Why is his base up in arms about the Trump's business practices?
I have not read anything about Ivanka moving her business back to the US from China.
Haven't read anything about the Trump boys investing in US businesses.
Haven't read anything about Trump business's hiring only Americans for a their places of employment.
He does not employ Americans for jobs, why should other businesses?

I think we need to put pressure on the Trump's to put their money back in the US.
Are they only 'great' at hiring lawyers?

4. And who's paying? How much of this lawyering in DC/NYC is being paid for by the poor taxpayers?

It's just a wonderful game, a lark in the park (sorry lark).

Lawyers have huge habits and mortgages to fulfill, why not cascade the lawyers onto each others. Imagine the compounding of fees!

Of course, the only self-professed lawyers that will be part of this game are probably cons, just like the client.

Taxpayers - grab your wallets!

Jeezabel - I really wanted to get it all on the title line. DU is even more stingy than the prez's preferred twits!

Given the drump's family's inclination to screw everyone in sight, I would expect not a lot of the orange-turd's personal funds to go into anything. Watch how he stiffs his LLDeagles and how they sue the US to get paid.

Still I think the total incompetence of most of the leadership in DC (executive branch: 100%, congress: 80%, SCOTUS:???) I could say pretty emphatically that the taxpayers are pissing their money into the wind, and the most likely recipients are lawyers and lobbyings.

11. Call me when Trump creates a job that pays less than $400 an hour.

The only jobs he's created are for the highest paying attorneys in the land. And all his staff will end up bankrupt when this is finally over.
