work. Therefore, assuming they’re corrupt, it’s easier to hide. The Trump Foundation on the other hand is an easier target because it’s likely an outright sham that does little to no actual charity.

As a guy who can't stand politicians and wanted to see a businessman running things since Perot back in 1992, I had no choice but to vote for him. And he's gotten some good things done despite relentless media attacks and the "RESIST" movement started the day after he was elected by the sore losers.

But he's done. Trump isn't going to be around in 2020 to run again. There are too many of his staff in trouble or in prison. Too many scandals, too much shady behavior. Trump's Foundation was just shut down for Pete's sake and you can't blame the media for that one. Chris Matthews predicted Trump will resign within a few weeks and that prediction might just happen.

I'm throwing in the towel. Give me Mark Cuban next time around, and I don't care which party he runs under. Only thing is, Cuban is too smart to give up the life he has to be president. So it will probably be back to the usual assortment of Crooked Clintons and Low Energy Jebs the next time around. This country deserves what it gets.
I am really surprised that you said that!

^Yes, total sham. And what a hoot that Trump is banned from serving on boards of directors for charities. The President of the United States is too corrupt and untrustworthy to work for any charities. Unbelievable.

Well, every American experiment sets a precedent.
If Mark Cuban is a thorough crook it will come out.

At the very least trump family will serve as a warning.
If it s illegal it 'll come out. Dont run. Dont try and fool America.

It was so clear the he'd sold out, that it is surprising Trump wasn't finished at that moment.
Exactly!

From Reagen to Clinton to Obama, they have all been hand drawn by artists in a derogatory way to media skits that demonize them in order to get a rise out of them yet they publically ignored it because only feeds it more otherwise.

Trump on the other hand cannot wait to get on twitter to comment on it publically to millions of people and then act surprised when it feeds back on itself.


There is an old saying I heard years ago and as time goes on is proven more true every day.

1/3 of the people will dislike you, another 1/3 will like you and the last 1/3 will not give a crap either way.

As a Democrat, I really hope trump is around for 2020. He’s singlehandedly rebuilding the party.
