[W:720, 995]Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

???

An “anonymous source” specifically told the NYT that Bush would not be VOTING for Trump.

Bush had to come out himself and clear up the situation.

This is why it is unethical to purposely withhold an anonymously sourced story until the week before ballots are mailed out.

So seriously....is this your first cult?

Or what about other MLM schemes?

I’m curious to know if this phenomenon is new, or culls from other organizations, or is just straight up paid for by Putin. I tend towards the middle explanation, but appropriate research needs to be done on the other possibilities.

First, he will raise income tax rates. When he says his rate increases apply only to those earning 400k, he’s lying. He’s already said taxpayers will pay higher rates under his plan.

Second, he will impose higher taxes upon businesses which will cause those costs to be passed on to the consumer. That is a hidden tax. He supports increases in the gasoline tax.

He will re-impose regulations on businesses and industry which will cause an increase in the price of their products.

You're making it all up. Why? Can't you simply write the truth? You make accusations without one link. You seem to have forgotten (or maybe you don't know) that taxes are imposed by Congress. The President signs the bills.

Re the Federal Gasoline Tax has not been increased since 1993 and it's only $0.184 per gallon. Do you know what that tax is used for? It's for keeping our roads modern. It's way overdue to raise that tax. If it were raised by $0.05 per gallon it would raise billions of dollars for our roads and bridges. Can you afford an extra 5 cents per gallon?

I’ll bet that Trump has spent more of his own money on his campaigns than any candidate in US history.

Then you would lose the bet. Trump spent $65M in 2016 (he had pledged he would spend $100M of his own money).

Trump Spent Far Less Than Clinton, but Paid His Companies Well - The New York Times

The figures also show that Mr. Trump put in $65 million of his own cash, well short of the $100 million he had originally promised he would spend on his campaign.

Mike Bloomberg spent more than $900M.

Michael R. Bloomberg spent more than $900 million on his failed bid for the White House by the end of February

LBJ went to Washington DC with total assets less than $100.00. He left a multi millionaire.


Bill and Hillary Clinton had accumulated very little wealth. Now they are worth hundreds of millions.


The Obama’s had accrued very little, but now are among the wealthiest in the nation. Is that just a coincidence?

How much money do you think they made from their books and speaking engagements after they left office???

So you are saying you'd like to have a guy as President who spend $900 million and lost. That's spending money well.

A man of his word. “Millions of shovel ready jobs“. “You can keep your doctor”. “You can keep your plan” “Your premiums will be reduced by thousands of dollars a year“. Yep, a man if his word.

I wrote this about Obama:

(doesn't mean he hasn't lied but very rarely)

Trump has lied more than TWENTY THOUSAND TIMES. You do not address that nor hold it against him? Trump is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. A Pathological Liar is someone with a genuine mental illness. Trump has a MENTAL ILLNESS. He's still lying and insisting that he "won" the popular vote in 2016. Trump lies and you ignore it...
 
ReubenSherr said:
Anonymous sources are the way of getting the truth out?

Like the anonymous source who reported to the New York Times that Bush wouldn’t be voting for Trump?

And Bush had to come out himself and explain that the anonymous source was wrong, or lying?

Please show us where Bush said it was a lie that he won't vote for Trump. Please?

Thank you.

Because the contrast between Obama and Trump are so incredible. Obama is a man of his word (doesn't mean he hasn't lied but very rarely) versus Trump who is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.

I showed you where Obama's word didn't mean much.

The Clinton’s and the Obama’s. Before them, LBJ.

AFTER THEY LEFT OFFICE. I don't know about LBJ. The Clintons and Obamas made their money from books they wrote and speaking engagements after they left the White House. Prove me wrong or please stop making baseless claims that are not the truth

Prove it...Show us all how any Dem President made "millions" while in office or please stop LYING.

Good gawd. Both the Clinton's and Obama's leave the White House and immediately move into two of the most exclusive areas on the east coast.

I never said anything of the sort. Please do not type lies about what I wrote. I was answering another poster's request for a bet that Trump spent more of his own money running for President than anyone ever did. I made no judgment either way.

Cults usually don't show up en masse and act civil.Like Again how they did
at Trump's last Rally.{ In Latrobe,Pa. } Like the beer.They patiently waited thru the rain
and peacefully enjoyed themselves in the company of their leader.
Unlike how Democrat big city's hold Rallys.The exact opposite.As Unamerican and
uncivil as if In Hitler's Munich where Storm Troopers waited to butt heads with anyone
seen as Unhitler-like.No such Thing happens at a Trump rally.No Butting heads or
making trouble for anyone.Even If an Anti-Trumper.
Like we saw during the Tea Party rally's.
Who also made sure to leave a venue as clean or cleaner than when they arrived.
Like the August 28th , 2010 - Restoring Honor Rally -
Unlike the Commie/activist led - One Nation Rally - on Oct. 10th.
Glenn Beck's - Restoring Honor - rally left the Washington Grounds spotless.
The - One Nation - 10/2 Rally left the grounds " looking like a pigsty ".
Plus - One Nation - attendees were seen smoking and milling around talking
when Our national anthem was being played.
