Here’s a partial list of Trump's corruption exploits:
- Trump’s casino bankruptcies, which left investors holding the bag while he skedaddled with their money
- Trump’s habit of refusing to pay contractors who had done work for him, many of whom are struggling small businesses
- Trump University, which includes not only the people who got scammed and the Florida investigation, but also a similar story from Texas where the investigation into Trump U was quashed.
- The Trump Institute, another get-rich-quick scheme in which Trump allowed a couple of grifters to use his name to bilk people out of their money
- The Trump Network, a multi-level marketing venture (a.k.a. pyramid scheme) that involved customers mailing in a urine sample which would be analyzed to produce for them a specially formulated package of multivitamins
- Trump Model Management, which reportedly had foreign models lie to customs officials and work in the U.S. illegally, and kept them in squalid conditions while they earned almost nothing for the work they did
- Trump’s employment of foreign guest workers at his resorts, which involves a claim that he can’t find Americans to do the work
- Trump’s use of hundreds of undocumented workers from Poland in the 1980s, who were paid a pittance for their illegal work
- Trump’s history of being charged with housing discrimination
- Trump’s connections to mafia figures involved in New York construction
- The time Trump paid the Federal Trade Commission $750,000 over charges that he violated anti-trust laws when trying to take over a rival casino company
- The fact that Trump is now being advised by Roger Ailes, who was forced out as Fox News chief when dozens of women came forward to charge him with sexual harassment. According to the allegations, Ailes’s behavior was positively monstrous; as just one indicator, his abusive and predatory actions toward women were so well-known and so loathsome that in 1968 the morally upstanding folks in the Nixon administration refused to allow him to work there despite his key role in getting Nixon elected.Oh please. This is just further proof that he's cut his teeth in the business world. And clearly...he deserves a shot as the highest ranking government official in the world.
Amen, brother!
What the hell do we have to lose?

And besides, he knows more about the military than all the generals combined. He is an expert in making money through bankruptcy court and a military genius. How could he possibly be more qualified? Believe me, there could never be anybody more qualified.
Oh please. This is just further proof that he's cut his teeth in the business world. And clearly...he deserves a shot as the highest ranking government official in the world.
Amen, brother!

Hopefully we start losing the whole oppressive PC/Progressive path we're on. I'd look for a lot of deplorables to show up on Election Day, the one's that rarely or never vote because they're fed up with politics and normal politicians in general, folks that are not particularly active politically and are never polled. That's roughly half of the adult population. If enough deplorables show up it could be a long day for Ms. Clinton.

Unfortunately what the deplorables don't realize is that Trump is more of the same, only the packaging is different.

If he's more of the same, why all the hatred and anger toward him coming from Democrats? Obviously they don't view him as just "more of the same." Your theory doesn't hold up.
Evangelical pastors have loved to quote Philip Yancey as much as possible...we'll see if that continues...he makes great points here...
Famed Christian author: Trump 'stands against everything Christianity believes'
Christian author Philip Yancey recently issued a harsh rebuke of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying the businessman "stands against everything Christianity believes."
Yancey told Evangelical Focus, a Christian outlet, that he's dumbfounded by just how fervently evangelical Christians are supporting Trump.
"I am staggered that so many conservative or evangelical Christians would see a man who is a bully, who made his money by casinos, who has had several wives and several affairs — that they would somehow paint him as a hero, as someone that we could stand behind," he said.
Yancey said he understands agreeing with certain policies, but he simply can't comprehend who so many Christians are aligning themselves with Trump in light of perceived negative attributes.
"I could understand that maybe you choose these policies that you support ... but to choose a person who stands against everything Christianity believes as the hero, the representative, the one who we get behind enthusiastically is not something that I understand at all," he added.
Watch Yancey's comments below:
The author also warned of the intertwining of religion and politics, saying that, in Europe, there are examples of Christian denominations being set back decades by inappropriately intertwining themselves with government.
Then, when government acts — or is suddenly seen as — ineffective and corrupt, the churches, too, end up harmed in the public eye.
Yancey proposed that there could be fertile ground for Christians to help nonbelievers discover the gospel, even as America continues to secularize.
"As the United States grows more and more secular ... I tell my people we are becoming more like the fertile soil in which the early church did best," he said.
Yancey's comments come as evangelicals are rallying around Trump's candidacy ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 8 election. While many evangelicals and Christians more broadly agree with his assessment, others have defended Trump.
Author Eric Metaxas is among the pool of prominent evangelicals who are supporting Trump, proclaiming in an interview with "The Chuch Boys" earlier this summer that it's essential that Christians choose the GOP nominee.
"Donald Trump, when people paint him as some immoral monster — do you even know what an immoral monster is?" Metaxas said. "Do you know who Stalin was, who Hilter was, who Pol Pot was, who Idi Amin was?"
He continued, "You may not like him, but the idea that we kinda write him off as pure evil … those folks are simply not thinking clearly."
Metaxas encouraged Christians to take an objective look at the political landscape, drawing a distinction between Trump and Clinton, while acknowledging the critique that Trump is simply unpredictable.
"Better to gamble with somebody who might pick the wrong person than to allow someone to get into the office who, without any doubt, will pick the wrong person,” he said of the president's ability to appoint Supreme Court justices.
Others, too, have said that Trump is a Christian who, at some point over the past decade, has rededicated himself to God. Listen to Metaxas' comments here.
As The Pew Research Center noted, the once-skeptical Christian cohort is now overwhelmingly willing to support Trump, with nearly 90 percent of regular GOP churchgoers saying in June that they'd opt for Trump over Clinton.
And evangelicals, more specifically, were among the wariest of Trump during the primaries; that same group, though, is now overwhelmingly on his side, with 94 percent of Republican evangelicals saying they'd choose Trump over Clinton.
The NY attorney general has hit the Trump Foundation with a cease-and-desist order...
Trump Foundation Ordered by New York AG to Stop Fundraising
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office on Monday ordered the Donald J. Trump Foundation to "immediately cease soliciting contributions" after a report that the charity lacked the proper authorization to seek public donations.
"The Attorney General's office is the sole regulator of charities in New York State, and when evidence of clear misconduct is brought to our attention, we take action," a spokesman for the attorney general's office said in a statement.
The "Notice of Violation" letter obtained by NBC News warned that the charity "shall be deemed a continuing fraud upon the people of New York" unless it provided required paperwork regarding its fundraising activities within the next 15 days.
The move comes after the Washington Post reported last week that the campaign lacked a required state certification that would allow it to request funding from the public. Trump organized a veterans event after cancelling a primary debate appearance in January and collected $1.67 million through a website directing donations to the Trump Foundation.

Oopsie, paperwork must have gone in the same pile as the ones Crooked H signed when starting at the State dept., which had to do with how to handle classified information. Could never find signed copies of those documents, must of been a simple mistake. Don't recall a front page story about it though.
The fact that he has two weeks to file means its just a simple paperwork oversight.

The foundation has been operating illegally for years. Now that they have been found out, they have 15 days to provide the paperwork or be shut down completely. It wasn't any kind of oversight.
Nice try, though. No wait, it wasn't. It was a Christie-Giuliani type of spin. 😛
I don't condone tax evasion or welfare fraud, however I do find it comical that the same individuals who get so angry about people who are "gaming the system" to get as much welfare as possible, think it is perfectly fine and "smart" of Drumpf to game the system to pay as little taxes as possible.

The irony of Trump not paying taxes & claiming to be brilliant is that on multiple occasions he has criticized others for not paying their fair share. Can't have it both ways. I'm OK with not paying taxes if one plays according to the IRS regulations. The problem is Trump's hypocrisy on this issue.

I don't think Trump paid taxes because his vast income exists only in his mind.

The IRS will accept that excuse? Sounds pretty good..

Oh good. Captain Snark is back to share his stupidity with us. 😛
Trump’s history of corruption is mind-boggling. So why is Clinton supposedly the corrupt one?
Perhaps because the Clintons have abused their position in public office to engage in corruption?
Just a guess.
Few women pay any attention to the old dykes club in general and Gloria Steinheim in particular.
Just refreshing some old classics from the vault.
