Thanks for stepping in, Mr. Bloomberg. It’s great you are using your self-earned fortune, which dwarf’s Donny’s alleged fortune that was inherited, to fight ignorance and incompetence.

Thanks for the cash, Mike!

First time so far I've supported Bloomberg! Good on him!

Is the headline all wrong? Is he heading a pro-Trump operation? He was always a Republican. He wants low taxes for the rich. He wants to sabotage the Sanders campaign.

He will back Biden because he is less likely to beat Trump than Sanders is. He wants the Democrats to have the candidate people do not want to vote for, a repeat of 2016.

-1 ( +1 / -2 )

The Dems may have the wealth but we have the votes.

This is something Democrats and liberals can never understand.

The elites can spend all the billions they want, they will lose in November.

Yup and watch Bloomberg spend and waste another half a billion in trying to stop him. Imagine the good you could with that cash.

Um, you didn't win the popular vote. You have the unequal EC and that's it.

Imagine the good you could with that cash.

Like removing Trump.

And that’s the only thing that counts, the Dems seem to be struggling with that now. Biden, the establishment, the safe bet that no one wants and that will lose big to Trump and as much as the gaffe machine he is or Bernie the popular Marxist that resonates with the young overwhelmingly and who’s nomination would destroy the Democrat party. Hmmm...decisions, decisions....

Like removing Trump

If the FBI and the impeachment couldn’t with all the millions spent, then Mike with his half a billion lost (but he got Samoa) he definitely doesn’t have a chance. Lol

Give it to one of Trump’s charities so Trump can skim off the top?

Better spent on Democrats, money means nothing to them since they love using other people’s money which makes socialism all the more appealing.

Global elite billionaires have always hated Trump.

Actually, its the other way round.

Donny is jealous of billionaires, because he isn't one.

Donny is jealous because others started with less money and built it into large fortunes.

Donny on the other hand took millions from his dad and has less money than before in real terms.

2 ( +3 / -1 )

Guess why Donny doesn't spend his own money , because he doesn't have much....

No wonder he has to siphon off his charities for living expenses...

I read he was regarded as a figure of fun to elite businesspeople. I read a great description of him as the Rodney Dangerfield of billionaires.

No, Democrats have been using other people’s money for over 80 years.

Guess why Donny doesn't spend his own money , because he doesn't have much....

More than everyone here on JT, more than most people, enough to have one of the most iconic casino with his name on it in Vegas, property homes all over the world, private jet, helicopter etc.

Yeah, you get all that cheap on Amazon, ROFL!

I am sure there are a few billionaires on JT who might not agree.

But I hope you know Donny's casino went bankrupt!!

It takes a special kind of a dumb businessman to bankrupt a casino!

Well for properties and homes, you can always borrow from Peter and buy from Paul, something Donny knows well about!!!

Like Trump said, we can’t have a weak military, Obama stripped it, Trump spent money to rebuild and upgrade it, I’m happy. But with the economy great and people spending more money revenue is being generated, cut the entitlements, that’ll help.

Not in Vegas.

It takes a special kind of a dumb businessman to bankrupt a casino!

I remember Obama green pet projects like Solyndra and 7 others going bankrupt and I still didn’t get a refund.

Well for properties and homes, you can always borrow from Peter and buy from Paul,

Bankruptcy laws were designed just for that and he rebuilt his fortune. 14 years on apprentice and getting paid every appearance in writing some books helps quite a bit

Donny knows well about!!!

He sure did.

-4 ( +1 / -5 )

Not in Vegas.

ROFL, you cannot bankrupt what you don't own!!! Research gone wrong???

I remember Obama green pet projects like Solyndra and 7 others going bankrupt

Alternative facts again??? Was Obama a businessman?

and I still didn’t get a refund.

Yawn

Bankruptcy laws were designed just for that and he rebuilt his fortune. 

So you admit Donny made money by using bankruptcy laws?

14 years on apprentice and getting paid every appearance in writing some books helps quite a bit

Jerry Springer Show ran for 17 years, I would prefer him as President!!!!

His name, his casino, was in Vegas last month, gold letters intact.

Alternative facts again??? Was Obama a businessman? 

rhetorical question? Worse....

So you admit Donny made money by using bankruptcy laws?

”He” even admits it, it’s what helped him restructure and the he wrote the book on the Art of the comeback, made millions, made millions of the apprentice, invested, became President, about to have another term, sounds like more than winning to me. Alternative facts can’t change that.

Proof?

rhetorical question? Worse...

We were discussing Donny's business skills, so again was Obama a businessman?

Jerry Springer made millions, maybe more than donny.That sounds like winning!!

Also we don't know how much donny makes because he doesn't release his taxes.

But profiting from Bankruptcy , thats a real despicable way of making money, his vendors go bankrupt but he still makes money.

Alternative facts can’t change that.

Sure they can't, just like donny's casino!!!

He was a good father, I’ll give him that.

Not in investments, property and land equity. Besides, Springer is not sitting in the WH ans never will. ROFL!

You know the that a hotel and a casino are not the same right???

He was a good father, I’ll give him that.

Unfortunately for Donny he's not even that!!!

Not in investments, property and land equity.

Unless you've seen his tax returns you cannot know that.

Springer is not sitting in the WH ans never will. ROFL!

He probably is more qualified than Donny, ROFL.

@Burning Bush

Global elite billionaires have always hated Trump.

Most people who've known him have.

But you seem to suggest that Trump is not a "global elite billionaire". If he's not that, how do you define him? Global elite truck driver? One-horse town billionaire? He is a billionaire, I think you'd agree. And billionaires, by definition, are in the "elite". Global? Although he has no interest in the welfare of humanity besides himself and most of his family, he does have business interests in several countries, so that ticks the "global" box too. How on earth can you say he's not a "global elite billionaire"?

None of his kids went to prison, good schools, great family, made money, successful, speak well, don’t know what you are talking about. Lol

Unless you've seen his tax returns you cannot know that.

Nor liberals.

He probably is more qualified than Donny, ROFL.

But his not and never will be President, never.

Most people want ANYONE BUT TRUMP. Biden is not Trump. He'll do, for a start.

“We're not done with you yet, Donald,”

LOL, Bloomy's not yet finished wasting money. I've never seen so much money wasted in such a short period of time.

Um, you didn't win the popular vote.

Yeah, we won the popular vote outside of nutty California, and we're going to win the popular vote in 2020 even with nutty California.

You have the unequal EC and that's it.

Why are you against our Constitution, SuperLib? The 'unequal" EC was fine with Hillary and her supporters until she lost it. The "unequal" EC keeps California and New York from deciding who our president is for the rest of the country.

Debatable what his children have or have not done, but they don't seem to be smart as Don Jus statements and Ivanka's attempts to hang out with the real achievers prove. And for Eric.....

Nor liberals.

So you cannot claim he is a billionaire, millionaire or hundrethousander unless you've seen his returns , correct??

But his not and never will be President, never.

But he is more qualified, and who knows what he might become!!

3 ( +3 / -0 )

Donny’s such a great business person that he is far less wealthy today because he tried to be a businessperson. He would have far more money if he had just held all the land he inherited instead of trying to be a businessperson.

These are facts that certain posters here deny, along with any other facts that put Donny in a bad light or a lib in a good light. These posters constantly engage in the conversations in bad faith. Smh. Good lord!

Only a completely moronic imbecile would claim that rhetorical questions are worse than fake news.

6 critical states

Yeah, all the states, except for nutty California and New York ( thanks, NYC ) that are a lost cause this year, are going to be critical for the Democrats this year. Trump will keep all the states he won in 2016 and almost certainly win some Blue states like Minnesota, Nevada and Virginia.

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

Bloomberg money will give Biden a major ( boost )

It'll be wasted. Biden cannot beat Trump like a drum or anything else.

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

Bloomberg is in cahoots with Hillary Clinton to deny Sanders the nomination by way of a brokered convention. With Bloomberg's help, she will get the nomination on the second ballot.

The fight at the Democrat Convention is going to be mighty interesting.....and nasty with explosive results.

-4 ( +0 / -4 )

Debatable what his children have or have not done,

No, it’s in the record. Besides, DTJ was investigated thoroughly by the FBI, nothing. Darn it! Believe me, people can insult them all they want. These kids went to the best schools. Even the media can’t take that away, so the only thing they can do is call out rude names. Funny. Lol

.So you cannot claim he is a billionaire, millionaire or hundrethousander unless you've seen his returns , correct??

He’s not poor, but unless you can show me poor people that have planes, helicopters, properties all over the world like he has, I’ll bite my tongue. Go ahead, take your time.

But his not and never will be President, never.

But he is more qualified,

But he’s not and never will be President so hypotheticals don’t matter, stay with me now....

Trying? Lol yeah....sure...

These are facts that certain posters here deny, along with any other facts that put Donny in a bad light or a lib in a good light.

No one is denying anything. Not one of you liberals can show me a poor person that can arise....oh, yeah, most of these liberal contenders ran out of money and now Biden needs money from Bloomberg to take on Trump. So in other words, the Dems need to partner up with a former Republican to beg for his financial assistance to take on another Republican that has more money than them.

Hilarious.

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

No, it’s in the record. 

Sure Don Jr's rantings are on record, Ivanka humiliations are on record and for Eric , who cares...

These kids went to the best schools.

I thought you didn't believe in education, specially the good schools. According to you 'they turned out liberals'

So either this bunch didn't go to good schools or they are liberals, which is it?

He’s not poor, but unless you can show me poor people that have planes, helicopters, properties all over the world like he has

Do you know the ownerships details of all these assets, how they are funded? Bernie Madoff had all of these...

I’ll bite my tongue.

If you don't I suggest thats the better option .

But he’s not and never will be President so hypotheticals don’t matter, stay with me now...

But he had a longer running , more profitable show than Donny, he might be richer than Donny, he lies less than Donny....
