Donald Trump's Jet, a Regular on the Campaign Trail, Isn't Registered to Fly

LOL

This must be a mistake, he has smart people working for him that take care of this stuff.

Then he needs to fire himself.

The price of flying privately does not come cheap. The Trump campaign has paid a company that Mr. Trump owns more than $3 million for campaign-related travel since he announced his candidacy.

The price to register an aircraft, however, does come cheap: It costs only $5, and the registration is valid for three years.

My bad memory says that a few of his delegates were cheapskates as well and refused to pay a modest filing-fee. If it's not other people's money, nothing doing. If you can't get a tax write-off on your own company, then what's a shaky business/political scam GOOD for, hey?

Now the sober part. Were his mechanics as sloppy in keeping records on parts-wear?

Trump said he would impose harsh taxes on U.S. companies who take their business abroad. That is a very liberal viewpoint. So is his desire to be "neutral" in the Israel-palestinians conflict.

Depends what day of the week it is.  Or is that what hour of the day it is?  Trump is a democrat, he is for it before he was against or is that against before he was for it?

Taking a business overseas is killing it here, making Trump's plan a corporate death tax. Is this much different (other than scale) than what government already does for inheritances, estates and the like? But I seem to recall that the U.S. already has one of the highest corporate tax structures. You can go nowhere but down if you want to compete. Staying at the top of that list, you won't.

Trump won't get a hard leftist bunch like the RINOs and the Donks to go along with the sort of tax cuts which WOULD work and attract fresh industry. It's the same as the 12-year tax abatements at a state level (Michigan) to build and operate a large business. TWELVE YEARS! Imagine federal income if "too many" companies want to come here...to succeed.

The dumb fool can't even keep his plane registered to fly!

QuoteIt's not especially remarkable that House Democrats once summoned fellow liberal Donald Trump to Capitol Hill to testify about the alleged adverse effects of Ronald Reagan's 1986 tax reforms. What is somewhat remarkable is that this clip wasn't dug up by a conservative opposition research team, but rather by Trump's own campaign -- which proceeded to blast it out into the public bloodstream as evidence that "Mr. Trump" is an all-caps EXPERT on economic matters. And what conclusion did his "expertise" produce? I'll let Trump answer that question in his own words. Again, this comes via Trump's social media director, who -- ta da! -- can't vote for his boss today because he's not a Republican:

What's remarkable about this?  SIX YEARS of Reagan tax cuts, the economy turned around, while everyone was celebrating and benefiting from a revived, robust economy - the Democrats trot out... drum roll....  Mr. Negative - Donald Trump.... to deny the obvious..?   

Quotefrom the transcript:
So this tax act was just an absolute catastrophe for the country, for the real estate industry, and I really hope that something can be done — as Congressman Thomas recently said, that something can be done to change at least parts of it, because it has taken all incentive away from investing in real estate, and real estate really means so many jobs...by having cut the high income tax rates to 25 percent, as an example, people don't have the incentive any more to invest. They're saying, "Why should I take a chance on investing in low or moderate-income housing? I might as well just pay the tax." But the fact is, that 25 percent for high-income people — for high-income people — it should be raised substantially with the understanding that if you invest, you can get it down and down substantially below that number...I was asked to come by the Chairman, and I make this plea that, if something isn't done to put the incentive back — I mean, we're no different right now than the Soviet Union. They have no incentive, and we have no incentive. And if something isn't done to quickly put the incentive back, this country is going to be in very deep problems.

sigh...     Trump's claims were dead wrong, the roaring economy lasted through over a dozen more years.   4 out of the 5 candidates want to raise your taxes - guess which one is most like Reagan and wants to cut taxes? 

Support for Ethanol subsidies, while not a lefty position exclusively, certainly not a conservative position.

Good catch, and yes, it's a pure leftist position. The fact that RINO back it is proof of that.

He should know......

The sad thing about all of this is his followers will ignore this information. Now as discussed in another thread the Trump campaign what he has been saying and how has said is a sham. Do these followers not see they have been snookered?

Driving down the road, sometimes.... this kinda stuff just hangs with ya, "What is it about these Trumpettes, that they would trade liberaty, and freedom for "getting" the GOPe?"  Then it occurred to me, Trump supprters are literally ONE ISSUE voters.

For a moment, mentally run through the REAL things that make America the greatest country in the world, and ask yourself, to which candidate holds those positions.  Clearly, it is Ted Cruz.  Ted thinks like a constutional conservative, talks like one, and has a convincing track record as a solid conservative.

Now ask yourself, "Of the socialism, populism, communism, liberalism positions, who holds those positions?  Let's say EMBRACES those positions?"  Even if we threw out decades of supporting the most liberal positions, and started with the last 6 months - Donald Trump is still the standardbearer for Liberal causes.

Are Trump supporters ignorant of these problem areas?   
NOPE.  They still like Donald Trump.

With Donald Trump switching positions, from conservative to liberal, are supporters abandoning him in droves?
NOPE.  They still hang on, fanatically.    it's something else, some emotional attachment.

What is the common theme among democrats, liberals and conservative (so called), who are ardant Trump supporters... they feel left out, disenfranchised, stepped on, abused by the Dem & Rep - they want someone who will Stand Up for them and take the fight to these elitists.  Listen to Trump's speeches, it's all about "getting even" with somebody.  Call it the "get even" party platform. 

Trump supporters don't care WHAT position Donald takes, just so long as he takes the fight to the "bad guy" ... who today is actually someone just like himself, rich, aloof, uncaring about women, etc., and tomorrow could quickly become those who like the 1st, 2nd, etc., amendments - you and I.

This is LIBERALISM on parade, their tactics, their liberal policies, their socialism...

These Trump supporters would rather burn down the house, than call the pest control and weed out the vermin.  So long as they follow him, he's ok with that.

The Get EVEN Party.
