Politics and Money

[Elroy Jetson]

As many have suggested previously Donald Trump is not even a tiny fraction of the successful business person he pretends to be.

The "Income" Donald Trump has listed on his required Financial Disclosure Forms are actually the gross sales revenue for his companies prior to deducting costs and expenses. - http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/04/us/politics/donald-trump-money.html

Donald Trump is running for President primarily to prop-up is failing business ventures as most of the cash from Republican donors have passed through directly to Trump hotels and service companies which make up most of Trump's "campaign spending".

The Washington DC Trump hotel whose opening Donald Trump made into an embarrassing "campaign stop" has few if any customers. Reporters who have subsequently checked back on the troubled new hotel for guests report they can hear crickets but don't see any actual hotel guests even though hotel booking sites are offering 2/3 off the normal room rates.

Even cheesier, Trump's son-in-law is now hiring for the new Trump News Network. Although disgraced former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes is prevented from working directly for the new Trump News Network, due to his non-compete contract with Fox News and the Murdoch family, Ailes is currently working as a Trump employee. - https://thinkprogress.org/trump-and-the-art-of-the-super-casual-lie-3a0c07e590d9#.z4jxkmod7
