Trump's family are very successful and intelligent. Why would he not want to harnace their expertise?

 

Ulysses; "Trump's family are very successful and intelligent."  

How intelligent does a person (Ivanna) rate, who is given millions of dollars and a desk job choosing what color curtains to hang in hotel rooms?

How intelligent are his sons, by shooting dead farmed/fenced leopards in southern Africa?  Or shooting the largest vegetarian land animal and cutting off its tail in an act of bravado?

 

I saw a letter written by a Namibian to a newspaper there - where the writer was grossed-out and offended by the carnage Trump's sons inflicted in southern Africa.  Trumpsters aren't expected to grasp it, but it really tarnishes the Trump family image (and rich Americans in general).  What's next for the Trump boys?  ....going to Nepal and paying big money to shoot the last remaining one-horned rhinos?

I also build things:  several houses and more.  The difference between me and Trump is; I pay all my workers - what we agreed upon.  Trump doesn't honor agreements or contracts. 

 

Trump did restorations to what he called "the largest casino in the world" (Taj Majal, Atlantic City, NJ).  Then, when he saw it wasn't making money, he split town like a thief in the night, leaving investors with pennies on the dollar.   Then he boasted about it for the following years.

On the evening of the inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, 2009, some fifteen leaders of the Republican Party, gathered in secret in a Congress hall, passed a pact: they would oppose all projects and decisions of the new President, without exception. For eight years the conspiracy has kept its word.

This hate on Obama  defines Trumpism - on one side of the coin.

The other side is the blind adoration and faith  for Trump and everything  under this name.

Yup Trump surrounding himself a 35 year old who have grew up with a silver spoon in the mouth. Nice way to be senior advisor to the president.

Thought he mainly rents out his name to put on buildings other people build.

White House win provides a stimulus for the Trump brand

"The Trump brand is worth more since his election than ever before, adding to his portfolio and raising questions about conflicts of interest. His adult sons have been traveling the world since the November election drumming up business for the brand their father spent decades building,"

I see that some people still can't stick to a topic.   Continued off-topic deflection will result in suspensions.   Enough with the trolling.   If you can't read and comprehend the entire OP, then please try at least read the headline.  

 

You have been warned.

Obama brought the US back from the brink of bankruptcy.  Created millions of jobs, oversaw one of the strongest bull markets in history, and the US is rocking now.  Hardly damaged the US.

Rocking? Have never been so deep in debts lol.

What does debt level have to do with the economy being strong?  The stock market is doing great, unemployment is way down from when Obama took office, and overall, people are doing quite well.  The debt level for the US isn't nearly as bad as it is for other countries.  And since the US is a large economy, they have the ability to pay it down.  Other countries don't have that ability.

[Ulysses G.]

It is basic economics. High debt burdens negatively affect economic growth. Trump's economic policies might reverse this. Business optimism has gone up since he was elected.

Agreed!  But doesn't negate the fact many aspects of the US/economy are doing fairly well now.  Especially compared to the rest of the world.

Maybe Trump wants to run it like a family, as mafia often referred to as family. Then there was the Manson family.... so many family models to choose from.

 

Baseless Nonsense - juvenile comparisons

The unemployment figures in the U.S. are a fabricated mess.  This reporting technique has been in effect since at least Bush Sr.  perhaps came in under Clinton.  The false reporting methods are to protect the Administration in power ... The actual unemployment rate is at least 3 times higher and black unemployment is nearing 30 percent.  For once Obama did not invent a smoke screen but he utilizes it very well.   In the U.S. today there are fully 93 million people not in the job market - and of that figure about 20 to 25 million Americans would like to have a job... but fiddle with the numbers and sell propaganda...

Sorry -- I was pages back and did not see any warning...

Old worn out allegations which did not keep Trump from being elected President.   And your repeating these old worn out allegations will not keep Trump from taking office on Jan 20.   Hash - ReHash and Hash again.  Is that all you got?

There are many different unemployment figures.  Hardly false reporting.  Pick which one you like.  You'll need to provide a credible link that shows 93 million are unemployed.  The US only has some 330 million in total. That number includes people retired, housewives, children, teens, etc.

So now they should be forgotten and never mentioned or remembered in the future?

 

This topic is not about allegations against trump being 'worn out'.  In fact it's all a timely reminder.  If trump expects to pull the same shady tricks as president as he did as the top dog in his appalling family business dealings, he can expect to come unstuck pretty quickly, both internationally and (one would at least hope) domestically. 

I'm not sure why Obama even extends him the courtesies that he has.

Granted, it may get tiring  hearing about Trump's transgressions, but that doesn't make them any less true.  If someone raped your daughter, you may still mention it months/years later.  Just because it's been said, doesn't make it less valid.
