FAKE PRESIDENT knowingly doesn't tell the truth. A great danger to our country. The failing @pResidency has become a joke. Likewise @bannonpreibusmiller. Sad!

anyways his DEEP financial situation needed loans, friends turned him down and Russian banks were sanctioned so no USA real estate to 'trade' to Russian mobsters for cash. ( I read a couple of those guys live in trump tower today)

some Republicans probably encouraged him to run for president to 'solve' his problems, the perfect patsy for experienced politicians to use and bagge(R)-voters connected with his-hitleresque shallow TV tabloid speak.

dt ordered the two people on the intelligence committee to call the fbi, and they did. This is the same committee who is supposed to make a determination on what's actually going on.

also want the repukes to go down. Those herns who can't be bothered listening to their constituents or doing their jobs? Those folks who never had a problem with any cabinet pick?


Hern
Typically used as a noun to describe one who is stupid, retarded or an absolute idiot; a person that the world could live without, in fact, would rather benefit from the lack of this person.
Also can be used to describe a person of major disgust or repulsiveness.
One who lowers the standards of the average educational levels; anyone ranks in the bottom 20% of education levels.

used his casinos, and bought condos to launder money.
Trump was charged with money laundering back in 195.

This guy seems to have unearthed a lot of back history, is posting copies from them, and tracking Sater, Manafourt, etc.

Remember, this government stuff is not like anything he's been used to, over his entire very long life.

I've tried to explain to various friends how you DON'T run the government like a business. It sounds great - THE solution of solutions. Simple, too! But MAN are we ever talking two separate and very different planets - on opposite ends of the galaxy from each other! It just doesn't work. It's not supposed to. Government isn't set up to work like the business world is. But that's all Agent Orange knows, and has ever known. And he's made sure to surround himself with other people from the business world, who ALSO have no experience whatsoever in the public sector.

It's easy to be king when you own your own private little fiefdom, and you can just wave your hand and decree what's what, and who's hired and promoted or fired. Hell, he's got that TV show background to reinforce it all, for fun and profit and heavy on the ego. Unfortunately for him, government is about as far from that construct as it's possible to get. It's just not the same thing.

And I doubt there's a man or woman alive today who's able to teach this old dog a new trick. Especially when he's going to refuse to listen, because - well, why should he? Those old ways and behaviors that he's used to, have worked so well for him in business and allowed him to get away with so much, and dominate so unilaterally throughout his life. So I'm sure he figures this presidentin' stuff now is just more of the same. NONE of that works in a government construct.

And if he's ever gonna learn that, I suspect he's gonna have to learn it the hard way.
