My wife had a provocative question I'm not hearing being asked:
What happens if a tRump building gets attacked (bombed, burned, etc)??
Those buildings would be prime targets.
At the very least who would want to stay in one after that?
At the worst how would he react? Would we go to war over it?
He needs to liquidate his assets and place it all in a blind trust (if he has any assets).

He's a billionaire, only he he doesn't bother to say that it's billion's of dollars of debts, not assets.

(29,250 posts)all his billionaire cabinet members got their offers in exchange for payment to him of some kind... I wouldn't put that kind of a deal past him.

(10,137 posts)and I wouldn't want them to suffer any harm. The people staying there voluntarily - that's their lookout. As for the buildings - they're just buildings and should not be of any concern to the US.
If a building is destroyed (and no one innocent, I hope, injured) we can look forward to Trump suing his insurance companies when they refuse to pay, claiming acts of war.

(615 posts)You have to remember that these voters have been told over and over again that raising the minimum wage would send jobs elsewhere so much that they believe it to their core and to the point that they will vote against raising their own wages. The GOP has preyed upon the loss of jobs (that has nothing to do with a min wage hike) to the point that these people believe that their fast food and service jobs will dry up.
-note I am not disparaging fast food and service workers
