[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2070524, member: 18225"] Trump lies repeatedly. Anyone who can't see that is doe-eyed, at best, and clearly a poor consumer of all the information available on the internet. Trumps' con is right there in his first book, "The Art of the Deal", and it's basically the playbook for his Presidential run. It doesn't matter that what he's selling isn't possible (all politicians do that), but Trump's claims are so patently absurd that the fact he's winning just goes to show you how successful he really is at his con. In the exit polls in South Carolina, a lot of people said they thought he was a bum, didn't really believe him, but that [B][I]they voted for him anyway because he's saying the right thing[/I][/B]. As far as his business acumen, he hasn't had a real success since the late eighties/ early nineties. Virtually everything he's touched since then has turned to crap. Forbes did a study and reported that if Trump had simply taken the $100 million? given to him by his father and invested it in modest mutual funds and other low-risk investments, he'd be worth $8 billion today. He's currently worth between $2 and $4 billion, depending on whom you believe, so that doesn't speak well for his business sense. If you buy the dubious concept that a businessman would make the best President, Trump certainly wouldn't be the guy to pick. But, hey, he's saying all the right things, so, GO TRUMP! [/QUOTE]
