If the Russians think of funding Trump, will they be able to match the millions, or maybe billions, China has to fund the Bidens?

 

Um, China is funding who again?

 

$15M Turned Trump Into China's Chump: How Xi bought off America's President for a few million dollars and some trademark approvals

 

Quote

According to the Times, not only is Trump a loyal Chinese taxpayer—paying $188,000 in Chinese taxes in the years 2013-2015—he also keeps a hidden bank account there, one that received a suspiciously sudden windfall in 2017, the year Trump became President:

In 2017, the company reported an unusually large spike in revenue—some $17.5 million, more than the previous five years’ combined. It was accompanied by a $15.1 million withdrawal by Mr. Trump from the company’s capital account.

He cannot ask Exxon any more! ????

Trump told the rally: “Don’t forget, I’m not bad at that stuff anyway, and I’m president. So I call some guy, the head of Exxon. I call the head of Exxon. I don’t know.”

Trump went on to describe a hypothetical conversation: “How are you doing? How’s energy coming? When are you doing the exploration? Oh, you need a couple of permits?”

“When I call the head of Exxon I say, ‘You know, I’d love (for you) to send me $25 million for the campaign.’ ‘Absolutely sir,’” Trump added.

Man, I would swear that quote was produced by a random word generator.  There are a few DT message generators on the net, do a search and have some fun with them.  But I'd like to see one of this quality

For a guy who claims to be smarter than everyone else on this planet he sure says "I don't know" a lot.  And that three-word phrase is probably the truest words out of his mouth these past five and a half years.

I shake my head in sorrow every time  head the supporter explaining how they voted for him because of what a businessman he is. Not realizing he blew a billion dollars trying to get elected. You need to realize what the outcome of bankrupting is

I wouldn't vote for him because of his business acumen, but because he's not Biden ( or IMO more likely Harris ). I think I'm not the only one either.

You are confusing why 2016 voters were believing his potential to why anti Democratic sentiment exists in 2020

I'm sure a few feel that way , unfortunately 6 or 7 million more people will be voting for anybody  who is not Trump , a donkey would have done !

We'll see in a couple of weeks if Trump wins, or not.

PS he doesn't need the popular vote to win.

Donald's own campaign re-election lawyers support Biden over Donald with massive contributions. So Donald supporters send money to Donald's campaign. The campaign then uses this money to pay the lawyers which in turn gets donated to Biden's campaign. So Donald supporters are indirectly donating to Biden! Woohoo!

 

Lawyers spurn Trump campaign in individual donations, including from Jones Day

 

Quote

Lawyers at Jones Day, which has earned millions as outside counsel to U.S. President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, have donated nearly $90,000 to the campaign committee of Trump’s Democratic rival Joe Biden. Contributions to the Trump campaign by Jones Day lawyers totaled just $50, records show.

Lawyers at several other law firms representing Trump or his campaign also heavily favored Biden.

Man, you said the same thing about Hillary in 2016.  And you'd say the same about anyone else.  Just admit it, you're a Trump lover.

That is only for the "no research, believe anything you are told, even if it is coming from a pathological liar crowd". For the people who are more discriminating in what they believe, this is more like it:

 

17 of his businesses have failed in the past few decades. Some at huge losses. Trump Steaks, Trump Shuttle Airline ($120 million in losses between 1988 and 1990), GoTrump, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage, Trump University, Trump Ice, The New Jersey Generals, Tour de Trump, Trump Network, Trump Magazine, Trumped!. Many businesses that licensed his name went bankrupt, or went out of business. And he had between four and six major bankruptcies (depending on the source), including the Trump Taj Mahal (which he spent $1.2 billion building, and was $3 billion in debt within a year of opening), Trump's Castle, Trump Place Hotel (which was very successful prior to Trump buying it in 1988, and he managed to put it into $550 million in debt by 1992!), Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts ($1.8 billion in debt by 2004, bankrupt in 2009) , and Trump Entertainment Resorts. There are likely others.

 

And this does not take into account the 3,600 lawsuits he was involved in as of the time he took office, the vast majority of which were filed by small contractors against his companies for non payment, or total default. Many of these contractors were crushed. It is part of his M.O. 
 
Nearly anything with his name on it, and his association with it, fails. Nearly everything he does, fails.

Didn't like HRC, don't like Biden or Harris. Irrelevant whether I like Trump or not.

I'd have voted for Bernie first time though, were I able to do so.

Fair enough.  At least you provided a name.  But to say that you'd support an admitted socialist when you're now supporting Trump....well, not sure what to make of that.

I've never hidden that I'm a socialist ( small s ) on TVF, but IMO Biden/ Harris are not socialists. Biden is establishment to his core IMO. Bernie was/ is against the establishment, IMO, but not a true socialist, IN MY OPINION.

Soooo, it comes back to what I've said many, many times ( how could you have missed all those posts? ) I'd vote for Trump as long as HRC or Biden/ Harris were the only other viable choice as he is IMO the less worst candidate.

And yet you celebrate the appointment of extreme right wing judges to the Supreme Court? The most anti-worker court in a century? It is to laugh.

they would have plenty of money if they sell his b/s to the gardeners 

Yet, another way Donald's campaign stiffed their donors by using campaign funds to buy Hannity's book. Hannity wins! Donald wins! His donors get fleeced! It is amazing that anyone would donate to such a corrupt campaign!

 

RNC spent more than $492K in donor money to buy Sean Hannity’s ‘best-selling’ book

 

Quote

He books Trump, the Republican National Committee buys his book.

Sean Hannity has RNC donors to thank for help making his latest tome a top-seller, according to Salon. The committee reported $492,308 in “donor mementos” from book retailers spent on Sept. 16 alone to the Federal Elections Commission.

So, by applying a 15% author share, it means a journalist (well, in case one could call Hannity a journalist) has received $73,800 from a political party as a reward for supporting it.

Hmm......

I guess you mean books!

The mystery over whether Donald Trump Jr’s new book deserved its place at No 1 in the New York Times bestseller list has deepened after it emerged that the Republican National Committee (RNC) spent $94,800 (£74,000) on a bulk order of the book a week before it was released.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/22/republicans-bulk-bought-donald-trump-jr-triggered-book

The RNC is buying copies of the first son’s forthcoming “Liberal Privilege,” which it will offer to donors who contribute at least $75. The committee orchestrated a similar fundraising campaign last year around Trump’s previous book, “Triggered”
