The casinos were failures and he lost. He’s had success in other areas and has done well for himself. Doesn’t bother me that’s he’s wealthy. Seems you only care how Rs get rich. Could be wrong though. Care to discuss anything other than your dislike of the former POTUS because we get that. You’ve been very clear.

Well, they did sue and there was a settlement that got some of their money back.
Whatever, and it is old news. Call it a "seminar" or a "university" it was a scam from the get go and a lot of people lost money.

Frankly most accredited Universities could be sued on the same grounds for over charging for useless degrees these days. There were quite a few business book series in the past for people who didn’t want to go or pay for college for the papers on the wall. This discussion/media fervor is asinine at best and it is old news.

So the people got $25M back. More than fair considering no one forced them to buy into it and Trump wasn’t a politician at the time. I’m not even sure how much money he personally made from it. Coumo’s book on leadership is a bigger scam IMO.

Can't be a scam if people exercise their free will and buy it. Free enterprise. R's used to be for it.

Nope. Coumo didn't charge 35k for lessons, just a book like 'art of the deal'

Ok. It was a settlement to make people feel whole for their disappointment. So what? Some people had buyer’s remorse and found a judge to give them money back.

What policies do you like? What would President Bobbies’s platform look like?

Also, we’re the Clintons wealthy before Bill became Gov? Frankly, don’t care but I’m hoping you come up with something new or policy related when discussing Trump or any Republican.

How do you think the current President is doing? What policies do you like? Many of us would love to discuss that without whataboutisms from you and Paul.

See Brew. When you ask them a direct question on policy and what is currently going on in this mess, you never get an answer. They just deflect back to a guy who has been out of office for 6 months. It is truly amazing that some can’t live in and answer for today.
