21 Questions That Donald Trump May Not Want To Answer

[DarkFury]

And the point of your post is what?

Vetting a candidate allows us to see all sides of them. The decision to select them as your runner is still yours.

Oh so now liberals want vetting. Not so much with Obama though who still refuses to answer questions about his past.

Obama has been elected, vetting is the process by which you examine your candidate prioe to an election. If you want to sat Democrats did a lousy job, go ahead but the Op is about Trump.

I vetted Trump on my own. Don't like him? To bad.

Donald Trump leaves many unanswered questions about his past and a strong reluctance to discuss anything about it. I am sure there are many people who will dismiss this article without considering it, but they should embrace it. Vetting a candidate allows us to see both the good and the bad and allows us to balance that view with the judgment that the candidate will do the correct thing in the right situation. In a Democratic society we pick our candidates and an honest and robust examination should be honored. Imagine if we had given President Obama such an examination? Would he have been elected?

21 Questions For Donald Trump
"I have covered Donald Trump off and on for 27 years — including breaking the story that in 1990, when he claimed to be worth $3 billion but could not pay interest on loans coming due, his bankers put his net worth at minus $295 million. And so I have closely watched what Trump does and what government documents reveal about his conduct.

Reporters, competing Republican candidates, and voters would learn a lot about Trump if they asked for complete answers to these 21 questions.

So, Mr. Trump…

1. You call yourself an “ardent philanthropist,” but have not donated a dollar to The Donald J. Trump Foundation since 2006. You’re not even the biggest donor to the foundation, having given about $3.7 million in the previous two decades while businesses associated with Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment gave the Trump Foundation $5 million. All the money since 2006 has come from those doing business with you.


How does giving away other people’s money, in what could be seen as a kickback scheme, make you a philanthropist?

2. New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman successfully sued you, alleging your Trump University was an “illegal educational institution” that charged up to $35,000 for “Trump Elite” mentorships promising personal advice from you, but you never showed up and your “special” list of lenders was photocopied from Scotsman Guide, a magazine found at any bookstore.

Why did you not show up?

3. You claimed The Learning Annex paid you a $1 million speaking fee, but on Larry King Live, you acknowledged the fee was $400,000 and the rest was the promotional value.

Since you have testified under oath that your public statements inflate the value of your assets, can voters use this as a guide, so whenever you say $1, in reality it is only 40 cents?

4. The one-page financial statement handed out at Trump Tower when you announced your candidacy says you’ve given away $102 million worth of land.

Will you supply a list of each of these gifts, with the values you assigned to them?

5. The biggest gift you have talked about appears to be an easement at the Palos Verdes, California, golf course bearing your name on land you wanted to build houses on, but that land is subject to landslides and is now the golf course driving range.

Did you or one of your businesses take a tax deduction for this land that you could not build on and do you think anyone should get a $25 million tax deduction for a similar self-could writeserving gift?

6. Trump Tower is not a steel girder high rise, but 58 stories of concrete.

Why did you use concrete instead of traditional steel girders?"

I could compose a much longer list of questions for Komrade Hillary to answer.

None of your questions are worth an answer.

So could we all. From whitewater onward, the bitch is one long investigation. That is why we should investigate trump. The man is on cursory examination crook. We need to look long and hard into him. Because the Democrats are.

You later paid a Scarfo associate twice the value of a lot, officials determined.

Since you boast that you always negotiate the best prices, why did you pay double the value of this real estate?

Is paying someone a good price for their property a crime? Why did Hillary take donations from countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar when she claims to be a champion of women's rights?

Paying a crime boss twice what something is worth is a red flag. Donald Trump should answer the question.

"Red flag" for what? In New York, it's the way business is done.

So gangsterism is Okay. That's really good to know.

He is in bed with these people. That worries me. Above and beyond everything else that worries me about him

Obama took a bribe from Rezko, look where it got him

People who deal in bribes wholesale like trumpp should not be ourse public officials

Yes and to question him and expect a fair response is something Donald Trump should be willing to give voters.

Your first major deal was converting the decrepit Commodore Hotel next to Grand Central Station into a Grand Hyatt. Mayor Abe Beame, a close ally of your father Fred, gave you the first-ever property tax abatement on a New York City hotel, worth at least $400 million over 40 years.

Since you boast that you are a self-made billionaire, how do you rationalize soliciting and accepting $400 million of welfare from the taxpayers?

You say that your experience as a manager will allow you to run the federal government much better than President Obama or Hillary Clinton. On Fortune Magazine’s 1999 list of the 496 most admired companies, your casino company ranked at the bottom – worst or almost worst in management, use of assets, employee talent, long-term investment value, and social responsibility. Your casino company later went bankrupt.

Why should voters believe your claims that you are a competent manager?

 

[SuperDemocrat]

That is 21 more questions than Obama has ever been asked during his entire time pretending to be president.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

I think a question you need to answer is who gave this to you to post on this website. There is no way you can write this well without some help or time to edit this. Are you a member of the Democratic Party who's job it is yo post political ads

Zomg!! The abatement was worth $10billion over 1,000 years!!

Admit it, if he or a partisan had a complete and well supported explanation to this that explained away any improprieties, you would not admit it, or thank them, you would drop it, and move onto another "question" that had not yet been debunked.

Because nothing you hear will even convince you that Trump is of good character, because you don't care about his character.

He is your enemy, and that is your motive for starting this thread.

To smear him.

People who had no interest in Obama taking a bribe from Tony Rezko are suddenly interested in real estate

"Your Trump Plaza casino was fined $200,000 for discriminating against women and minority blackjack dealers to curry favor with gambler Robert Libutti, who lost $12 million, and who insisted he never asked that blacks and women be replaced.

Why should we believe you “love” what you call “the blacks” and the enterprise you seek to lead would not discriminate again in the future if doing so appeared to be lucrative?"

Who honestly gives a shit about black people. I really don't know if this true but the left acts like that if a Pearson is treated unfairly and that person is black then a crime against humanity has occurred. I don't know about you but I think a lot of other ethnic groups would love to get that kind of treatment.

Well I can only say I hope you live long enough to be discriminated against by a black person.

You really are a dumbass. Paying off a gangster isn't being a gangster. If the mayor of New York did his job, Trump wouldn't have to do such things, but New York politicians are all corrupt. They're probably getting paid by the Mafia.

So paying off a crime boss involved with murder, corruption, and criminal enterprises is okay. When his history of flirting with crime catches up to him don't say I didn't tell you so.

Paying extortion isn't a crime, dumbass.

Concealing crime is against the law.

What crime did he conceal?

Extortion. You are the one who brought it up.

Not reporting it is not "concealing" it. Extortion victims often don't report the crime because they know they'll be dead before the cops ever do anything.

You're trying to blame the victim. That's a sleazy thing to do.
