> [@SteveG1](#): > > I originally come from Queens, New York. WE knew about him LONG ago. He was scum then, he is scum now. Originally from and still in Queens, and I concur wholeheartedly. Many of us knew when he built that paeon to his ego, Trump Tower. Since then, all he’s done is slap his name on a bunch of overpriced shit, build an ethically-challenged empire to his ego, legally but immorally walk out on money owed, cheat hard-working men and women simply because he could, and run a bunch of companies into the ground. And that’s me being nice in describing his history. ---

Gen. J. Franklin Bell — the commander of the Philippines Division — to Pershing provide “strong evidence” that the U.S. forces did use pigs as a tactic against Muslim insurgents during that era. Nevertheless, they do not support the claims Trump made, he said. > > “There is no evidence that Pershing himself committed these acts, there is nothing said about the use of 50 bullets dipped in pig’s blood, and most important, there is no evidence to support Trump’s claim that this tactic was effective in stopping violence — or that it would provide a useful policy today,” Jacobson wrote. So we can agree that Mr. Trump is pig-ignorant? ---
