It is ALL MAGA's fault.     All.

But the truth is that you’d have to work incredibly hard to find a politician who has the kind of history of corruption, double-dealing, and fraud that Donald Trump has. The number of stories which could potentially deserve hundreds and hundreds of articles is absolutely staggering. Here’s a partial list:

  • Trump’s casino  bankruptcies , which left investors holding the bag while he skedaddled with their money
  • Trump’s habit of  refusing  to pay contractors who had done work for him, many of whom are struggling small businesses
  • Trump University , which includes not only the people who got scammed and the Florida investigation, but also a  similar story from Texas  where the investigation into Trump U was quashed.
  • The Trump Institute, another get-rich-quick scheme in which Trump allowed  a couple of grifters  to use his name to bilk people out of their money
  • The Trump Network, a multi-level marketing  venture  (a.k.a. pyramid scheme) that involved customers mailing in a urine sample which would be analyzed to produce for them a specially formulated package of multivitamins
  • Trump Model Management, which  reportedly  had foreign models lie to customs officials and work in the U.S. illegally, and kept them in squalid conditions while they earned almost nothing for the work they did
  • Trump’s  employment  of foreign guest workers at his resorts, which involves a claim that he can’t find Americans to do the work
  • Trump’s  use  of hundreds of undocumented workers from Poland in the 1980s, who were paid a pittance for their illegal work
  • Trump’s  history  of being charged with housing discrimination
  • Trump’s  connections  to mafia figures involved in New York construction
  • The time Trump  paid  the Federal Trade Commission $750,000 over charges that he violated anti-trust laws when trying to take over a rival casino company
  • The fact that Trump is now being advised by Roger Ailes, who was forced out as Fox News chief when dozens of women  came forward  to charge him with sexual harassment. According to the allegations, Ailes’s behavior was positively monstrous; as just one indicator, his abusive and predatory actions toward women were so well-known and so loathsome that in 1968 the morally upstanding folks in the Nixon administration refused to allow him to work there despite his key role in getting Nixon elected.

This was a multi level marketing pyramid scheme.

yep

According to The Skeptic's Dictionary, "In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission requires Amway to label its products with the message that 54% of Amway recruits make nothing and the rest earn on average $65 a month." [111]

Truth hurts, doesn't it John?

But, I have to thank you for consistently being the first only "ticket giver" I have on my comments for seven consecutive months.

To thank you, I would have to be rhetorical and I don't like repeating myself unlike others on NT, so I take back my thanks.

Sorry - we almost had a good moment - did you feel it?

The article is not a terms of service violation. If it was it would be gone, wouldnt it? 

None of you addressed the content of the article, and that is trolling. 

We have to go through this every damn day and usually all day every day.

So, that would make Jan 6th redundant, eh?  A lot of folks "thought" Trump should have won the election and, as such, using your definition of my comment in 4.0 as a barometer, none of them would be in jail.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

We can see that the right cannot defend Trump on any of these matters, all they can do is whine and troll.
