I assume you are talking about Trump, but I fail to see where the issue is and how it impacts the issues at hand. I am guessing that taking 12 million dollars from Morocco would be something more palatable? A bigger scale?
Now, yourself: you are a trader. What would you say of a trader who claimed to be a DECA-billionnaire, and then offers you a trading course at 100/200$? what would you say of the people buying this course on the basis that because he is a DECA-billionnaire, his course is the best course? what would you say if these people did not even question this trader selling 100/200$ course if the trader is actually a DECA-billionnaire? I'd say, or the trader is lying, or the trader is a crook, or the trader is selling to complete idiots.
I fail to see any connection to what is being purported here to the election and issues at hand. Are you saying if there were a lie about wealth that that would be worse than lying to the FBI, to the American People and to Congress?
Something like this analysis is the only thing that makes sense. For Donald Trump, defeat might be the ultimate prize By John McTernan Updated 9:20 AM ET, Tue October 25, 2016 Source: CNN Story highlights McTernan: Trump has repeatedly raised the issue of the election being rigged because he wants to keep his supporters angry Trump supporters won't turn on him and blame him for an election defeat -- they will angrily double down John McTernan is a former speechwriter for ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair and ex-communications director to former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his. (CNN)Why would the man who rode a tide of populism to a shocking victory over the Republican establishment throw it all away? Why did he tweet in the middle of the night? Why does he not have a ground campaign? Why hasn't he neutralized his negatives? (He and his campaign certainly know they exist). Why, above all other questions, has he not run a professional campaign? Surely the prize is worth the discipline? For a while now, some see the answer as straightforward: Donald Trump privately wants to lose. He's like the man in a bar lunging for someone, safe in the knowledge that he will be held back by his friends. Victory, according to this analysis, would be Trump's worst nightmare. The presidency is not simply a job for which he is unfit, it is a job he does not want to do. Perhaps. But what if defeat is actually victory? Remember, the logic of populism is a topsy-turvy one. The best analogy for Trump is found in Scotland. The Scottish National Party (SNP) have only one raison d'être: independence for Scotland. All else is subordinated to that goal. Even defeat. So, the independence referendum, which was lost two years ago 55%-45% -- a decisive 10-point margin -- has gone from something which was a "once-in-a-lifetime" or "once-in-a-generation" event to something which can be repeated as often as Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP's leader, wishes -- until she gets the result she wants. Richard Branson: Trump would be dangerous president 00:26 What binds the 45% together is a sense of grievance. And this is the clue to Trump's future. Trump has repeatedly raised the issue of the election being "rigged," not because he believes this to be true, but because he wants to keep his supporters angry. Populism is, at base, "us versus them" politics, so Trump needs his voters to think not just that "we were robbed," but "WE were robbed by THEM." Scarily for the Republican establishment, that includes them as well as the mainstream media, the Democrats, President Obama and the probably soon-to-be-President Hillary Clinton. Trump's most profound insight has been that the authority conferred by celebrity in modern American culture -- which is mainly exploited for commercial gain -- can be transferred directly to politics. The fluency of the docu-soap star -- learned on "The Apprentice" -- has been easily transferred to the stump. In the next act of his political career, Trump will show that the narrative of the soap opera applies to political life -- or more precisely his political life. Few characters in soaps ever crash and burn -- there is a relentless reinvention and recycling. Obama reads mean tweet from Trump 01:09 Politicians beaten as decisively as it is anticipated that Trump will be normally leave the field humiliated. But "The Donald" will not retire -- his roughly 40% of the popular vote will be as carefully cultivated by him as those who voted for Scottish independence have been by Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP.... http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/25/opinions/trump-defeat-victory-mcternan-opinion/index.html
Trump Brags of Endorsements That Never Happened 1 / 23 NBC News Amanda Sakuma4 hrs ago © Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump participates in a round-table discussion with farm... Image: Trump participates in a round-table discussion with farmers at a farm market in Boynton Beach Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump frequently touts his support among law enforcement and military figures. On Monday, he told News4Jax that the United States military "conceptually" endorsed him and that "virtually every police department" in the country backed his bid for the presidency. During last week's third debate, Trump said his hardline stance on immigration and pledge to build a border wall had earned him an endorsement from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But none of that is true... http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...nts-that-never-happened/ar-AAjmIRU?li=BBnb7Kz

Until people admit the real problem, they will keep restating the obvious, until one day, it will dawn on them that the problem is the axioms of our economic system itself. All these proposals do is patch the system to keep it alive a little longer. It is not a cure, it is a temporary solution, kicking the problem down the road. Growth prospects grim under either Clinton or Trump, panel says Jeff Cox | @JeffCoxCNBCcom 3 Hours AgoCNBC.com Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump possess plans that would boost economic growth or reduce debt and deficits in a meaningful manner, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget In the near term, Trump's plans would provide the bigger goose for the economy, due to his aggressive tax cuts, but that would be mitigated down the road by a higher debt and deficit load, according to the group's most recent analysis released Monday. As for Clinton, her tax increases would help boost fiscal health, but her spending plans on net would increase the national debt by $200 billion over 10 years. (Clinton repeatedly has said her spending platform is paid for, but virtually all independent analyses find her proposals would result in a slight debt increase.) Trump's plan to repeal Obamacare would stimulate growth by incentivizing work, but overall his tax cuts would add $5.3 trillion to the debt, under numbers the committee arrived at using its own calculations and research by the Tax Policy Center. Trump has pledged that economic growth through lower regulation, decreased energy costs and elimination of the U.S. trade deficit would make the tax cuts revenue-neutral. "A rapid acceleration of growth also leads to a significant reduction of our debt burden relative to GDP, and when Mr. Trump's spending cuts are added the plan achieves full revenue neutrality," Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro and businessman Wilbur Ross wrote in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal.
If true, how does any of this have to do with whether or not electing him is a good idea. I mean Hillary claimed to be under sniper fire while crossing the tarmac on foreign soil. This is meaningless drivel you're talking about, designed to cloud the actual issues. Disgusting--Izzy
The real solution is standing in front of our face. Soon, real soon, the structural barriers in people's brain will begin to break down and reformulate from the ground up through reason.
