I'm not, but man, 4 consecutive years of winning is going to be a major emotional drain, that's for sure!

it is known.


Sprint, T-Mobile gain after Trump announces SoftBank will invest $50 billion in US
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/06/sprint-t-mobile-gain-after-trump-announces-softbank-will-invest-50-billion-in-us.html

In August, Bloomberg reported that Son was still eyeing T-Mobile and would still like to merge it with Sprint. In 2014, the Japanese billionaire considered buying T-Mobile, but dropped the effort once U.S. officials signaled they would be against the potential merger.

So basically this was going to happen anyway, but Trump is going to take credit.  Get used to this folks.

Yep. GOP, the party of crony capitalism. When Obama attempted anything even bordering on this, they had a meltdown - "muh free market! Socialism!" But when they do it, well, that's just putting America first. I think any Republican who was a party affiliate on the basis of fiscal responsibility and free markets should be seriously reevaluating their allegiance. Same with anyone who doesn't endorse crony capitalism.

Why not hire all those guys to copy Encyclopedia Britanica by hand  and pay each one of them USD$1,000,000 (of course, they would have to provide their own writing materials)?

I now remember, where I have heard about a similar case. Actually, I should have thought of it before: the hair color!

I think it's called entertainment. What's a little fudging of the facts when he puts on a good show!

trump is promoting the influx of saudi-money through a third company, which gives him free PR....and maybe gets a multi-billion contract in return.

win win win?

Just wait until the eclipse next year, when he'll take credit for bringing the sun back.

If only we could throw him into a volcano after his time as God-King Pussygrabber comes to and end. (Although really, I think he'll die, quit, or get impeached before 4 years are up.)

It feel good to see both parties showing their true colors. Neither the Democrats or Republicans are "free market".

Oh well, maybe the ends justify the means, so who knows. *shrugs*

If history and economics are any indicators, crony capitalism doesn't end well for anyone besides the ones at the top getting fat off these deals. The workers lose, fair competition loses, and, ultimately, the economy loses. The aim of our politics should be creating a fair playing field for all, so that every business has the chance to compete in the market place, unobstructed by monopolies or the government squandering taxpayer money benefitting one business at the expense of another.

Do Democrats care about this now?

Anyway, "crony capitalism" is the dumbest expression on Earth...

seems more important when the president makes a buck through his own political decisions.
