    Seriously, why is no one talking about this? Seems like a pretty big deal to me.
    It's a big deal in the media. If you're asking why no one here is talking about, my guess is that the conservatives cannot really defend it. So there's no argument? I posted it about it the other night when the paper's were released.
    I guess so. I would be very interested to hear from the conservatives who are considering voting for Trump to be the POTUS. I would like to know how they will justify their vote for someone who is in charge of something like this... basically a ponzi scheme. Wondering if they are okay with a President who will purposefully and pointedly scam and take advantage of vulnerable people, and, if they aren't okay with that, how they are managing to sweep this under their mental rug.
    They won't answer the question. Their response will be "I'd rather vote for a guy that tried to earn money than someone who used their own email account or someone who ignored our people in benghazi."
    What is clear, from the the Trump U to the steaks he is hawking to the Trump water, and everything in between, is that he has no interest in being a public servant. This is simply the ultimate sale for him and he knows it will guarantee long term income during and post presidency, better than he could imagine.

    In his most recent financial disclosure statement, Donald Trump notes he has billions of dollars in assets. But the presumptive GOP nominee also has a tremendous load of debt that includes five loans each over $50 million. (The disclosure form, which presidential candidates must submit, does not compel candidates to reveal the specific amount of any loans that exceed $50 million, and Trump has chosen not to provide details.) Two of those megaloans are held by Deutsche Bank, which is based in Germany but has US subsidiaries. And this prompts a question that no other major American presidential candidate has had to face: What are the implications of the chief executive of the US government being in hock for $100 million (or more) to a foreign entity that has tried to evade laws aimed at curtailing risky financial shenanigans, that was recently caught manipulating markets around the world and that attempts to influence the US government?
    good question...

    The deflections from Trump fans on Facebook and Twitter dissing Hawking just because he can't walk would be hilarious if it weren't so real and a huge number of them.

    Jesus could come back and say Trump bad man and they'd crucify him again.

    These are the same people who would rather vote for a worse Halliburton with Dubya than democratic less worse Benghazi because white republican male.

    The main point: Ryan is endorsing him solely because he "has to" as a Republican (and a pussy).

    I don't see an attack coming because he is not against the science Hawking has lived for and presented to the world.

    Oh yeah? Is it as mesmerizing when it about Hillary in the Hillary thread too? Or are you only mesmerized by the people who understand that Trump is fruit loop?

    I don't see disdain as deep in that thread as I do in this one.
    The Trump protesters in this thread can be as nasty as the press presents.

    Trump doesn't like personal attacks.
    The insult from Hawking was that, an insult not an attack.
    No personal gain could be had by Hawking from saying that.
    Trump realizes this.

    Why do you care if Trumps likes or doesn't like the attacks on his character that he fully deserves because of his own actions and decisions?
    Pretty sure I've seen you attack the character of plenty of people. Are you just not thinking objectively here?

    I am talking about Trump.
    He knows when to pick his battles.
    When one side has an objective and motive to attack him he fights back.
    Insults are like water of a ducks back to him, why else do you think the media has no effect on the guy?
    The press is not thinking objectively when they want to cover Trump.
    Hawking has opinions of Trump but he is not presenting them as facts.

    I still don't understand how this is schadenfreude and I don't quite understand what you are saying here. But I would disagree with the part I understand. The media ABSOLUTELY gets under his skin. He does a good job of manipulating them and changing the subject, but there is no doubt that his skin is thin. Look at the conference about the military donations. He was so angry that he was getting questioned. It was written all over his face. He has 5 more months of bad press. Let's see how he does with all the 'haters'.

    Same with the left. Remember the election is about choices. It's not about the candidate you wish you had.

    It's what people say because it's still contested. Wait until October and they are on stage together. The difference between right and left is much more clear than left and really left. Look how the right has coalesced behind trump.
