Much like those Black preachers, they realized too late that they had been used and then disposed of with nothing to show for it.

Khalaf Al Habtoor and Trump must be mired in negotiations over land or a building project.

This illustrates why foreigners should stay out of our politics. Now, I wish someone would draw a line, which I can follow, around the legal boundaries between this guy and Trumph. Somebody may need to be in jail.

But he had no problems with Trump when he called Mexicans rapists? But now he does? Hypocrisy.

The billionaire was fine when Trump was just bashing Mexicans?

First they banned the Mexicans, but I was not Mexican and said nothing.

Apparently, that’s a big “Yes Sir.”

Just like the BaggerPols who are gay-bashing…until it is revealed that one of their own children are gay,

F-you a-hole. You’re just another opportunist with a money clip where your heart should be. For a JFK SoG grad interested in mid-east peace issues, it defies logic that you would ever support Trump except to further your own financial interests. It must be pretty shocking to realize that in Trump’s eyes even a billionaire like you is just another brown skinned rapist or terrorist.

As if his being a bigot were the only reason not to support Trump. “He wants to make America great again” is enough of a platform? I can understand how stupid people can become millionaires, but how do people this stupid become billionaires?

Trump: Al Habtoor is a bigot. He would have supported me if he was a Christian.

Maybe, but I’m not looking this gift horse in the mouth.

I may be picking nits, but did he recant his support, or just express regrets?

He’s for a hate filled demagogue until the guy threatens people like himself. This guy would fit in swimmingly in the Republican party.

If he truly regrets backing Trump, the best revenge would be to very publicly restate support, saying that Trump has reassured you that he is a gray friend of Muslims and that Trump assures you that the proposed ban is just to fool the stupid voters.

Under Trump, this guy wouldn’t have even been able to enter the US to close his multi-million dollar deals, unless he gets in thru the “friends of Trump” program.

FFS, are there any articles on the front page that AREN’T about Trump? Yes, I like to see what he’s up to once in a while, but surely there are other important topics not involving his latest assholery.

I hate people like this guy. Oh, he was juuust fine with Trump questioning the president’s birthplace and legitimacy. His comment about Trump being a “true patriot” probably included a wink and a nudge and a rolled eyes at the president. He was perfectly cool with Trump repeatedly insinuating the president is a secret Muslim and that being a Muslim is a bad thing. He had no problem with Trumps various racial attacks on Latinos and black folks. But now that Trump is directly demonizing him and all foreign born Muslims then suddenly he has a problem.

Screw you. You’re as much a part of the problem as the white supremacists attending Trump’s Klan rallies.
