I see you are still playing either stupid or are refusing to answer what I wrote. Let me put this in the simplest form possible short of a coloring book and crayon.You are still playing the bob and weave. So once again you are saying that not only was it alright for carter to do somethings ng you are against but because you like him it was fine. You can claim that he was Jesus Christ and Buddha rolled into one person but he was doing the same thing with his business as Trump.Once again you did not answer any of it, YOU chose to bring up the licensing of his name I was talking about such things as Trump tower where he and others were involved. Where did you talk about why not one of you on the crazy left were screaming about emulments when Carter was in office? Where did you mention anything about caring about the Cinton foundation?I covered EXACTLY what you said. You want to give excuses that Trump was losing money on businesses he wasn't controlling on his own. That's bullshit, and as I pointed out to you VERY clearly, a lot of his income comes from licensing THE TRUMP NAME ONLY, for income, with ZERO capital risk to it. ZERO.
Love the bob and weave that you are hoping to pull off.
Well first off, I'm not on the left. Secondly when Carter was in office I was 5 years old when he left office.
It is quite funny you are talking shit about Carter when he is one of the most down to Earth Presidents of ALL-TIME. He's 94 years old and STILL helping build houses for Habitat for Humanity, and he STILL LIVES in a house worth only $167,000. You need to pick better battles.

I've said from the very beginning that I think the Clintons are shady. I've seen several people like you make this strawman argument and I will make you the same offer.
BET ME, LOSER LEAVES FORUM FOREVER... show ONE POST that I said I supported Clinton as President and voted for him or her. ONE POST. Either put up or shut up. If I supported either of them it should be pretty easy to find ONE POST out of my 21,000+ right?
You guys are all the same. Make statements and won't stand behind them.
You still are not addressing the fact that Trump and others were involved in certain projects.
Well goody for you not being a fan and f the Clintons but were you vocal about shutting down their foundation or did you just shrug? If you were not as vocal about her as you are about Trump then explain how you really think one should be treated differently
No, not what I said at all. I was FIVE YEARS OLD when he left office. I didn't give a rat's ass about the President at that time...
What I did say is, if Carter was as bad as you say, it is kind of odd that he was that crooked back then when here he is at age 94 years old and still building houses with Habitat for Humanity and lives in a $167,000 house. He must be so crooked to be living so far beyond his means right? How much do you think the median value of a house or condo sold in the Second quarter of 2018? $255,000

So you think Trump lost over a Billion dollars over a decade because of the "other people" he was doing business with? I don't think you know as much about the Trump company as you think you do.
And BTW, yes for about the first 6 months on this forum Clinton supporters HATED me because I know her and Bill are dirty. One of their lawyers was actually based in the city I live in now. I see you don't have the balls to put your money where your mouth is. Typical... talk shit trying to put words in my mouth and then won't back it up.
No one stopped Carter or Clinton by yelling about the emoluments clause. So we have at the very least two times that those in power did not fully divest themselves. They did not shut down, they did not sell. Now suddenly we have you and others saying that Trump should have done it diffrent. You can't allow two others to do one thing then suddenly change the way you want the rules to read simply because you don't like the guy.
Kind of like changing the rules in the middle of a baseball game because the other team is winning.
I stated that he may have been changing value on some properties based on how they were being managed by those that were running those properties. Try actually reading.
Is it possible that some of the properties like Trump tower that he had other partners in was allowed to lose money? Absolutely. As I stated before not a bad idea to let a property lose money then purchase it from your partners at a reduced price.
Yes he could have made some bad descision where he lost money without meaning to. Hell there are many that have done that. I bought land when I was young that I planned to retire on. My plans changed and I lost money on the land. Gaming casinos in Atlantic city did not turn out to be the golden goose some thought.
And you keep saying that about Carter with ZERO to back it up... and the fact he has lived a life that is below the average American.
As for your other comments, you keep making assumptions about why he lost money with ZERO to back it up. If you actually paid attention and KNEW about Trump's company, you'd know that you don't know shit. Do you think Trump has a huge company?
