Trump did not get where he is today by letting people play him.
He is usually a few steps ahead of them.
When you are good at making a deal you can make the other person think they are getting a good deal.
Sort of like the budget extention. Both the democrats and the republicans thought they had made a good deal.

 

It's an overly specific denial, at that, which is always suspicious. When they say, as has been claimed, that he didn't "reveal classified info about ISIS to Russians", it rings all alarm bells. Maybe he revealed classified info about something else to Russia then? Maybe he revealed classified info on ISIS to someone else? Maybe he revealed info, but it wasn't classified? If they were confident in their man, they would've just flat out denied him leaking anything. This way, though, it's cover-your-ass time.

 

He's horrible at making deals, though. His businesses have failed miserably, up to a point when he needs to sell cheap steak and wine. He's a con artist, and a bad one at that. Sadly, that's all it takes for desperate Americans.

 

What would you estimate his worth as?
He is the first person I know that paid for his run for president and is the first one I know of that would not take a salary for being president.

 

His personal fortune? Assets minus loans? I'd say it's not much more than what he started out with when he got money from his dad.

He didn't, though.

 

Bottom line, Trump doesn't owe any political favors to those that gave him campaign donations, all Trump needs to do...keep his voting base.

Trumps salary is donated...LEGALLY.

 

I didn't say it wasn't. I just said his campaign isn't self-funded.

 

93% of his campaign was self funded, stop making a mountain out of an ant hill.

 

Actually as is always the case the Trump administration and the White House have three different stories all at once. But you sure nailed it on the overly specific denial.

Here's the latest:

“At no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed.’

But what Trump actually revealed to the Russians is so sensitive we haven't even shared it with our other allies. Which is the danger of lap top bombs and the ISIS strong hold that is working on them. Which potentially can lead to exposure of the spy another country (probably Israel) has inside that city in Syria.

Which is exactly why American banks cut Trump off and would not lend to him anymore so he turned to Russian banks under the control of Putin. And that will be part of the expanding Trump/Russian investigation.

Excellent.

Take note that PR hack will try to lie to you every time. Such as Trump funded 93% of his campaign when actually of the $322 million spent on the campaign, only $66 million was his own, and Trump -related business industries - those bearing his own name, including his private jet and the Manhattan building that served as his campaign headquarters - received $11 million in payments from his campaign.

 

Promoting more lies I see.

The FEC report shows Trump received about $2.6 million from individual donors,almost all of it from small donors.I'll accept the $66 million of his own money spent...

Therefore the RNC collected and spent the rest.

Trump owes no one other than his voting base.

 

Nobody cares if Trump owes anyone anything from the campaign. What worries people much more is that he owes Russia a lot from dealings BEFORE the campaign, AS WELL as due to any kompromat they may have on him. Right now, it's becoming abundantly clear that he's a puppet for Russian interests, and he's doing what they tell him to.

 

Something like this;

FLASHBACK--Obama Whispers Message for Putin in 2012: 'After My Election, I'll Have More Flexibility'

 

Well, if your point is that America has been at Russia's command for much longer than the last election, then I'm not sure how that's supposed to be reassuring.

 

I see the orange thing bowed to the head Saudi; although many of trumpters are saying it wasn't really a bow. The only other explanation is that it was a poorly executed curtsy.

 

No. my point is that there isn't an ounce of evidence that the Trump Administration is colluding with the Russian Government over much of anything.

Now, as for the corrupt Obama Administration, there is a host of evidence that the Obama Administration was selling out the U.S..

I know the nonsense from the left and the media will never stop, as long as Trump is in office, but you dont need to be locked step with what they are trying to translate to the people.

Even Vladimir himself said that the democrats and the media are the real problem in the U.S.

 

Like I said before PR hacks will always try to lie. I quoted FEC reports.

 

Putin hated President Obama. Especially after his administration slapped multiple sanctions on Russia and Russian businesses.

Its always been Trump praising Putin. It was Mike Flynn discussing sanctions with the Russian Ambassador. It was Trump's son-in-law who met with an official of a Russian bank under US sanctions And It was Trump who invited the Russian Ambassador and Prime Minister into the Oval Office where he bragged about firing the FBI director to take the pressure off the Russian investigations and revealed classified information to them.

 

Those sanctions were weak, just like Obama, Obama was going through the motions, certainly didn't stop Obama and Clinton from selling Russia a Uranium Mine.

 

So did I.

 

Trump leaking classified information to the Russians that is so sensitive it was not even shared with many of our allies has now been confirmed by multiple souses. Also confirmed is that classified information came from Israel. And while Trump is in Israel there was a meeting between members of Israel's intelligence officers and members of US intelligence where the Israelis yelled at the US representatives over the leak because one of their most important intelligence assets in Syria has now been compromised.
