Donald Trump, con man

[DaBurglar]

Someone explain why Trump, with all his make believe patriotism about making America great again (it was and always has been great) is persistently attacking Amazon?

For those of you who don't know, such as casino knight, Amazon right now is the single most prolific job creator in the USA, by far. Hands down it represents the new economy's future.

Trump, in his usual childish pathetic nonsensical manner, hates Mr bezos, the genius behind Amazon. I'm certain it's just pure jealousy. Bezos is worth anywhere from 35 to 60 billion depending on several factors....Trump is worth...well, no one really knows, he still refuses to release his full disclosure, tax et al. No other president would have been allowed to get away with this.

Meanwhile Trump cuts the pseudo bribery deal with zte China, because he says too many Chinese jobs are at stake...but there's also a huge incentive for Trump's business in the deal. This won't fly, I guarantee you.

Worst businessman in AC too...

Because the USPS has become their cheap delivery boy. I won't state my POV. Please take some of that copious free time of yours to read his diatribe. I'll attribute this to your depression caused by the Celtics sent off to summer vacation. LOL!

Casino Knight I'm ashamed of you for NOT knowing that Amazon right now is the single most prolific job creator in the USA, by far.

I'm having a tough time seeing the con job though. Maybe I need to re-watch "The Sting" and pay a bit more attention to Henry Gondorf's lines.

You know this because of what exactly? Because the world's leading bull****ter says it is so?

I think those stories were all made up and Amazon is a fantastic place to work.....

You're probably right. My public school education and life lessons don't come close to the brain trust of my bettors found here.
Hopefully you will overlook my lack of understanding, but probably not. Oh well. I'll just play the cards I'm dealt and do the best I can to survive.

Trump is a businessman, not a politician.  We had a politician President in the previous eight years and all we got was bad deals for America, more people on welfare and richer political insiders.    I did not vote for Trump.  I voted for Hillary.   That was a mistake.  Hillary's only message was she wasn't Trump.  She still can't get over the fact that she lost and she still doesn't know it was her own fault.  If she had given people hope instead of waiting to be anointed, she would have been President instead of becoming a crying loser.If you don't like Trump, I can understand it.  He's no saint that's for sure.  So far I think he has done a good job and the economy shows it.  If those people who are working in the Amazon warehouse want a better future, they should learn a marketable skill, not sit around waiting for a handout from Washington.    This country was built by entrepreneurs not politicians.  Ninety percent of the Realtors who work for my wife are not college graduates.  They average over $80K a year each.  Some have six figure incomes.  They got what they have by working hard for themselves, not by being given anything.  America is full of opportunities if people would stop blaming someone else for their problems and do something productive for themselves.I grew up in a family with six kids, a mom that didn't work and a father that fixed TVs for a living.  I knew I wasn't going to get help from anyone but myself.  Through pure luck I found a job repairing office machines.  That $80 a week job turned into a computer services business.   In 2000 I sold that business for more money than my father made in his whole life.   In 1966 my wife started out as a teller at a bank.  In 2000 she left banking and became one of the most successful Real Estate Brokers in Central Florida.  She retired last year and her commission referral checks are filling our mail box.  None of that would have happened if we had sat around complaining.I am not a political junkie.  I am not a Republican or a Democrat.  I don't sit around all day watching Fox News or CNN either.   My wife and I produce revenue, jobs and a better life for our employees and their families.  If you want to see more illegal immigrants, more free cell phones, more people on food stamps and more tax money going to countries that hate us, keep beating up Trump and you will get your wish.  The future America under Hillary and Bernie is not what I want my grand kids to inherit.

Again, just relaying DJT POV. Don't kill the messenger.

No problem.  There are two sides to every story.   Trump is the President.    Whether you like him or not, he's trying and that's all that matters.  For our Country's sake, I hope he succeeds.
