Well, what we have now is [Trump living in a skew universe when it comes to facts and truth](https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/46a4f1b3-3b7e-3fa4-a2e4-c3f057deef26/ss_trump-says-mueller-just.html). No offense, but I think you (and the Yahoo editor/newsbot) got whooshed a bit there. The article clicks through to a satire column by the New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz. A good illustration of how Trump is Poe’s Law incarnate. 😛 ---

Sad that we have so much trouble telling the difference anymore. How \*do \*you satirize all of this? ---

A good illustration of how Trump is Poe’s Law incarnate. 😛 Yep. But, as has been pointed out on this board by others wiser then I am, it’s definitely quite difficult to tell the difference between a satire of Trump and the man himself. :smack: ---

Trump ass-licker Jack Kingston just said on CNN “I don’t even believe that Mueller is a Republican”. I guess that’s the new tactic, claim the head of the investigation is secretly partisan. ---

Now he just complained that the investigation is spreading too wide, mentioned how the Whitewater investigation turned up Monica Lewinsky. Not mentioned is that he still voted for Clinton’s impeachment. I guess he wasn’t _that_ distressed that time. ---

> [@standingwave](#): > > [How Donald Trump Got Rich - Business Insider](http://www.businessinsider.com/how-donald-trump-got-rich-2016-3) > > From the article towards the end: > > So, if Trump were to write a book on what really made him rich, it would be something like: “The Art of Taking Huge Risks with Huge Amounts of Start-Up Capital,” which would be an interesting book, although I do admit “The Art of the Deal” is catchier. > > Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk I would argue that he himself takes no risks. His start up capital comes from suckers, blinded by the fake “glamor” of the Trump “brand”. Morons. Suckers. He takes his money up front. They use his name (or brand). He then saddles their new company with his personal debts and bills. They go bust, the contractors and workers go unpaid, and he skates away to do it again and again. He doesn’t have to front his money. He doesn’t have to build anything. He doesn’t have to Do anything. And from what we’ve seen of his “negotiating” an Deal making" skillz, he probably doesn’t do any of that either. Some flunky does it for him. He’s just there to take all the money and the credit. No risk. That is the bizniz model. A con, from start to finish. I’m amazed no one ever “whacked” him. ---
