Billary is also a bit shy over her own generosity after Trump revealed not only where his raised funds had gone but also his personal $1m donation.
He finally found his missing donation then.. Nothing to do with the veterans who were threatening to sue him about it.CNN also said:
She said "of course" she had contributed personally as well. But she didn't provide further details, such as how much she donated and to whom.
No doubt the USA media will be explicitly looking into this evasive response.So he held a fundraiser in January, has been saying for months now he's raised over $5 million, yet most of the organisations only got their cheques last week, after the story about the missing payments hit the media.

North Korea are backing Trump, describing him as a "wise politician" and a "far-sighted presidential candidate".

A valuable endorsement I'm sure.

In all fairness, it is preferrable to them wanting to nuke us. Which I would think might be rather obvious.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-36423319

And I am not really sure how having improved relations with them would be ethically any different than our close ties with the head-chopping oil rackateers in Saudi Arabia.

No doubt the USA media will be explicitly looking into this evasive response.Putting both sides of the story is normally seen as less biased than one-liners with half the story at best.

Not entirely a surprise given how complimentary Trumpy was about Kim Jong-Un's management style.....http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-36423319

Apparently the Trump University fraud case is dodgy because the judge is..... Mexican
Not quite.Apparently the Trump University fraud case is dodgy because the judge is..... Mexican
As I haven't had time to view the entire press conference, here's something from the CNN website which at least puts the other side, and taking both sides at face value the criticism is because of anti-Trump politicised action that a "Latino lawyers group" (of which the judge is a member) has been engaged in. Is that the sort of political neutrality expected of judges in the USA?
CNN said:
"I think what's really interesting about this particular judge -- as Mr. Trump refers to him as a 'Trump hater' -- is he even mentions on his judicial questionnaire that he was a La Raza Lawyers Association member," Pierson said, apparently referring to the questionnaire Curiel filled out when his confirmation was being considered by the Senate. "This is an organization that has been out there organizing anti-Trump protesters with the Mexican flags -- they are pushing it. The signs have been very apparent. And so Mr. Trump is just stating the obvious."
CNN has reached out to the La Raza Lawyers Association's national office and the San Diego chapter, but calls were not immediately returned.

At the end of the day TrumpU was a Ponzi scheme, pure and simple and thousands of people lost a lot of money, in some cases their life savings. Whether you like / hate Hillary / Bernie / Whoever those are facts. Trump is a conman, TrumpU was designed purely to rob gullible people of thousands of dollars of their hard earned money. How can anyone think that someone who does that is fit to run for office. Seriously?

Seems some corporate US types don't want to be associated with Trump...

One can only wonder why... probably the fault of the liberal lefty media again.

It's funny if you read his real Twitter feed because its just like that.
That's why I was finding it amusing...just close enough to the real thing to make you think.Obviously has nowt to do with me being a Brit, but I find myself liking him
I don't agree with everything he says, but at least he's prepared to speak up.If he tones down some of his more extreme rhetoric a bit nearer the election, it wouldn't surprise me if Mrs Clinton got a surprise.

Well, once and maybe a little bit if it hadn't been for his brother I'd like to see him win, a vote for us to leave and then a letter over to Obama to ask him what he thought about the back of the queue now

Read all about Trump University have you? About the thousands of mainly vulnerable people who were conned out of what in many cases were their life savings? A scam so bad that a judge compared Trump to Madoff? But you "find yourself liking him"? Wow. Did you also think the Krays were "nice boys, kind to their old mum" but who got a bit "carried away"? You probably think Nicholas van Hoogstraten is a "decent bloke who tells it how it is"? I don't agree with everything he says, but at least he's prepared to speak up.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
