Straight from the Madman's mouth.

Considering the recent revelations regarding the Trump Foundation, the ad and talking point should write itself.

1. isn't that what the government does with our tax money?

I earn it, they spend it and I don't get a say so.

[bigwillq]

3. Yup. And they waste it, most of the time. (nt)

[maxsolomon]

6. wait. your contention is that >50% of federal spending is "waste"?

or is that "truthful hyperbole"?

[bigwillq]

11. Yes

The government does a fine job of wasting and mismanaging federal tax dollars.

12. Well, if you're saying that the Trump Foundation operated at the same level as the government....

....where at least there's an open sense of where your money is going, agree or not.

But in most instances, the government's not a slush fund, people don't voluntarily donate to the government with the intent it will go to charity, and there are open records and specific laws as to what goes where and for what purpose. And the government isn't centered around the name of a single individual and how that single individual is perceived regarding his generosity (or lack thereof).

Your strange analogy makes absolutely no sense. Sorry.

4. The story

http://bcove.me/swlimn41

Donald Trump, in hot water over a report that his charity used donations to cover business-related legal fees, told a campaign rally crowd on Tuesday that “there’s nothing like doing things with other people’s money.”

The comment about “other people’s money” came during a campaign rally in North Carolina, where Trump pledged to keep refugees from the Middle East out of the U.S. and instead put them in “safe zones” that would be built with money from Gulf nations. It is a financial maneuver the real estate mogul said he has performed many times throughout his career.

“It’s called OPM. I do that all the time in business. It’s called other people’s money. There’s nothing like doing things with other people’s money,” Trump said. “Because it takes, the risk, you get a good chunk of it and it takes the risk. We’re going to do this, in this case, from a humanitarian standpoint. OPM: other people’s money.”

Under a Trump administration, the Gulf states would not be the only foreign countries on the hook to pay for the Manhattan billionaire’s proposals. From the very beginning of his campaign, Trump has pledged to build a wall along America’s southern border and force Mexico to pay for it. During Trump’s visit to Mexico last month, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said his nation would not pay for the wall. Trump said the subject of who would pay was not discussed during their meeting.


================================

I'm guessing he has already secured the "real estate" for these safe zones..........trump zones to be managed by his "blind trust" children run group. To be catered by trump catering, whose clothes will be laundered by the trump laundry, and so on and so on..........................

10. From Transcripts of a CNN special on Trump

"PERSKIE: The reason that Trump's casinos failed in Atlantic City have nothing to do with the nature of industry in the Atlantic City, with respect to the recession; all of the other properties in Atlantic City made it through all of that. Trump's properties did not because of the decisions that he made."

"BORGER: Trump makes the point of saying he never went personally bankrupt, but there's a reason why the banks decided to keep Trump whole.

POMERANTZ: We made the decision that he would be worth more alive to us than dead. Dead meaning, in bankruptcy. We don't want him to be in bankruptcy. We want him out in the world selling these assets for us.

BORGER: So you wanted him alive because he was a salesman and could best sell his own properties.

POMERANTZ: That's correct. We kept him alive to help us.

My guess Don is broke and has used other people money his whole life and works exclusively for the banking system / other countries
