8. Does Trump really have business associates?

His industry is more about competition than it is about alliances and cooperation.

His "deals" and "negotiations" have almost entirely been with municipal agencies and other circumstances where he is forming alliances.

I don't think Trump has business associates because he CONQUERED THEM ALL. /s

Consultants all the time. Let's not help him pretend he has no footprint or paper trail.

6. The OP is bullshit on several levels

First, this joint appearance of First Ladies at the W library dedication has nothing to do with the campaign.

Second, I don't understand the designation "peers" you have applied to a group of people who, aside from Hillary, have never held an elected or appointed position of any kind.

Third, neither of the Bushes has indicated support for Hillary.

Your OP is misleading and dishonest, and I don't know why.

Would you care to explain?

(even the Washington times reported this):

and an allegation Reagan did not support trump either, though it is apocryphal.

and they are, indeed, her peers because she was a first lady as well as being an office holder and white house appointee, plus they are equal in stature.

12. I am not "being snarky", I am calling out bullshit

The OP is intended to give a misleading impression about the photograph in question, and to falsely state that the Bushes "support" Hillary, as if the photograph were some kind of joint appearance to that effect.

None of your links shows otherwise. Duh, the Bushes don't like Trump because he dumped on Jeb. Big deal. That has much more to do with Jeb than with Hillary.

Trump is an utter shambles. There is no reason to be dishonest in order to defeat him.

lying, cheating, breaking promises, etc. But you can totally trust him to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it somehow.
