  1. How Donald Trump Avoided Paying Taxes Using Other People’s Money : Mr. Trump structured his companies to allow him to have lucrative personal tax advantages, while limiting his personal liability should business go bad.

    Trump: 'There’s nothing like doing things with other people’s money':  Because it takes, the risk, you get a good chunk of it and it takes the risk. We’re going to do this, in this case, from a humanitarian standpoint. OPM: other people’s money.”

  3.  D. Trump asserts that he alone represents the true people,  the other parties are not legitimate representatives of the people ( rigged élections, MSM etc..)    After the "Yes" in the referendum on the Brexit, Nigel Farage spoke of a victory for the "real people." This means that the others, those who wanted to stay in the EU, are not the "real" people. The democratic system is in question.

    As a life long democrat I can say we have never had such an inferior candidate. My plan is to sit out this election. I just cannot hold my nose long enough to vote for her.  Even though I despise the alternative. 

     

    Maybe you could decide this way:

    - do not consider the 2 major candidates only  if you dislike both  

    - instead , take in consideration the core supporters of each camp

    - finally, vote against the ones you do not want to be assimilated to

    I thought maybe D. Trump had aged badly and was disoriented to such an extent that he lost memories of the lies he lied about.

    But this video shows he replays the seme scenario agin  and again since décades, pretending to have superior knowledge, but scarcely releasing proofs.   

    This recipe finally is his signature.    

  6. " Did other republicans elect him to be their presidential candidate"

     

    D. Trump obtained 1725 votes of delegates on 2446 gathered in Cleveland July 19, 2016 and has largely been designated Republican nominee for the US presidency in November.
    The other candidates, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Marco Rubio, collected respectively 475, 120 and 114 votes. Resigned from the primary, Ben Carson (7 votes), Jeb Bush (3 votes) and Rand Paul (2 votes), played the extras.

    Quote edited for brevity.

     

    I'm amazed that anyone thinks HRC will make a difference for ALL people when Obama hasn't been able to after 7 1/2 years. How many homeless people on the streets? You do know that poverty has INCREASED while he has been POTUS, don't you?

     

    - 1st result, Barack Obama has released America's recession created by the crisis of 2008. Within seven months , he reduced  taxes, extended the rights to unemployment and public spending, launched major projects in education and infrastructure to boost growth ... and it worked because in 2011, after 3 years , the growth was 3.9%.
    - 2nd result: the creation of jobs. During his terms, America has created nearly 16 million jobs, this is exceptional, especially given the circumstances. Barack Obama also saved 3 million jobs by buying General Motors and Chrysler in 2009, leading them to adopt a more respectful development strategy for the environment and innovate.
    3rd result: he initiated and imposed, against all odds, his reform of health care, making it costly and inefficient American system accessible to the weakest. 95% of the population is now covered. Barack Obama also came to supervise the banking system, without really go as far as he would have liked. But eight major areas of systemic risks weakening borrowers, or the casino economy of coaching were regulated.
    Finally, it has also led to serious fiscal and environmental reforms, and entered the world's largest commercial treaty, the Transpacific Treaty. In short proactive policies conducted quickly and efficiently in general, although there have been hiccups in its reform of health care.

    Very, veryn very interesting indeed, Worth reading, thank you for sharing

     "If your political priorities are the total defeat of a single politician – not the advancement of your own policies through debate or legislation – then you are already in pretty desperate shape. You render it impossible to compromise with your opponents, and you fan the flames of extremism that will burn anyone in the center"

    Trump Supporter Says “Hillary Needs To Be Taken Out”

     

    A Donald Trump supporter, speaking at an Ohio rally, appeared to suggest he would commit violence against Hillary Clinton if she was voted into power, saying, “Hillary needs to be taken out.”

    Terrible 

    So not only D. Trump alone is taking the shackles off , some of his paranoïd supporters are going freewheel " “If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup,” Bowman told the Globe. “She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it. We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take… I would do whatever I can for my country.”

    China’s Strange Trump Love :  http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/07/11/china-s-strange-trump-love.html

    "Trump and his business expend far more effort to please Chinese travelers and oligarchs than his grassroots supporters at home. Win or lose, he will walk away a rich man, and perhaps live to file for bankruptcy another day"

     

  11. " Here’s what we don’t know: Does Mr. Trump propose this collaboration with a regime obsessed with thwarting and weakening American power out of ignorance and naivete, or because of personal and business interests he has not disclosed? Mr. Putin surely knows the answer to that question — but U.S. voters do not."
