An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power

Hostile biography. --- Stock-swindle story is not credible under securities laws. --- Investors who lost via Trump were not all innocent. Casino backers hoped to fleece bettors. Trump U students wanted to learn how to outwit others. --- Trump claimed intangible billions of net worth. The authors treat this as a sham, but top corporations do it. Obama wasted $50 billion trying to keep General Motors from bankruptcy, but the whole equity ownership was wiped out. The current G.M. is a new legal entity launched with more government funds. Yet Democrats treat the G.M. fiasco as a success. The authors ignore this context in debunking Trump. And they themselves say his notoriety was worth $2 billion in free publicity. --- The authors blame Trump for questioning Obama's birthplace. Yet from 1991 to 2007, Obama's literary agency said he was born in Kenya. The Clintons first pursued the issue. --- The authors blame Trump for denouncing the Central Park Five, without noting that the Five were in the Park at the time with a gang that did commit several violent crimes, and that the Five had confessed. --- The authors blame Trump for courting bluecollar workers, whom new Liberals consider bigots. They blame him for fistfights at his rallies caused by paid Democrat disrupters. They defend Hillary's Iraq War vote against Trump's claim that warmakers knew Saddam had no WMD. They attack Trump's stand on Muslims, but not Bush/Obama demolition of five Muslim countries. They deplore Trump's xenophobia, but not Democrat McCarthyism regarding Russia. They say nothing of Hillary's sale of Senate votes and State Dept rulings to foreigners (see CLINTON CASH). They ridicule Trump's request for reports of three pages (Churchill's limit was one page). --- Liberals said Trump was "against core American values" (abortion, sodomy, and open borders). They accused him of religious bias while they themselves banned school prayer, suppressed Christmas, punished Christians who refused to participate in gay weddings, ridiculed Intelligent Design, hounded the Catholic Church, prosecuted Mormon splinter sects, and bombed Muslim countries. They warned that reviving US industry would spark a trade war and harm the elitist importing class. For 17 months they said Trump was delusional to think he could be elected -- and that if he were, the stock market would instantly crash (it rose strongly). Madman John McCain called Trump supporters "crazies". Now these vultures claim Trump is a Russian agent. Why believe anything they say?
