Lol alternet.
Trumps fathers business was nowhere near the size it is before trump came on board, not even a tiny fraction of what trump has built. You're just slandering the enemy per par etc.
It was also a completely different business. Trump's dad built government-subsidized low-income housing, Trump builds luxury real estate properties.

Donald Trump's message of "Make America Great Again" is resonating with people from all walks of life, including democrats such as myself. His "tell it like it is" mentality is also refreshing. I like that he doesn't apologize for anything. We don't need another "apologizer-in-chief".

To renegotiate debt.
Mr. Trump has many investments. No businessman bats 1.000 and has no misses -- not even the greats. Over the course of a very long career, he has used the laws of the land four time to do what's best for his overall business, his family and himself. His massive net worth is evidence that he has succeeded.

You mean a "lifelong Democrat" who's had three stints as a Republican, has been a Republican for almost all of his life, and has also been an independent and a third-party (Reform Party) member?
"In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat," Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in a 2004 interview. "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats. ...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans."

Presumably these four investments were losing money and so he cut his loses. That's smart! AND it obviously worked because now he has a net worth of OVER 10 BILLION DOLLARS.

My all caps and exclamation marks are really just to drive home certain points. I feel it's important to emphasize that Mr. Trump is extremely wealthy, mostly to disrupt this false narrative that critics promote implying that he really isn't smart, successful or a great businessman.
The $10B figure is obviously only an estimate. Trump has investment interests in many extremely high-end real estate properties (whose FMV is difficult to measure precisely and constantly changes). But his camp say's his net worth is over $10B. Forbes and others have taken an educated guess and measured it at many billions, and when your net worth is measured in billions, arguing over the source the calculation misses the point pretty badly. :lol

Trump, nor anybody, will ever touch the MIC, aka "world police"
MIC is corporate welfare, redistribution upwards of taxpayers' $100Bs to the MIC. and the transfer causes national debt, taxpayers pay the interest, too.
MIC is absolutely untouchable, and is currently looking for more $100Bs, and will wil get them.
But Repugs refuse to finance VA, help the vets aka "ex world policemen", at the level the WH requests.
The MIC is basically institutionalized within Congress, so of course it's not going away.
Trump, on the other hand, is not taking donations from defense contractors and he is not running for a seat in Congress. He is running for President.
The Commander-in-chief has huge influence over how we deploy and station our military. Obama has done a poor job organizing forces in the middle-east to fight ISIS from the start, and has basically made it an American problem first when it shouldn't be. We should be supporting the fight against ISIS, but the countries in that region need to be making a much bigger investment in actually destroying ISIS.

Trump wanted this scrubbed from Internet, but it was preserved
Watch the Long-Lost ‘Donald Trump’s House of Wings’ Sketch
To that end, we have uncovered a bit of Donald Trump history that has been mysteriously scrubbed from television’s memory banks. In 2004, Trump appeared in a Saturday Night Live sketch entitled “Donald Trump’s House of Wings” in which he pitched a fictional Buffalo wing joint. The sketch was even listed on the package for an SNL DVD release, but the sketch itself was inexplicably missing from the disc. For whatever reason, somebody doesn’t want you to see this sketch.
We don’t think that’s fair to the public, so in the interest of a fully-informed electorate, we present the full “Donald Trump’s House of Wings” commercial parody, so they can draw their own conclusions. Does it reflect a deficiency of gravitas, or does it demonstrate wit and charm to rival Ronald Reagan? Does it portend drastic changes in the menu and decor at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? You be the judge:

Terrorist organizations in that region form for many reasons. They exist now and they existed before we invaded Iraq.

We have a stake in defending many countries and usually a self-interest interest in doing so. It's not our primary responsibility to do so. :lol
But really, we're side tracking here... there are plenty of countries in the middle-east that could and should be doing more to defeat ISIS. You can blame whoever you want -- it doesn't change that fact.

I'm not defending our global empire. We can't afford to be the world police and I don't think it's worth whatever we're actually getting in return for it.
Which countries? What do you want them all to do?
Well we could start with Saudi Arabia. That's not a country with a weak military. Why aren't they committing more military resources to the fight?
What about Turkey? They can't do more? We weren't even allowed to use their air bases to launch strikes against ISIS from until last week. How ridiculous...

Well considering one of ISIS’ stated goals is to capture the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, I would say ISIS is an enemy of Saudi Arabia and one they might have an interest in defeating. Unless of course you think they should wait till ISIS is at their front door, then take a bigger interest in fighting. Is that what you think? :lol
Same basic idea with Turkey… I guess they should just wait till maybe they cross the border into Turkey.
As long as you don't think about it, it makes perfect sense to just count on the USA to do everything. We broke it, we bought it.

The MIC is basically institutionalized within Congress, so of course it's not going away.
Trump, on the other hand, is not taking donations from defense contractors and he is not running for a seat in Congress. He is running for President.
The Commander-in-chief has huge influence over how we deploy and station our military. Obama has done a poor job organizing forces in the middle-east to fight ISIS from the start, and has basically made it an American problem first when it shouldn't be. We should be supporting the fight against ISIS, but the countries in that region need to be making a much bigger investment in actually destroying ISIS. He gave them the impression that America's "got this" like we always do and that they don't have to do anything. They're finally realizing that's not the case. Under Trump, they will know this from the start.
The majority of those countries are too busy fighting a proxy war against Iran. That's why they're not doing as much as they can against ISIS. However they won't have a choice once ISIS starts to attack them like what happened in Turkey.

Afghanistan was "right" target after 9/11, of course. Iraq was not a target, its oil was.
Afghanistan targeted to punish Taliban, AQ, and kill OBL was turned into failed occupation and war by the Repugs, not by Obama.
You can't have it both ways. You can't say it's the military's fault for Obama going all out in Afghanistan and failing and also pretend it's the right war 7 years after 9/11.

Obama MEANT that Repugs/BigOil attacking Iraq was the wrong target (as EVERYBODY knows) and the 9/11 attackers were in right target, IN 2001!!!, in Afghanistan. Obama got stuck with Repug shit in Afghanistan. AIN'T HIS FAULT that the Repug war in Afganistan was unwinnable.
Obama wanted to "win" the REPUG bullshit Afganistan war so he could bring the troops home. So he let the military try its "surge" bullshit AGAIN, and it FAILED again. What choices did he have, facing REPUGs' Afghanistan disaster?

G.O.P. Candidates Follow Trump to the Bottom on Immigration
Before Donald Trump, Republican presidential candidates could deflect tough questions on immigration with vague promises to secure the border and oppose all “amnesty” for illegal immigrants.
Not anymore. Mr. Trump has offered a plan to “take back our country” from what he calls the rapist-murderer-job stealers being exported from Mexico. He is full of ideas.
He would expel 11 million immigrants, and their families, and let only “the good ones” back in.
He would restrict legal immigration, and impose a national job-verification system so that everyone, citizens too, would need federal permission to work.
He would build a 2,000-mile border wall and force Mexicans to pay for it. He would replace the Constitution’s guarantee of citizenship by birth with citizenship by bloodline and pedigree, leaving it to politicians and bureaucrats to decide what to do with millions of stateless children. He would flood the country with immigration agents and — it almost goes without saying — dismantle the economy and shred America’s standing as an immigrant-welcoming nation.
You could say the front-running Mr. Trump has put his opponents in a bind. Or you could say he has given them a gift: the opportunity to be specific in return about what they would do to fix the immigration mess.
And to be forthright in rejecting his despicable proposals.
Because his plan is so naked — in its scapegoating of immigrants, its barely subtextual racism, its immense cruelty in seeking to reduce millions of people to poverty and hopelessness — it gives his opponents the chance for a very clear moral decision.
They can stand up for better values, and against the collective punishment of millions of innocent Americans-in-waiting.

Momentum Slipping Away in Iowa, Scott Walker Adopts a Trump-Like Stance
On a three-day tour of Iowa after declaring his candidacy for president last month, Scott Walker (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/13/us/elections/scott-walker.html?inline=nyt-per) wore the same rolled-sleeves uniform, told the same sports joke and answered questions with verbatim passages from his announcement speech, whether he was in Davenport, Cedar Rapids or Sioux City.
He was disciplined almost to the point of seeming robotic.
Since then, a bracingly unscripted candidate has upended the Republican race. And no one has suffered more in the Summer of Trump than Mr. Walker, the Wisconsin governor, who has sagged in the polls (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ia/iowa_republican_presidential_caucus-3194.html) from early Iowa front-runner to unimpressive single digits.
In a blunt self-critique, Mr. Walker acknowledged on a private conference call with donors (http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/08/18/scott-walker-to-increase-attacks-on-washington/) on Monday that voters had found him passionless. He announced a reset of his campaign, according to a participant in the call, in which he would take on the Republican establishment to show that, like Donald J. Trump, he, too, strongly opposed the status quo.
Mr. Walker offered as Exhibit A (http://www.washingtonpost.com/posttv/politics/scott-walker-to-protester-i-am-not-intimidated/2015/08/17/6af5b772-4503-11e5-9f53-d1e3ddfd0cda_video.html) an exchange he had had with a heckler just hours earlier at the Iowa State Fair: “I’m not intimidated by you, sir, or anyone else out there,” he had shouted, before turning to the crowd and saying:
“You want someone who’s tested? I’m right here.”
Mr. Walker’s team was so pleased with the tussle, which may wind up in a television ad, that a top campaign aide joked that he would have paid the heckler to show up.
“Where he’s really messed up with people like me,” said Phil Cavanaugh, a Republican chairman in Wapello County, who was once a Walker supporter, “is that he keeps bringing up his buddy-buddy relationship (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/06/us/politics/wisconsin-politics-and-faith-bind-scott-walker-and-paul-ryan.html) with establishment people like Paul Ryan.”
John Stineman, a Republican strategist in Des Moines who has worked on past presidential campaigns, said Mr. Walker’s decision to pursue voters who admire political outsiders like Mr. Trump and Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, could ultimately be more problematic than his recent decline in the polls.
“The dip isn’t the problem,” Mr. Stineman said. “It’s that he’s going to follow Trump into the rabbit hole. To try to emulate Trump is likely to be folly. So taking Trump-like positions on things doesn’t seem like a solid long-term bet.”

Racist Donald Trump Fans Allegedly Beat, Urinated on Sleeping Latino Homeless Man
One of the men remarked: 'Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.'
Two white Boston brothers Scott J. Leader, 38, and Steve M. Leader, 30, were arrested on numerous charges of assault, indecent exposure, and more after allegedly urinating on and then beating a sleeping 58-year-old Latino homeless man because he was Latino.
According to the charges, the Boston Globe reports (http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/08/19/homeless/iTagewS4bnvBKWxxPvFcAJ/story.html), the brothers allegedly urinated on the man, punched him, and then beat him with a metal pole, breaking his nose and bruising his head and torso. Witnesses say they saw the brothers hitting the man in the head with the pole. The homeless man, who remained unidentified, was subsequently hospitalized at Boston Medical Center.
State Police spokesman Dave Procopio recalled (http://boston.cbslocal.com/2015/08/19/homeless-man-beaten-urine-state-police-south-boston/) “Scott Leader made a statement referring to the victim as an ‘illegal immigrant’ and stated the reason he and his brother were arrested is that they were white and the victim was a minority.”
The brothers also spoke favorably of Donald Trump, according to the police, who recall Scott remarking "Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported." Police say he saw no problem attacking the man because he is Latino and homeless.

Krazy Kruz down the Trump rabbit out with Latino reachout
Ted Cruz Flip-Flopped On Birthright Citizenship
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Wednesday he welcomed Donald Trump's call (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/donald-trump-birthright-citizenship) to end birthright citizenship, which he described as "a view I have long held."
However, "long held" apparently only stretches back a few years because, as the Huffington Post points out, (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ted-cruz-birthright-citizenship_55d5f798e4b0ab468da01952?emf5hfr) Cruz in 2010 called ending birthright citizenship a "mistake."
"I've looked at the legal arguments against it, and I will tell you as a Supreme Court litigator, those arguments are not very good," Cruz, who was then gearing up for his 2012 Senate race, said in 2010 on "The Duke Machado Show."
"As much as someone may dislike the policy of birthright citizenship, it's in the U.S. Constitution. And I don't like it when federal judges set aside the Constitution because their policy preferences are different," Cruz said then.
While Trump says that the Constitution (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/bill-o-reilly-donald-trump-immigration)already could be read to not grant birthright citizenship, others in the GOP 2016 field are calling for a constitutional amendment to end the practice.
Cruz on Wednesday said he would “absolutely" support changing the policy.
"We should end granting automatic birthright citizenship to the children of those who are here illegally,” Cruz said in an interview (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/251502-cruz-absolutely-backs-ending-birthright-citizenship) on Michael Medved’s radio show. “That has been my position from the very first day of my running for the Senate.”
But in that 2010 interview, Cruz said, "I think it is a mistake for conservatives to be focusing on trying to fight what the Constitution says on birthright citizenship. I think we are far better off focusing on securing the border, because birthright citizenship wouldn't be an issue if we didn't have people coming in illegally."

Euro-White Supremacists on the 14th a long time
It’s Not Just Trump: GOP Has Plotted For Years To End Birthright Citizenship
Trump’s idea to end birthright citizenship didn’t come out of nowhere. For years, legal minds on the far right have been laying out a plan to stop granting citizenship to children born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents' legal status.
Their plan rests on the willingness of state or national lawmakers to push through a constitutionally-questionable law in the hopes that the conservative Supreme Court will take it as bait to scale back the 14th Amendment. Crazier things (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/supreme-court-guts-the-voting-rights-act) have happened (http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-205.pdf) in the John Roberts court.
“This notion that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone who has happened to be born on U.S. soil no matter how they’re here -- they're just wrong,” said Chapman University School of Law Dean John Eastman, who has led conservative legal fights on everything from gay marriage to reining in the Supreme Court. (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/ted-cruz-supreme-court-judicial-activism)
The House Judiciary Committee held (http://judiciary.house.gov/index.cfm/hearings?ID=E7872029-9B7E-4A62-A9E9-1C035179C7F4) hearings on the issue in the spring under the title: "Birthright Citizenship: Is It The Right Policy For America?" Eastman testified at the hearing in support of ending birthright citizenship and told TPM this week that criticisms that “Trump’s idea is silly because it would take a constitutional amendment -- that’s not true.”
Trump may have pushed he issue to the forefront of the GOP presidential primary, but even before he included the proposal on his immigration policy paper this week, the issue was simmering on the fringes. In May, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) wrote (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/05/06/an-immigration-policy-for-hard-working-americans/) in an op-ed that “only children born on American soil where at least one parent is a citizen or resident aliens is automatically a U.S. citizen.” Just last week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) was calling (http://thinkprogress.org/election/2015/08/12/3690791/chris-christie-birthright-citizenship/) for the 14th Amendment to be “re-examined.” Gov. John Kasich pushed for ending birthright citizenship while in Congress (https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/1191/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%221191%22%5D%7D) and said he supported (http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/insight/2010/09/26/division.html) changing the practice in 2010, before reversing his position this summer.
Republican presidential candidates who say they oppose ending birthright citizenship have been able to do so under the cover that it’s not worth the trouble of changing a Constitutional amendment.
“There are like 10 things I would change in the Constitution with a magic wand," Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said on the birthright question (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/08/17/jeb-bush-on-donald-trumps-immigration-ideas-a-plan-needs-to-be-grounded-in-reality/), before later backtracking (http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/18/politics/jeb-bush-constitution-magic-wand/) on the remark.
"I have to live with reality. Reality is it takes at best years, probably decades to deal with this 14th Amendment issue," former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) said. (http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2015/08/19/perry-questions-border-wall-plans-stresses-better-security)The 14th Amendment -- which includes an assortment of weighty rights like due process and equal protection -- says: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
But according to Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, :lol the architect of some of the country's harshest anti-immigration laws, the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” confers automatic citizenship only to some subset of children born on U.S. soil.
“There’s some people excluded, because that’s what the words ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ mean and the Supreme Court has never had an occasion [to examine] what that means, and to specifically look at the question of the children of illegal aliens,” Kobach told TPM. “Any justice who sought to come to the conclusion that the Constitution requires citizenship for the children of illegal aliens would have to explain what the words 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' mean, and that's a very difficult task for them to do.”
He suggested Congress propose a law limiting birthright citizenship to the children of citizens and permanent residents.
“For lack of a better word, the ‘open borders interests’ are probably going to challenge anything Congress passes in this regard and they will see if they can draw a good judge and probably hope that they don’t go to the U.S. Supreme Court,” Kobach said. If the issue did get to the Supreme Court, he said he was “confident” it would be upheld.
Bills proposing to end birthright citizenship have been introduced on a fairly regular basis since the 1990s. In just the last year, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) (http://www.nationaljournal.com/next-america/newsdesk/steve-king-birthright-citizenship-19691231) and Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) (http://www.vitter.senate.gov/newsroom/press/vitter-introduces-legislation-to-close-birthright-citizenship-loophole) have introduced legislation to limit birthright citizenship to only certain children depending on their parents. An earlier version of Vitter's bill was cosponsored by presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in 2011.
King acknowledged (http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/rep-steve-king-pass-legislation-puts-end-birthright-citizenship) that his proposal would likely be litigated, but that a “constitutionally sound” law would pass in the courts.
Past attempts to limit birthright citizenship through legislation have been widely called unconstitutional. (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/experts-gop-plan-to-change-citizenship-rights-is-clearly-unconstitutional)
In addition to the plain text of the Constitution, legal scholars point to the Supreme Court’s decision in 1898’s United State v Wong Kim Ark, which reaffirmed the right of citizenship for U.S.-born children regardless of their parents' legal status.
But birthright opponents say that the decision only applies to the children of permanent residents and the opinion's broader language regarding birthright citizenship is merely "dicta," as Eastman put it.
State lawmakers have proposed anti-immigrant legislation with the explicit purpose of getting the Supreme Court to chip away at the 14th Amendment, as was the case with a failed 2011 bill in Arizona. (http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/02/07/arizona.citizenship/)
So far conservative lawmakers haven't been able to advance the strategy, with some Republicansadmitting (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/tierneysneed%20[6:13%20PM]%20http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-08-18/trumps-immigration-birthright-citizenship-stance-echoes-texas-bills#.VdT_Z1NViko) the likelihood of success is not worth the legal costs.
However, for birthright critics, this is the wrong approach:
"We ought not anticipate an erroneous decision from the court on the front end,” Eastman said. Trump echoed that strategy, saying he wouldn't wait to pass a Constitutional amendment but would go straight to the courts to see if U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants are in fact citizens.
"I’d much rather find out whether or not anchor babies are actually citizens," Trump said Tuesday. "We're going to test it out."

Mexicans want to come to USA because they can't obtain a good life in MX. BigCorp destroyed 100Ks of subsistence MX farms by pushing for NAFTA, pushing Ms Mexicans toward the USA. The USA could help the federal and state govts in MX make a better life for poor Mexicans, but pervasive corruption could be an obstacle.

The Washington Post Debunks Conservative Media's "Anchor Baby" Myth
But usually the debate has been about the residency of the parents, who after all are supposed to be using the child as their "anchor."
This is the definition that has little legal underpinning. For illegal immigrant parents, being the parent of a U.S. citizen child almost never forms the core of a successful defense in an immigration court. In short, if the undocumented parent of a U.S.-born child is caught in the United States, he or she legally faces the very same risk of deportation as any other immigrant.
The only thing that a so-called anchor baby can do to assist either of their undocumented parents involves such a long game that it's not a practical immigration strategy, said Greg Chen, an immigration law expert and director of The American Immigration Lawyers Association, a trade group that also advocates for immigrant-friendly reforms.
That long game is this: If and when a U.S. citizen reaches the age of 21, he or she can then apply for a parent to obtain a visa and green card and eventually enter the United States legally.
[...]
If a person has lived in the United States unlawfully for a period of more than 180 days but less than one year, there is an automatic three-year bar on that person ever reentering the United States -- and that's before any wait time for a visa. So that's a minimum of 21 years for the child to mature, plus the three-year wait.
And, for the vast majority of these parents, a longer wait also applies. If a person has lived in the United States illegally for a year or more, there is a 10-year ban on that person reentering the United States. So, in that case, there would be the 21-year wait for the child to mature to adulthood, plus the 10-year wait.
All told, the parents of the so-called anchor baby face a 24-to-31-year wait to even enter the United States, much less obtain a visa and green card or become a citizen.

Republican Donald Trump is pulling away from the pack in the race for the party's U.S. presidential nomination, widening his lead over his closest rivals in the past week, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Friday.
Republican voters show no signs they are growing weary of the brash real estate mogul, who has dominated political headlines and the 17-strong Republican presidential field with his tough talk about immigration and insults directed at his political rivals. The candidates are vying to be nominated to represent their party in the November 2016 general election.
Nearly 32 percent of Republicans surveyed online said they backed Trump, up from 24 percent a week earlier, the opinion poll found. Trump had nearly double the support of his closest competitor, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who got 16 percent. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was third at 8 percent.
Even when Trump was pitted directly in the poll against just his top two competitors, 44 percent backed him. Bush won about 29 percent of respondents, and Carson 25 percent.

Most Republicans do not support his candidacy and seem unlikely ever to do so. Even now, more say they definitely would not vote for him than say they support him.
The breadth of Mr. Trump’s coalition is surprising at a time of religious, ideological and geographic divisions in the Republican Party. It suggests he has the potential to outdo the flash-in-the-pan candidacies that roiled the last few Republican nominating contests. And it hints at the problem facing his competitors and the growing pressure on them to confront him, as several, like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, are starting to do.
His support is not tethered to a single issue or sentiment: immigration, economic anxiety or an anti-establishment mood. Those factors may have created conditions for his candidacy to thrive, but his personality, celebrity and boldness, not merely his populism and policy stances, have let him take advantage of them.
Trumpism, the data and interviews suggest, is an attitude, not an ideology.

Prior to the event, the Trump campaign gave out numbers ranging from 30,000 attendees all the way up to 40,000. Here are some of the reports in that vein:
YAHOO NEWS (https://www.yahoo.com/politics/more-than-30000-expected-to-turn-out-for-donald-127250915821.html): “More than 30000 people are expected to turn out for Donald Trump's Mobile, Alabama” rally.
WASHINGTON EXAMINER (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-expecting-over-30000-people-at-alabama-event/article/2570564): “Trump expecting over 30,000 people at Alabama event”
CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/20/politics/donald-trump-alabama-event-moved/index.html): “As of Thursday morning, 35,000 tickets to the event have been distributed, according to the Trump Campaign.”
NEW YORK POST (http://nypost.com/2015/08/20/trump-rally-likely-to-be-biggest-primary-event-so-far/): “It’s going to end up at 30- to 40,000 people in Alabama,” the Post wrote, quoting Trump himself.
These are just a few of the headlines the Trump event was previewed with. Notice that they all had one thing in common – all of these reporters decided to base the crowd numbers on Trump’s claims. None of them decided to do any groundwork to figure out if the claims had any validity – which would involve, for example, surveying the community itself.
As it turned out, the rally ended up featuring around 20,000 people (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/thousands-attend-trump-rally-mobile-alabama/story?id=33240509) – around half the capacity of the 40,000-person stadium.
But this wasn’t the first time Trump exaggerated his own numbers.
After his first rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump claimed (http://freakoutnation.com/2015/07/donald-trump-claims-20000-attended-his-event-the-only-problem-is-he-was-off-16000/) “20,000” people attended his event there. The thing is, local media did their own tally, and figured closer to four to five thousand people showed up.
This is now a trend. Trump makes a wild claim about the number of people who will be attending or have attended one of his rallies, and the media republishes his claims without actually checking the veracity of the source.
Later, local media does its own count and finds that Trump exaggerated his numbers, in the case of Phoenix, by four to five times; in Mobile, by possibly 100 percent.

Trump On How He’ll Deport All 11 Million Undocumented Immigrants: ‘Don’t Worry About It’
STEPHANOPOULOS: So if there’s no idea, how are you going to round them all up?
Where are you going to get the money, where are you going to get the forces?
Exactly how are you going to do it?
What are the specifics here?
TRUMP: George, it’s called management. And the first thing we have to do is secure the border. But it’s called management. And we’ll get people back in, the really good ones, we’re going to expedite it so they get back in, so they can at least come in legally.
But we have to do it…
STEPHANOPOULOS: You keep declaring how you’re going to do it…
TRUMP: It’s management.
STEPHANOPOULOS: — but you don’t say…
TRUMP: We don’t…
STEPHANOPOULOS: — how.
TRUMP: Excuse me, George?
STEPHANOPOULOS: You declare how you’re going to to it, but you don’t say how.
TRUMP: George, I’m telling you, it’s called management. You can do this and we can expedite the good ones to come back in. And everybody wants that. But they have to come in legally.
An analysis by the Center For American Progress estimates deporting 11.3 million people would cost $10,070 per person, or $114 billion (https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/news/2015/08/18/119474/what-would-it-cost-to-deport-11-3-million-unauthorized-immigrants/). That only covers the “direct cost of physically deporting unauthorized immigrants.”
The conservative American Action Forum, considering the total cost to the economy, estimates mass deportation of all undocumented immigrants would cost between $420 billion and $620 billion and take 20 years (http://americanactionforum.org/research/the-budgetary-and-economic-costs-of-addressing-unauthorized-immigration-alt).
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/08/23/3694275/trump-on-how-hell-deport-all-11-million-undocumented-immigrants-dont-worry-about-it/
so "deport all 11M+ illegals" and "build a hermetic, seal-the-border wall" are just "don't worry about it"
(because we are only campaigning on these issues, we'll never do anything about them)

Real Estate Moguls of the World Unite!
Trump bags first mega campaign contribution (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/trump-bags-first-mega-campaign-contribution-from-disgraced-ex-con) from disgraced ex-con real estate mogul behind one of the New Jersey/New York's most notorious recent scandals.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/real-estate-moguls-of-the-world-unite?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+tpm-news+%28TPMNews%29
================
Independent Trump Bags First Mega Donation from Disgraced Ex-Con Real Estate Mogul
One of the larger donations that the super PAC has received so far has come from Charles and Seryl Kushner, the in-laws to Trump’s daughter Ivanka and the parents of her husband, New York Observer owner Jared Kushner. The Kushners gave $100,000 to the Make America Great Again super PAC in July.On Sunday, they took that support one step further by hosting Trump for a meet-and-greet on the candidate’s behalf (http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/08/23/donald-trump-pays-a-visit-to-his-not-so-poor-relations/)at their seaside home on the New Jersey shore.
While we probably can’t blame Donald Trump for attending a political event hosted by his daughter’s parents-in-law or accepting an unsolicited donation from the same, the name Charles Kushner might ring a bell. And not for a good reason.
More than a decade ago, Kushner, who like Trump is a real estate developer, was one of the biggest behind-the-scenes players in New Jersey’s real estate-obsessed political establishment. In the early 2000s, through his relatives and companies, Charles Kushner could be personally linked to almost 5% of the donations collected by then-N.J. Gov. James McGreevey’s 1997 and 2001 gubernatorial campaigns. He was also the largest single donor to Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Robert Torricelli.
In return, McGreevey had rewarded Kushner with a nomination to chair the board of directors of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the powerful bi-state transportation and real estate infrastructure agency now at the center of the Bridgegate scandal. Kushner was on track to become the agency’s chairman (a job later held by David Samson) when his candidacy was derailed by intra-family lawsuits alleging that Charles had made many of those Kushner-tied donations by improperly using business funds without the permission of his partners – who just happened to be his relatives, including his brother Murray. Murray filed suit against Charles in state court over the matter, but the suit was under seal and off-limits to the New Jersey lawmakers who vetted and eventually backed Charles’s Port Authority appointment.
But before it could be finalized, the Kushners’ top accountant filed a whistleblower suit in federal court alleging that Charles had fired him after learning that he had provided evidence of the campaign donations to Murray. Moreover, the suit’s allegations went well beyond mere donations; the accountant charged that Charles had used his family’s company money to do things like buy out an insurance firm briefly owned by Gov. McGreevey’s chief of staff, the sale of which earned that official more than $350,000.
Charles’s Port Authority nomination was dead by early 2003 and in June 2004, Kushner agreed to pay a $508,900 fine to the Federal Election Commission (one of the largest in its history) to settle claims about those political donations. At the time, the FEC claimed that it had stumbled on Kushner’s money by way of an audit of former N.J. Sen Bill Bradley’s 2000 presidential campaign financials.
But that explanation didn’t hold up for long.
Just weeks later in July 2004, Charles Kushner was indicted by then-U.S. Attorney Chris Christie on charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and interstate promotion of prostitution (!) for trying to derail a federal investigation Christie’s office had opened into Kushner’s political operations during the prior year.
It turned out that Charles was concerned about his sister’s cooperation with Christie’s grand jury and decided to blackmail her into silence by hiring a prostitute to seduce her husband. In a Bridgewater, N.J. motel (https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x89c3bfe970d4d15f:0xb85475c1b77b4126!2m5!2m 2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i100!3m1!7e1!4shttps://ssl.panoramio.com/photo/79795406!5sred+bull+inn+bridgewater+nj+-+Google+Search&sa=X&ved=0CJcBEKIqMApqFQoTCMvSscvkwMcCFQoZPgodaMgCxw) room of the Red Bull Inn (not kidding) equipped with a hidden video camera Charles secretly recorded his brother-in-law in flagrante. Charles then sent the tape to his sister, threatening to make it public unless she stopped cooperating with the feds.
Now I know some of you are saying, “why didn’t I think of that?” But let me stop you right now – this plan did not work out for Charles.
The sister talked. Her husband talked. The prostitute talked. Game over.
Charles pled guilty to the charges in August 2004, a week after Gov. McGreevey resigned and publicly came out as gay by way of admitting to a homosexual affair with a member of his staff: an Israeli citizen whose American work visa had been sponsored by none other than Charles Kushner.
(People I knew in New Jersey politics during that time – including some in the governor’s office – were convinced Christie was sitting on their phones.)
Although he was sentenced to two years in federal prison, Charles Kushner won admission to an addiction treatment program that shortened his sentence. Prosecutors launched an investigation into whether Kushner was fibbing about being an addict in order to win a chance at being transferred from a federal prison in Alabama to a halfway house in Newark, N.J.
Ultimately, however, they backed his transfer and a sentence reduction upon his completion of a 500-hour-long rehabilitation program. Kushner was released from federal custody in August 2006, just fourteen months into his sentence.
Looking back, it’s hard to overstate just how central Charles Kushner was to the unraveling of Jim McGreevey’s governorship and to New Jersey Democrats’ loss of the state’s governor’s mansion to a U.S. Attorney eager to be seen as the top cop going after political corruption in the state.
It’s now ironic, of course, that Charles Kushner is back in the game supporting the GOP candidate who is nudging Christie out of the race. But family or not, it remains to be seen if even the likes of Donald Trump can afford to carry the baggage that comes with this guy (http://nypost.com/2004/07/15/sex-gal-now-helping-feds-hooker-turns-on-kushner/).

Interpreting what he says requires some assumptions and you have to read what he said carefully. He first said the real unemployment rate is 21% (probably based on unemployment rate + projected amount people who have exited the work force). Then, he said 42% based on a chart he saw that was likely calculating the total number of people that could work (even if they didn't necessarily ever want to). In a great economy, maybe at least some of those people want to work.
When he makes America great again, those people who could work but don't want to now, may consider it.

Don’t forget in the meantime we have a real unemployment rate that’s probably 21%. It’s not 6. I’s not 5.2 and 5.5. Our real unemployment rate–in fact, I saw a chart the other day, our real unemployment–because you have ninety million people that aren’t working. Ninety-three million to be exact.

Or maybe I'll jut take Trump at his actual words and not your attempt to spin them.
What you said was just your spin.
What are his "actual words" to you?
What you said was just your spin -- not a serious attempt to understand context and the clear differentiating reference to a "chart" that states "ninety million people that aren’t working".

Don’t forget in the meantime we have a real unemployment rate that’s probably 21%. It’s not 6. I’s not 5.2 and 5.5. Our real unemployment rate–in fact, I saw a chart the other day, our real unemployment–because you have ninety million people that aren’t working. Ninety-three million to be exact.
If you start adding it up, our real unemployment rate is 42%.

But I can just use your words too:
Ok, so I read the Time magazine article where he said the real unemployment rate is 21%... and then in the same breath, he said actual real unemployment rate was 42%.Which is exactly what I said, but somehow your own words are no longer valid here either.
But I can just use your words too:
You didn't use all of them -- maybe that's why you're not understanding.

^ that sounds like spin to me.

Not sure where that came from but that's ok.
So again, this is all just for show. He knows exactly what he's doing. :hat
I read what he said carefully.
He said our real unemployment rate is 21%, then he said our real unemployment rate is 42%.
Which is it?
It can't be both.
Still didn't use them all -- that seems to be a continuing issue here.

Your not admitting it is spin is a continuing issue here.
