Not orange man...he lives on in their heads...maybe for decades.
Meh. I think you got your blinders on still. Trumpers are the ones who cannot stop interjecting him into everything. If you guys weren't constantly crying about something with him he'd be gone from my mind, especially since he's fled the north east anyhow.

You might be onto something LOL.
I preemptively took off January 6th to watch the chaos unfold and have the timecard to prove it. Talk of storming the Capitol occurred at least a month beforehand all over the Internet. Either Trump knew the intentions of the mob, or his closest confidants hid everything from him. Either way, he looks like a loser.

Your claims are contradictory.

It's either the greatest economy in US history... or it isn't... Making excuses isn't good form.

Here is my proof.


I have no blinders on, as I do not care for the man.


However, I notice anytime anyone brings up something outside or opposite of democrat/left thinking...."you MUST be a Trumper" is the call. They ALWAYS seem to attempt to marginalize you by invoking Trump's name. You can almost set your watch to it.



Well...nope. It IS possible to have alternative views and NOT get them from orange man.

When Trump's casino opened there, it was the only one, but when others saw him raking it in, they opened casino's too, and the market became over-saturated.

EVERY state surrounding Atlantic City NJ used to prohibit gambling when Trump's casino opened in NJ. Soon thereafter, EVERY state surrounding NJ changed their laws to allow gambling, so no need to travel to Atlantic City NJ anymore.

A Hurricane struck Atlantic City, and closed everything down for almost 2 years.

Trump is a Billionaire who built upon his Father's gift of Millions. Its not easy to turn Millions into Billions. That is why America has 12,000,000 Millionaires, and just 614 Billionaires. Did you turn Millions into Bilions?

Donald Trump NEVER EVER filed for a personal bankrupcy, but a few of his companies did..."UGE difference.

Quit believing the Liberal news sources you frequent, and research some of these things on your own.
Trump did NOT have the first casino in AC. Trump had the 8th casino in Atlantic City and another one a few years later

This link lists them all with open and close dates. Trump's was the first one to close down.

Closed 1999
Building demolished 2001

He funneled taxpayer money into his family's businesses (I don't have an issue with him golfing. I have a BIG problem with him golfing at Trump owned resorts. That he allowed taxpayer money to be spent at his family businesses was offensive, to say the least). He has no moral compass, and has a history of running every business he runs into the ground.

He's a high ego, low intelligence executive who was handed everything by his father. I'm a VP at a fortune 200 company, I work with more than a few personalities like his, and they are toxic to whatever organization they run.

IMO, both bolded are especially pointed, succinct, effective ways to put that information .

My thinking is Desantis is a lot like Trump. He doesn't put up with much and he lets it be known how he feels about things. He's not afraid of the media and those that oppose him, just as Trump wasn't afraid. Desantis won't be a suger-coater just as Trump was.

Some people say they would prefer Desantis but if his attitude is very similar to Trumps then I prefer Trump. We've already seen what he can do amid all the false accusation of the media and dems. He kept plugging along no matter how Pelosi tried to stop him. She spent the whole 4 years trying to pull him down but she was unsuccessful. She wasted so much time on this. It was clear then she didn't care about the country.

I, personally hope Trump runs again. I think people have learned their lesson to vote against Trump again. They see what can happen. At least we know Trump loves the country and won't try to be a dictator and control us. He's got the experience. If the left don't like him, who cares...that's on them to hate the country. We're not going to make them happy no matter who runs so I just hope Trump runs again and can straighten some of this mess out. I think if anyone can, it would be him.

Wrong.


Nancy and Chuck got Trump to cave on each year's Omnibus spending bills.

wait, if I go in the casino and bet on every roulette slot, then I will win more money than I bet?

Why don't we have 330 million billionaires then?
