Trump has around ten billion dollars. It would really be pretty smart to listen to Trump who is engaged in big biz all over the world instead of listening to your bar stool buddies.

Cheers.

same same

It is Trump who claims to be worth 10 billion dollars. There is no transparency as to the amount of Trump's wealth. He refuses to release any tax returns that could justify his worth.

But $3 billion of his wealth is in his personal valuation of his name "Trump" as a tradename and trademark.

Forbes says $4.5 billion in overall wealth. In response Trump said, “I’m running for President ... I’m worth much more than you have me down [for]. I don’t look good, to be honest. I mean, I look better if I’m worth $10 billion than if I’m worth $4 billion.”

Interesting Forbes video of Trump's wealth claims:

HAHA..

how true. No sympathy for HRC.

She don't need to be swept away, just needs to grab her broom and fly away.

Trump is gonna get all the rope he needs from now through the R convention right on through to the general election in November.

(See below.)

Don't be sucked in to more Obama/Hillary years...

She is a sly one...and oh...so "presidential"...

The most common attack against HRC btw is the ad hominem one. Its use (and frequency of use) self-identifies the fringe extreme whingers who form the Trump hard core.

The ad hominem attackers also don't like her policies either. It's just that the wingers detest the person who is almost guaranteed to beat 'em again in an election of Potus, i.e., a second one! A second Clinton!! And, in effect, a third Obama!!! That's 12 years of Bill, 12 years of Barack and 4 years of Hillary -- all wrapped up into one term in the WH, i.e., the next one beginning next year. That's 28 years of 'em since 1992. My God they hate her biggrin.png

The extreme whingenuts out on the lunar right rocket right out of their orbit when they look at all of it.

That's what Trump says he's worth. The consensus is that it's more like 4.5 billion.

For any people to prosper, they must continually produce "New Wealth." We've all heard the saying that a bunch of guys can't stand in a circle with their hands in each others' pockets and all get rich. They have to bring in New Wealth to improve their collective lot.

New Wealth can be produced by manufacturing, and at many stages. It's produced when iron ore is mined from the ground. It's increased when the ore is processed into steel. It's increased when that steel is shaped into raw materials that people will buy. It's increased when that new steel is made into a new car or refrigerator.

All along the line many people get part of that New Wealth. The truckers that haul it and the people that made those trucks. The people who build the manufacturing plants. The people who work at the utility companies and the advertisers who sell. The workers on the assembly lines and the sales people and the mechanics who keep it all running...

THIS is a sustainable economy but we've sent too much of it to China and Mexico and they've made the New Wealth from it. It has to stop if America is going to prosper again.

Cheers.

Trump will be the next president of the US by a landslide.

Given how successful the .01 percent has been in gutting labor unions, it's extremely dubious that blue collars workers are going to share much in the benefits of increased manufacturing. And given how the Republicans have put a pro-business anti labor Supreme court in place, only makes it worse. In fact, most of the value of increases in productivity since the 90's have gone to the wealthy. Since they have a much lower marginal propensity to spend, and there's so much liquidity sloshing around, making the rich richer isn't going to help what left of the middle class and blue collar workers.

What will be of immediate help to them is an increase in the minimum wage. And as in issue in the coming election it will be wildly popular among Trump voters. And you know who's opposed to raising the minimum wage? Donald Trump. And you know who's in favor? Hillary Clinton.

So Paul Manafort is sort of Trump's Robert Amsterdam. Same same but different paycheck.

Unless my memory fails me, he was (is?) linked with with James Baker and the Bush family.

Was Manafort consulting the latest Bush campaign before hooking up with Trump?

Manifort is too clever to work in another Bush campaign but more than dumb enough to think he can elect Donald Trump. Manifort knows The Donald from Donald's early wheeling and dealing in setting up Atlantic City casinos.

Manifort got big bucks from Putin to elect Vlad's guy Yushchenko in Ukraine and to get Sen John McCain to bail him out of criticism he worked against the US national interest in helping squash the Orange Revolution.

Between Manifort and Trump Putin would get Alaska back -- probably some bonus real estate and resources south of it too. (Oops, got to be careful not to get ahead here of the D party's attack dossiers during the current Trump pre-nomination time whistling.gif)

So yes, James Baker is Manifort's reference point, mentor, and both of 'em stayed away from another Bush. Now it's even worse.

For all of 'em.

California is teeming with illegal immigrants. It's overwhelming their police and welfare systems. Liberal government has encouraged it but the people are sick of it. 31,000 people came out to an energetic Trump rally in S. California last night.

Look for a Trump sweep in California. Look for a Trump sweep in Indiana next week - a state he was expected to lose just a month ago.

ABC says Trump has 996 delegates in his pocket. It takes 1237 to have the majority for the nomination. There are almost 600 delegates left to win with Trump needing only about 241 of those. That's somewhere around 35 - 40% depending on whose numbers you use. He's been winning far more than 50 and even 60%.

Trump keeps getting stronger in the polls and with the voters. Never underestimate this extremely energetic and experienced man. Everyone who's underestimated him so far or even written him off has egg on his face.

Trump will be the next President of The United States.

"China is the biggest holder of US debt owning $1.3 trillion of US treasuries. China is America's biggest creditor. "

So in theory, if China wanted to cripple the US all they had to do was to make it go bankrupt .....

yeah, sure, you go and rough them up Mr. Trump....

Then they'd have no one to sell their shit products to.

Several Potus have put America first by letting CCP play with their monopoly game currency. CCP have over time had to appreciate their currency toy but that's not been a big deal to 'em (until recently).

CCP have put their PRC first by buying US Treasuries and other corporate bonds in the USA. It gives 'em cash to control their currency. With CCP keeping the yuan/rmb off the market and off a free float, CCP can have their fun and games.

US has put America first by importing a lot from CCP so CCP could put people to work beneficial to the USA, and also to buy USD to fatten its forex reserve and say to other countries CCP are rich and powerful cause they have big USD bucks.

It is a mutuality which is what interdependent international relations are about. There are a proliferation of mutualities omitted here. That is, globalisation.

Fortunately for the USA and for everyone else everywhere else, there is no mutuality between the wild radical Donald Trump and the vast mainstream of the moderate and balanced American electorate that has already made clear they reject Trump decisively.

Publicus, stay away away from this "Replying to 'America First' - Trump outlines his foreign policy plans" thread/issue/topic.

YOU have constantly put up anti-China posts AND also anti-Trump posts. We all know that Trump will hurt China more than Hillary will. We all know that Hillary will continue the policy that America has had for a quarter of a century. A policy of stacking Walmart's shelves with cheap Chinese goods.

Three presidents have done this policy, they are Bill Clinton (Hillary's husband), George Bush, and Barack Obama. And Hillary will continue the same policy. In my opinion, this benefits America. But I still want to see a debate between pro-Trumpers and anti-Trumpers regarding American foreign policy. Stop confusing people by blasting China AND also blasting Trump.

We need a debate where we know what is what, without you confusing the situation.

The main beneficiary of that policy has been US Corporations. Who pocket the lower cost manufacturing in increased gross margin ... which they then try to avoid paying taxes on. Is the quality of life for the US consumer better because the have a cheaper iPhone are a few extra t-shirts they bought at Walmart. Very debatable point.

What good do cheaper goods do if people don't have jobs? The US was very prosperous BEFORE free trade agreements. Simple. What's the saying about stupidity being doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results?

The rich and powerful have scammed a lot of people.

Donald Trump will be the next President of The United States. Not because of anyone but Trump. Trump has run an innovative campaign to say the least and all of his detractors have egg on their faces for predicting failure.

Trump's a leader and an executive - just what the USA needs right now. It's been without a rudder for a long time. Trump's huge accomplishments are a good predictor and indicator of what he's capable of.

Stand by for President Trump.

Those who are part and whole of the slow motion coup de etat that is America these past years are outed by Trump's rhetoric. Threatened that the covers are being pulled off America's eyes, [they] increasingly reveal their true colors in violent speech and now physical violence (News: 29 Apr 16). The same pool of debased ideology that fuels brown shirts, nazis, mao marchers and others of the same ilk, is the same inferior human pool/thinking that is destroying America; this is what Trump speaks to. Trump opposes these forces within, and in his foreign policy opposes the same forces externally. A place where the two come together is immigration. Today, Trump supporters were beaten and bloodied by gangs where many were flying Mexican flags.

This does not lend credence that Trump is wrong or way off course. It is self evidence that Trump is right on! If ever there was a message that Americans needed to listen to, its events today. Forget about all the political spin as to what is what, look at what is actually happening. The left will always resort to violence. The left will always resort to violence. Trump's comments on domestic or foreign policy do not necessitate violence. There is violence because the gig is up. If Trump wins, the coup ends!

IMO many have a poor understand of the benefits of outsourcing for tier 1 economies. In the US context people may like to read the content at the URLs below.

I use to work in corporate and government sales for IBM, it was made clear that unless some aspects of IBM operations were not outsourced, in the longer term it would have a detrimental impact on IBM staffing levels worldwide – i.e. become uncompetitive..

Manafort.

No doubt interests groups, future promises and unsavory dealings are afoot. This is pretty much so on every campaign trail. Not as if HRC's candidacy and campaign aren't same same but different. Guess even more garbage will be brought to light through the mutually assured mud slinging. Wonder who's HRC's fixer and how is he/she matched vs. Manafort. In some ways, more interesting than the candidates themselves.
