Looks like Trump's phallic symbol in the desert is taking in the shorts, hotel bookings off by 71% in Vegas.



"Bookings at Trump Hotels plummet by more than half in response to The Donald's controversial presidential campaign"

From the link in Post 2901,
Quote:
The data on the five-star boutique hotel collection's bookings has come solely from Hipmunk, which is mainly used by younger people who may not agree with Trump's stance on several political issues.

The figures do not reflect how well the company is faring through other travel providers.

Daily Mail Online has contacted Trump Hotels for comment.
It was the last paragraph in the article so I can understand how a casual reader could have missed it.

Elegant! The closing is universal to a degree in that each individual opinion is but a slender thread.

Proof positive Trump is a slime ball.

NY Democrat: Trump should return money to 9/11 recovery fund

Goes o show that this guy would do anything for a buck, even collect under false pretenses.
Quote:
Donald Trump is “a small man” for accepting $150,000 from a federal fund for small businesses hurt by the Sept. 11 attacks and should return the money or donate it to charity, a New York Democratic congressman said.
Quote:
Citing previous reports, Nadler said that Trump company had $26.8 million in annual revenue. The federal definition of small businesses is those that have earned less than $6 million, Nadler said.
Wonder how they qualified.

So we have finally come to the end for this election season, our choice is between a liar and a cheat, a two party system offering up their worst.

He sent a fat check to Bernie and Bernie sent it back.

Quote:
Shkreli, who is currently awaiting trial for securities fraud, said later that “all you people who don't like trump are jealous, stupid and poor! don't make me laugh!”
Klassy!

Trump University is back in the news.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...mepage%2Fstory

"A federal judge has ordered the release of internal Trump University documents in an ongoing lawsuit against the company, including “playbooks” that advised sales personnel how to market high-priced courses on getting rich through real estate.

The Friday ruling, in which Judge Gonzalo Curiel cited heightened public interest in presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, was issued in response to a request by The Washington Post. The ruling was a setback for Trump, whose attorneys argued that the documents contained trade secrets.

Curiel’s order came the same day that Trump railed against the judge at a boisterous San Diego rally for his handling of the case, in which students have alleged they were misled and defrauded. The trial is set for November." WaPo
