Outrageous


Donald Trump is outrageous. He is braggadocios, He is vain. He lies. He is pugnacious, He is puerile. He is vulgar. He is a super patriot. He loves the trappings of wealth and fortunately is wealthy. He is a bully. He is too loud. He tweets too much. He has a too-beautiful wife ... actually has had three of them ... and lots of too-beautiful children.  And he is successful in most everything he does ... even running for and becoming President of e United States ... ugh!

So how do his enemies react to this outrageous man? Of course, by being outrageous and coming unglued. The Lefties in this  country are tying themselves in knots resisting this outrageous man. After all, outrage is the exclusive bailiwick of liberals and President Trump is an interloper. Chelsea "Potty Mouth" Handler, Code Pink, Congress's Women in White, Act Up, Michael "the Hut" Moore, the George Soros goons, the unruly Dems in the Wisconsin legislature, The View, Berkeley students, Mika "I'm sorry, but" Brzezinski ... and too many more on the hard Left are outraged at this outrage of a president. A century of sleep is lost among these resisters ... thinking up their next stunts or slurs that will make the next day's news ... to display the depth of their outrage.

This is all very humorous ... and outrageous.

I think you miss the point. Not only is he outrageous. He is dangerous. He is a liar and he keeps the country in turmoil. He is not a leader and you are a foolish follower. Wait until he takes away your rights. Then you will be with nothing left.

You're being outrageous ...

He could be a good leader (even as a business leader) if he would do few things:
- Stop insulting people and groups. Ignore them if you must but do not vilify them.
- Stop getting hung up on petty stuff esp. as relates to the election.
- Stop tweeting. Altogether.
- Realize that words matter. Think. Then talk/type.
- Stop lamenting security when you can get into Mar-a-Lago with just your name to observe the POTUS doing business
- Put Bannon in a cage. His personal character is lamentable, his appearance shoddy, and he as that Cheney smirk of being the man behind the curtain. Nobody elected him.
- Tell Conway to get lost. Tell her she was being monitored through her crockpot.

THEN be as outrageous as you certainly still can and will...

He might heed your advice after you have made your first billion ...

ChillFin said...

Then I'll let Warren Buffett say the same thing. In comparison, Trump is a small-time player.

ChillFin said...

I see. So there are only about 400 people in the world who can give him advice. Is Bannon a billionaire? For that mater, does Trump have a billion dollars in net worth or just several billion in debt.... with strong cash flow and a negative net worth?

George W. Potts said...

I think the required financial reporting put his net worth (mostly illiquid) in excess of $6B? Bannon is not telling him to stop tweeting and letting the MSM define him ...

ChillFin said...

What was that "required financial reporting"?

George W. Potts said...

Yet, Warren Buffett favored Hillary Clinton for president. Just goes to show that he was not infallible ... (He also invested in NEXT.)

Fascinating. Surprised that i had not seen this before. Wow, to divest totally would be a huge task!!

Data: Income, yes. Taxes, depreciation, amortization, no. Asset value, fuzzy but stated. Debt, five creditors stated as simply "over $50 million". So, worth, not clear at all.

George W. Potts said...

He said $10B, NYT said $1.2B. Forbes said $5-6B ... so that's the number I chose.

ChillFin said...

The Forbes 400 billionaires for 2016 does not include Trump. #400 is at US$ 1.7B

George W. Potts said...

My memory was a little off ... see: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferwang/2016/09/28/the-definitive-look-at-donald-trumps-wealth-new/#137c04de47a5

ChillFin said...

Ah yes! Net worth averaging! But the article is entitled "Donald Trump's Fortune Falls $800 Million To $3.7 Billion" and wraps up with "Total Net Worth: $3,700,000,000". So that number seems to 'trump' $5-6B.

George W. Potts said...

And < $1.7B ...

ChillFin said...

Strange that Forbes did not give him a slot in the top 400 when it ran that article within months of the other. Still these are just alternative facts so just choose whatever fits your narrative you.

BTW the leaked 2005 tax return seems like a plant to me, esp. since the WH and the "real" media seemed to buy in so readily. There are flaws in it... For example, if he is so damn rich why couldn't his cash flow cover the AMT without having to request an extension? And did he then pay it? It deflects from the so-called "wire tapping" and microwave ovens that have an agenda.
