    Sorry, you said the letter was 'SIGNED' by somebody in the mail room. Wrong. No one can copy that signature. If you meant 'rubber stamped' you should have said so and I would have gone along with you. Communications is perhaps the biggest problem in the human race.

    If it generates ratings and money, then any news organization regardless of political persuasion will run the the story.

    Obviously not. Human interest stories only involve poor mistreated teens these days.

    Trump has not given up his billionaire anything. He will profit from his time in the WH. I don't blame him for that, but it is silly for anyone to think he has made a sacrifice here. Also, Trump has been more than willing to engage in the humiliation, ridicule and slander of other politicians, so cry me a river. We don't owe the man a national safe space just because he is thin skinned.

    The Frontline documentary on Trump and on Hillary are my main source of info on them both.

    Points in Trump's life to bear in mind:

    1 - Trump's dad felt Donnie was undisciplined so they put him into NY Military Academy.

    2 - Trump scored big on his first NYC real estate development.

    3 - Trump struck out on all his other real estate deals and attempts at business.

    4 - Trump recently had to pay off his former students in Trump Academy as the result of a class action suit.

    5 - Trump is viewed as fairly inept personally.

    Like Reagan, it was Trump's TV show that got him elected. If you want to become POTUS then get your own TV show first. Then every other idiot will vote for you.

    And as Mark Twain said, when you've got every other idiot on your side that is a majority everywhere.

    Most of that is claptrap but can you explain just how and when Trump "gave up his billionaire lifestyle" ?

    That bit of crap had me laughing out loud....:)

    I don't hate Trump.

    But you have to call a spade a spade.

    Trump is inept.

    Referring to the slaughtered school children as "poor mistreated teens" is just so "Trump" .....

    Why couldn't you answer my questions?

    What IS Trump going to do?

    Bump off someone else from the waiting list so he (Trump) can look good???


    Uh, "thoughts and prayers" do NOTHING.

    I think this is more accurate given the indications that he was scamming charities

    LOL, yeah right, Trump had everything money could buy, he wanted more power, the man is a natural born bully

    I doubt we will ever know about all the bad things Trump has done due to all the NDA's he has made people sign

    when a American runs for President, all NDA's should be null and void and all Americans should be able to talk about their President.. good or bad

    I'm sure that its a very safe bet that this pledge was never honored. That is Trump's history.

    I told my wife the day Trump rode the esculator, that we would never see his tax returns.

    At the time, I thought it was because he is not worth nearly as much as he claims to be. I still think that. In fact, I doubt that he's worth even 1 billion.

    Of course, various Russians have their fingers in nearly all of his business dealings. That's the real reason, IMO.

    And we're going to find out about all of that too.

    His fake charities and unhonored pledges of gifts and contributions are part of the story of the Trump fraud, but only a part.

    For a guy who you say is inept, he seems to have a lot done. Has this economy humming on all eight,( Don't try and feed me he is riding on Obama's coat tails, we know what kind of jobs Obama created.) Has ISIS on the ropes. Has N. Korea willing to discuss giving up his nuclear weapons. Cut illegal immigration over 50%. Sewing these states that are harboring illegal fugitives. Deported or locked up hundreds of gang members. Made a record number of Constitutional judges. Has Black and Hispanic unemployment down to a record low. Etc, etc.

    Just got S. Korea to double the amount of cars entering S. Korea and put a limit on the amount of steel they can sell us.

    Like I said, if it generates ratings and money, the media will cover it. It's been that way for years and isn't likely to change as long as the media is a for-profit business.

    He thrives on attention, whether the media or the adulation of his core supporters. If the media really wanted to hurt him and deflate his Goodyear Blimp ego, all they have to do is give him no coverage whatsoever. Can you imagine what his tweets would be??
