He's estimated to be worth about $3bn. Isn't that enough?

How can he? He's incompetent, a buffoon, and stupid.
He's also more corrupt than the average senator, and in a position to make use of it.
He is? What's the incident of corruption? Did he maintain a "charitable foundation" which he used to obtain funds from foreign governments who were trying to buy influence in his administration? Did he work with party insiders to unfairly torpedo the campaigns of his republican rivals while the party declared itself to be neutral? Did have insiders funnel him "Town Hall" questions in advance?

Indeed. Oddly, if someone suggests that policy here in the US, it's racist. Here, illegals are supposed to be afforded jobs, welfare, free food, and scholarships to the State funded university of their choice.

It's nice to see you repeating lies like the above after they've been soundly refuted. I appreciate it when you remind members of this site of your lack of integrity.

How misplaced and idiotic does this thread appear now? :lol:

As far as I'm concerned, no more so than when the OP was posted. Trump showed what a vile gormless shit he was long before he ran for office, and his candidacy reinforced that in spades.

A lot of people thought that when he actually became President, the nature of the role would force him to pull his head in. I thought it might, at least a little...

But nope, he is as undisciplined, unprincipled, motor-mouthed and egotistic as ever...

Too be honest, I'd no faith in him myself. I think the OP smacks of desperation. It sounds like the bargaining stage to me.

I think he's at acceptance now because he doesn't come near the Trump thread to defend this shitbag any more. Preferring to go for low hanging fruit like what the kids are at now like a creepy old guy hanging around a frat party.

Yeah, he's conspicuous in his absence in most of the Trump threads. He'd have to admit that he royally fucked up. Something he is incapable of doing.
