If Trump is a Libertarian, then the earth is flat. Libertarians don't believe in buying off state and local politicians to condemn and acquire private property through eminent domain for personal gain. Libertarians don't believe in eminent domain at all, because it goes against property rights, which is one of the cornerstones of Libertarianism.

All parties should agree that Trump is a COMPLETE waste of out time. He is an entertainer. Lets try to focus on real issues. He will fall away.

Doesn't Trump have enough?

He should have left that poor woman alone.

I still get pi**ed when I think about it.
do you get pi**ed when you think about

Obama says he initiated and led efforts that thrust Altgeld's asbestos problem into the headlines, pushing city officials to call hearings and a reluctant housing authority to start a cleanup.

But others tell the story much differently.

They say Obama did not play the singular role in the asbestos episode that he portrays in the best-selling memoir "Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance." Credit for pushing officials to deal with the cancer-causing substance, according to interviews and news accounts from that period, also goes to a well-known preexisting group at Altgeld Gardens and to a local newspaper called the Chicago Reporter. Obama does not mention either one in his book.

"Just because someone writes it doesn't make it true," said longtime Altgeld resident Hazel Johnson, who worked with Obama on the asbestos campaign and had been pushing for a variety of environmental cleanups years before he arrived.

I remember that story but the year seems way off to me. I thought it was much earlier than the 90s.

But this is the kind of "git 'er done" Trump history that will appeal to people:

"A similar opportunity would arise in the city's attempt to restore the Wollman Rink in Central Park, a project started in 1980 with an expected 2½-year construction schedule that was still, with $12 million spent, nowhere near completion in 1986. Trump offered to take over the job at no charge to the city, an offer that was initially rebuffed until it received much local media attention. Trump was given the job which he completed in six months and with $750,000 of the $3 million budgeted for the project left over."

Trump is smart enough to completely eliminate the middle class. There will be no one making between 60K or 70K up to 500K to a million.
A few will make multi-millions to hundreds of millions, and 99.5% will be making 20 - 25K a year, no pensions, no health care. He has has so much money for so long, and as exhibited in how he treats people, he just doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself and his rich friends.

But right now the only thing that seems to have his very expensive boxers in a bunch is Obama's birth certificate, something that doesn't matter now, but shows the selfish self centered "donald" mentality, of me me me me.
