His cabinet would need a revolving door on it and folding chairs with no desks! What a blowhard! He's treating his campaign like it was the reality series he was in. And using the same line prolifically; "You're fired"! 🙄

Part of me thinks he really doesn't want the presidency at this point.

Or that he's setting himself up for his next venture when he loses.

  You got that right, one talking head said that he thinking about starting a Trump News Network.  Him and Roger Ales.   :eek: :eek: :spooked: :spooked:

                                                                               Trump and Ales for kick ass news  :kick: for Republicans.  :zoners:

Drumpf is as corrupt as they come - like the vast majority of capitalists.

He's set it up so he is actually making money for himself from his presidential campaign:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/21/politics/donald-trump-business-spending-fec/

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump has directed nearly one-fifth of his campaign cash to companies that are part of his vast business empire, new federal records show.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/22/us/politics/donald-trump-self-funding-payments.html?_r=0

Donald J. Trump regularly boasts that he is self-funding his presidential bid, but new campaign finance filings show that he is also shifting plenty of money back to himself in the process.

According to documents submitted to the Federal Election Commission, Mr. Trump, whose campaign has just $1.3 million cash on hand, paid at least $1.1 million to his businesses and family members in May for expenses associated with events and travel costs. The total represents nearly a fifth of the $6 million that his campaign spent in the month.

The spending raised eyebrows among campaign finance experts and some of Mr. Trump's critics who have questioned whether the presumptive Republican nominee, who points to his business acumen as a case for his candidacy, is trying to do what he has suggested he would in 2000 when he mulled making an independent run: "It's very possible that I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it."

"He could end up turning a profit if he repaid himself for the campaign loans," said Paul S. Ryan, a campaign finance expert with the Campaign Legal Center. "He could get all his money back plus the profit margin for what his campaign has paid himself for goods and services."

While most candidates list an array of vendors providing goods and services on their filings, Mr. Trump's is packed with payments to his various clubs and buildings, his fleet of planes and his family. The self-proclaimed billionaire is required by law to account for his spending this way to prevent his companies from making illegal corporate donations to his campaign. In 2015, about $2.7 million was paid to at least seven companies Mr. Trump owns or to people who work for his real estate and branding empire, repaying them for services provided to his campaign.

Between June 16, when he announced his candidacy from the lobby of Trump Tower, through the end of 2015, the Trump campaign spent $2.2 million patronizing Trump businesses.

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

Yes. The scary thing is that people who support him either don't have a clue or don't care that he is a crook. I just hope they don't vote.

Also, they are caught up in his "make America great again" bullshit.  A bunch of fear mongers who can't think for themselves and look up what he is talking about.  I have friends that are voting for him and even when I point out the lies that Trump has said, they make up excuses and still idolize the man.  It's damn scary.
