Chutzpah? I think so.


CHUTZPAH?

In India, conducting family business, Donald Trump Jr. said that any talk of his family profiting from his father's presidency is “nonsense." He is totally oblivious to the fact that ethical concerns about using the name of the American president to promote international business ventures are rampant.

Junior is in India specifically to meet promoters and buyers of Trump-brand luxury homes in the country. He says his family is actually missing out on business opportunities because his father pledged to conduct no new foreign business while he was in office. Even though proof exists that this is a lie, h persists in relaying the falsehood. 

Junior says people forget about "the opportunity cost of the deals that we were not able to do.” Asked, “Like what? He had no comment.

"It's sort of a shame. Because we put on all these impositions on ourselves and essentially got no credit for actually doing that ... for doing the right thing," he added.

For at least a week before he even arrived in India, major Indian newspapers carried glossy, front-page advertisements with the statement, "Trump has arrived. Have you?”

Ads prominently promised that buyers who order apartments in a new Trump-brand luxury real estate development in a suburb of the Indian capital by Thursday will get "a conversation and dinner" with Trump Jr. a day later. Why would anyone want to meet with Junior? Access.

He will be visiting and promote Trump-business in all the Trump-brand projects across four Indian cities. Only news organizations chosen by his team have had access to him. None mainstream. 


Despite promises by his father, the Trump Organization has licensing agreements with all its Indian business partners. They build the properties and acquire the Trump name in exchange for a fee. With five projects in India, the country is the brand's largest market outside the United States. Amey added that several foreign deals touted by the president's two adult sons have "stretched the definition of what ventures were previously in the works, (before Donald Trump became president).”

Trump has no clue about Middle-Class.

Are Trump’s sycophants and lemmings aware that federal employees who worked without pay or were furloughed during Trump’s insane, conniption fit, did not do it due to “…their allegiance to President Trump…,” as the thankless wretch in the Oval Office stated? They didn’t “volunteer” for this. They were threatened by firing if they didn’t show up to work. This is servitude. They blame him for their damaged credit, late-fee payments, interest loans, missed payments, meals and medical care, and more. Billionaire Wilber Ross said he “doesn’t understand this. Why don’t they simply go to the bank and get a loan? The banks will give them a loan.” Many, if not most, federal employees live paycheck to paycheck.  Trump told them to “make an arrangement with the grocer. Grocery stores will give you groceries if you tell them you’ll pay them when you get paid.” Federal employees took an oath to protect the Constitution, not Trump. Trump and his cronies have no idea how the Midd...

VERY IMPORTANT! - trump successfully diverted attention all week with his false rhetoric, tweets and insults, defaming veterans, Puerto Ricans, widows of dead soldiers, a Black Congresswoman, and who knows how much more, while his new, "old friend," Mitch McConnell set his Mongol Army on American Citizens. trump is the beginning of the final chapter of the Republican effort to show, Democracy doesn't work. The Country doesn't work. To bring down the Whole Country and Stephen  Bannon STATED VERBALLY and in PRINT he wanted to do. Reduce the Federal Government to a small "caretaker" government, where the citizens MUST rely strictly on their own for survival, no matter the circumstances.

While he diverted the country with his insults and inane comments, lies and B.S., and the media assist...

Hypocrites or not? You decide..

. SHELDON METZ · SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2016 To my ultra-religious friends who quote bible passages and support Trump, how about hearing this when he speaks on TV? Actual quotes fro a rally: DROPPING THE F - BOMB: "The Donald," as he is known, enters the arena, more as a billboard for self inflicted controversy. The supreme aggrandizer, somehow, stays in the game. Willing to use opening phrases such as, "Listen You Mother F*ckers …," which is cool, if your, you know, watching a film by Martin Scorsese, a play by David Mamet or listening to a rap song by Ice Cube, but as a presidential candidate, this is not cool at all. Once he gets a taste for the reaction, the audiences nervous laughter, the cussing continues. On Foreign Policy: "We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f*cking school in Brooklyn."
