Add Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka and using Chinese steel instead of Pennsylvania steel to build Trump Tower to that list. Oh, and class action suits never resolved in Atlantic City during the Taj Mahal days. The guy is the absolute worst real-estate businessman in American history. ---

“I’m either going slap you in the face or tear the fingers off your right hand-you decide.” “Since they are both things I don’t want, I’m just going refuse to pick one over the other.” :rolleyes: ---

If that’s not bad enough, he used Trump Foundation money to do so. Not a bribe some will say :rolleyes: It’s still a violation of federal rules preventing foundations from donating to political candidates. But I guess that’s OK, because… Republicans would be having cats if a Democrat did this. Hypocrisy is a republican way of life. ---

Oh, and class action suits never resolved in Atlantic City during the Taj Mahal days. The guy is the absolute worst real-estate businessman in American history. The list is a LOT longer than that. But we should probably stick to his outright criminal activity. Being a shitty business man is not illegal, although some of his deals most surely are. ---

I’ve never supported Trump; I just didn’t want to see Hillary Clinton push her gun ban agenda. That said, trolling the butthurt snowflakes is hysterically funny. ---

Oh, and class action suits never resolved in Atlantic City during the Taj Mahal days. The guy is the absolute worst real-estate businessman in American history. Add throwing our long term allies the Kurds under the bus. In a move that even Lindsay Graham said: “This impulsive decision by the president has undone all the gains we’ve made, thrown the region into further chaos,” he said, adding: “I hope I’m making myself clear how shortsighted and irresponsible this decision is in my view.” That’s OK though? Screwing our allies, destabilizing the region and making the world a better place for ISIS is OK as long as Trump does it? ---

I think we had a thread or two near the beginning about what it would take for Trump supporters on this board to not support him any more. If anyone with better Google Fu than I can locate these threads it would be much appreciated…and by “much appreciated” I mean “the beer is on me the next time you are in Portland.” ---

> [@Lumpy](#): > > I’ve never supported Trump; I just didn’t want to see Hillary Clinton push her gun ban agenda. That said, trolling the butthurt snowflakes is hysterically funny. Every Democrat president supposedly had a “gun ban agenda.” Nobody’s guns were taken away. Certain accessories were made illegal to sell, which impacted about a cunt hair’s worth of firearms owners. What makes you think Hilary could have rounded up the guns? Really, I’d like to know. ---

> [@Northeast\_Refugee](#): > > What’s there to reveal? DNC and Clinton campaign funneled millions of dollars to Russian operatives to collect dirt on Clinton’s political enemy.
