Donald Trump Maybe Thinks People Voted for Him Specifically Because He Went Bankrupt Six Times!

Rona Barrett: If you lost your fortune today, what would you do tomorrow?

Donald Trump: Maybe I’d run for president.

Rona Barrett: You mean you think you have to be bankrupt, with not a dime in your pocket in order to be a good president?

Donald Trump: A lot of people would vote for you if you were in that position because they feel sorry for you.

Its worse. Trump knows it was clever to go bankrupt six times, for him in the private sector. Thats how the law works. But hes applying the same "logic" to him actions in government, which will have vastly different consequences for the nation. The world will foreclosure on the farm....And the new owners wont treat you peasants well.. But he doesnt care..😷

Just as he thought it clever to cheat employees. I don't know why the Clinton campaign in 2016 didn't stress that with blue-collar workers.

@beckyromero And he will cheat all voters just like his employees and suppliers who he threw under a bus. He has no reason not to. His father showed him the way..😷
