Fred Trump was a student of Dale Carnegie. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/01/can-you-spot-a-liar/423588/ Worth a read. Last line. "I think it’s funny that one of the books that’s considered the con-artist bible is Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, which was meant as a book of business advice. Which I think is quite funny."
taking the moral high ground is something the left likes to use... social justice, income equality, gender equality, bathroom equality, renewable green energy... everything sounds so nice... yet everything is rotten in the core if you dig just under the surface. business is business... no need to get into the grey area... liar or tactical negotiator? you worked for these deca-billionaires right? I am sure you can put both labels on a lot of their dealings.
Nothing to do with high ground when dealing with a con artist. Trump University for god's sake man. This is pure Gipsy con stuff with the trade figures. Arrive at an old person's house, climb on the roof and start pulling down tiles. Scare them into thinking their roof is leaking and you a knight-in-shining-armor stopped to help (seeing these dangerous tiles that could kill their grand-kids when passing). Charge them 20k for the repairs. That is a form of "business" alright.
exaggeration. Trump's baseline is reciprocity. And the US is the one losing $800b in tiles right now.
you conveniently left out the 2nd portion - everything the left stands for is rotten to the core, disguised with a position from the moral high ground, for no purpose other than getting votes and steal federal dollars.. Run everything the left pushes, one by one, thru the statement above, you will see everything makes sense.
rump Contractors: ‘It Was the Beginning of the End for Us’ Thu, Jun 09 A new analysis of Donald Trump’s business dealings reveals at least 60 lawsuits from people who say that Trump and his businesses cheated them out of payments. https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-new...-the-beginning-of-the-end-for-us-702575171860 Trump learned that spuriously citing 'quality issues' worked well in court and he ran with it. He has more court activity than the many of the other US property developers (far richer) put together. 800 billion in goods balanced with services makes what? You are being scammed but too invested to admit it like most fraud victims.
Does Family Values sound familiar? Or how about Moral Majority? Evangelicals showed themselves to be the hypocrites they are voting for the three times married, at least three times wife cheat, foul mouthed, morally (and fiscally come to think of it) bankrupt con-man man-child.
