    By supporting a group "dedicated to overthrowing the US". And now that he is protesting Trump, we know what he is dedicated to.

    Look at Brennan's track record since 1976 and then look at Trump's.

    I hope you'll give it a go. Whether you agree with him or not, he's a smart professor and like me, you'll probably learn something of value. Anyway, it is interesting to see the history he lays out for us. Happy viewing! :razz:

    Trump never hacked into Senate computers and lie to Congress about it.

    As far as I know, my statistics are for the U.S. I don't know about the rest of the world, though I suspect it wouldn't be much different. I can't give you a specific source, for I've seen the same statistics several times in different sources.

    Trump did do well as a businessman with the money he had. But it's important to acknowledge that he inherited more money than most Americans earn in an entire lifetime. There's an old saying that I've found to be true in my lifetime: "It takes money to make money." Trump had the funds to make the investments necessary to allow him to succeed financially. Most Americans don't. Having that made a difference for him as it would for anyone else. Lastly, I gie Trump credit for being an astute businessman and money maker, but being President is an entirely different job, and Trump is the biggest failure at that job of any I've seen in my lifetime.

    It was more like $300 million he inherited and he had to screw over his dead brothers family to get it.

    Actually, I heard it was aliens from outer space, traveling back through time from five hundred years in Earth's future who gave Trump the tips he needed to cash in 'big' on the stock market and make all those billions.

    Let's see. I've just written a bunch of bullshit that I provided no evidence for. In the post above, you did the same thing, and XploreR, whose post I had responded to, made the same kind of unsupported claims. So, then, is our little group the 'Three Stooges', or what...? :lol:

    No.. Trump's father's estate was between 250-300 million.. and his brother's heirs had to sue Trump when he screwed them over.. Trump in turn cancelled the family health insurance plan his father had set up leaving a seriously ill toddler uninsurable with a pre-existing condition.

    Links? Proof? Nothing? Really, Margot, I have respected you for years for being a LOT more committed to responsible, verifiable posts than this drivel.... I do not doubt that some people have an opinion about what went 'down' with the Trump family, its money, its estates, its inheritances, etc., but mere opinions are like 'butt-holes', Margot -- everybody's got one.... :mrgreen:
