As Paul Waldman points out in this excellent Washington Post article, the media has spent a lot of time covering Trump's idiotic, racist, and misogynistic comments. However, not nearly as much time has been spent covering the staggering amount of corruption in Trump's business dealings.

Instead, the media has created a misleading narrative that Hillary is the "corrupt" candidate and that Trump is mainly the crazy bigot and misogynist candidate. However, Trump is A LOT more than just a crazy bigot and misogynist. He is also a very corrupt business man. And Hillary's history of "corruption" pales in comparison to Trump.

Trump’s history of corruption is mind-boggling. So why is Clinton supposedly the corrupt one?


Here is just a partial list of some of Trump's corrupt business dealings:

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
  • 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.

Yep, so Trump should get a free pass for all of his corrupt business practices...while the media talks incessantly about the Clinton emails non-story.

My bad.

But to be fair, Trump's mentally ill behavior, such as tweeting outrageous comments at 3 am, and his non-stop idiotic comments does suck all of the oxygen out of other relevant media stories involving Trump.

Trump is not in power and did not take bribes.
You need a different word.

Hillary, on the other hand, took tons of bribes that bought favors and access.
Corrupt is the perfect word for her.

So you're basically stating there is no such thing as corrupt businessmen??? All the Wall Street assholes who wrecked the economy in 2008 will love to hear that.

So which one of these wall street criminals put national security at risk? Seems at this point there is no doubt hillary did...
And no i'm not saying wall street,or any other gov backed industry is clean as the driven snow but if you think hillary and Goldman Sachs aren't colluding you're F'n crazy.
 
Not one comment from you Repug lightweight goobers about Trump's corrupt business dealings, just a bunch of frivolous lame ass retorts.

You worthless racists have got no game, no facts, and no intellect.
 
The progressives around here have started to embarrass themselves regarding clinton.

Oh hell, they did that at least a year ago.

While true it's come to the point of fanaticism these days.

Oh, Oh....racist Repug Trumpkins are giving each other comforting hand jobs again. At least wait until Nov 8 when you lose, fellas.

This has to be the most desperate response I've received in election time.
Thanks dude..

you guys even portrayed Romney as corrupt.
 
As Paul Waldman points out in this excellent Washington Post article, the media has spent a lot of time covering Trump's idiotic, racist, and misogynistic comments. However, not nearly as much time has been spent covering the staggering amount of corruption in Trump's business dealings.

Instead, the media has created a misleading narrative that Hillary is the "corrupt" candidate and that Trump is mainly the crazy bigot and misogynist candidate. However, Trump is A LOT more than just a crazy bigot and misogynist. He is also a very corrupt business man. And Hillary's history of "corruption" pales in comparison to Trump.

Trump’s history of corruption is mind-boggling. So why is Clinton supposedly the corrupt one?


Here is just a partial list of some of Trump's corrupt business dealings:

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
  • 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.

corruption: dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery

/end thread

Yep, so Trump should get a free pass for all of his corrupt business practices...while the media talks incessantly about the Clinton emails non-story.

My bad.

Trump is not in power and did not take bribes.
You need a different word.

Hillary, on the other hand, took tons of bribes that bought favors and access.
Corrupt is the perfect word for her.

So you're basically stating there is no such thing as corrupt businessmen??? All the Wall Street assholes who wrecked the economy in 2008 will love to hear that.

I'm thinking you may want to retract your ridiculous comment.

I'm telling you, this is the definition of corruption.

How does anything on your list fit the definition?

You don't like what they did, fine, but you need a word that fits, because corruption doesn't.

I'm thinking

It would be nice if you started. Hasn't happened yet on this thread.
