Things You Might Like To Remember

The best news for a Monday……

I recently said that I would not post anymore on the con artists that was thinking about running for the GOP nomination….TRUMP….I lied!

First let me remind my readers….I have always said that he would make his decision on 16 May and that would be NOT to run….And today’s date is…WHAT?!?  Damn!  I do love being right….(he said giddily)

But for those people that thought even for a moment, that Trump would make a good president and BTW that includes Huckabee, who is also NOT running, maybe there are a few things that you will need to remember before you even consider this consummate con man as a viable candidate…….

Salon.com’s reporter Justin Elliot has summed it up for those too lazy to Google…….

  • The time he killed a pro sports league As the owner of a team in the fledgling United States Football League in the 1980s, Trump “led the USFL into a self-destructive, all-out war with the NFL” that culminated in a disastrous anti-trust lawsuit and, ultimately, the premature death of the USFL.
  • That his clothing line is made in China Even as Trump bashes the quality of Chinese manufacturing and bemoans outsourcing, his Donald J. Trump Signature Collection of suits and ties is made in China.
  • How he wildly exaggerates his wealth Trump claims his net worth is as high as $7 billion, but various independent estimates have put the figure an order of magnitude lower than that. Indeed, the requirement for presidential candidates to file a personal financial disclosure is one reason Trump will likely never be a candidate for office.
  • How he inflates his academic record Trump says he was a “really good student at the best school in the country;” multiple profiles early in his career claimed he graduated first in his college class. In fact, he was only admitted as a transfer student to the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania through a family connection, and he graduated without honors.
  • His poor grasp of the English language He once misspelled the word “too” in a letter of complaint to the Times’ Gail Collins. Here’s a sample semi-coherent Trump sentence: “Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many best sellers), is not at a very high level.”
    His multiple bankruptcies While describing himself as “a deal maker without peer,” Trump has in fact had more business bankruptices (4) than wives (3), as Katrina vanden Heuvel pointed out.
    When he was sued for not renting to African-Americans Early in his career, a major discrimination lawsuit was brought against Trump and his company, accused by the Justice Department of declining to rent to potential black tenants. Trump ultimately agreed to take steps to avoid discrimination without admitting guilt.
    His constant race-baiting Trump’s entire fake presidential campaign was characterized by racially tinged attacks and gaffes — from his obsession with birtherism to his baseless claim that President Obama did not deserve to get into Columbia and Harvard Law School to his now-famous boasts about “the blacks.”
    His long history of scamming the press Few remember it, but Trump’s first fake presidential campaign was way back in the 1988 cycle. He did it again in 2000. We’re living through the third iteration.

Please keep this post in mind the next time this weasel slithers into the political arena….he is a Liar and a com man and deserves NOTHING, especially from the media that was so in love with him as a candidate….and the people need to keep his game in mind so the next time he will NEVER be considered for anything other than a con man and a TV personality.

      1. Yeah – now you’ll have a straight choice between sh*t and crap instead of sh*t, crap and pig manure.

      2. Ah, yes… OK then: sh*t, crap, pig manure and bovine fecal matter. Thanx for pointing out my omission 😆

        However, I should point out in return that pig manure and bovine fecal matter were in some kind of unholy coalition – but as you say, that’s gone!
