But hey, trump fleeced them Chinese dudes.
Trump branded building built with someone else’s money. That’s Donnie’s business method. And he takes the credit for everything.

If you ever wondered how tRump would get Mexico to pay for his bullshit wall, it seems he’ll be doing it by using this awful EB-5 visa program, enabling rich Mexican investors to take up residency here for two years provided they all give tRump $500,000.00 each. That’s if I’m understanding this kind of crap correctly. So only extremely rich Mexicans or any other kind of rich immigrant need apply. Hey, if he can get away with it using rich Chinese, why wouldn’t he use this stupid visa program using rich Mexicans.

Note for the initial media “publicity release”, none of this was mentioned.
Many hotels and apartments buildings here in NYC are being done in similar arrangements, lots of Chinese money backing them.
Once again, Trump being exposed as a clown who just says stuff to push buttons, but can be immediately called on ANY of it when he has to get in depth.
Another reason I hope I am wrong about him not getting the nomination. I do hope he does get it, he will get even more exposed in the general election.

Trump: This is more proof that I can get Mexico to pay for the wall. You can see how I control Chinese investors.

I was just about to post something similar. One of the major papers, I forget which one, just posted a story about Trumps ties to a mobster. I guess the media is bored with their most recent darling and is ready to cast him aside for a newer model. Of course, the stuff that is going to start to come out about him will not deter his followers. Trump was right when he said he could commit murder in the middle of Times Square and his supporters would still vote for him because he says what he thinks or some other nonsense I don’t get.

The good news: opo research from the anti-Drumpf PAC has promised a story a day like this.
The bad news: the number of Drumpf stories at TPM will be increasing by .05 parts per billion.

I’m really torn by these kinds of stories. On the positive side of the ledger, it contributes to ever-greater fratricide within the GOP, at least in the short term.
But on the negative, it increases the liklihood, however slight right now, that Cruz will end up getting the nomination. While I have nothing but contempt for Trump, I really, really, really despise Cruz.

Then it will be all the sweeter to kick his tushy in November, should it come to that.

So each investor will fund between a quarter and half a mile of wall (in the easy to build areas)? Going to take a LOT of investors…
I hear you. It’s a double edged sword. I do think there are many people who can look past Trump but Cruz doesn’t have any appeal except to real crazy conservatives. Trump people just like his style of ass kicking. The more educated and strict conservatives support Cruz, whereas the infamous "poorly educated"prefer Trump. I believe we will beat either of them

BSD and chammy…
I totally agree with both of you. About Cruz.and Trump.
I just believe that the Mass-Culture-Masses can be attracted to Trump…and there are A LOT OF THOSE. In addition, Trump can command unthinking belief better than any political figure (in the U.S,) that I have ever seen.
Cruz is evil…just with less of the stoopid-crossover that Trump has at his disposal. And I also am reasonably certain that Hillary vs Cruz would be what Dems would rather have.
Interesting story in the NYT how Trump was considering a path to the presidency by way of he NYK governorship
I am shocked, SHOCKED I tells ya!

This is what the Trumpies don’t get. Trump isn’t a builder. He is a seller of his name. That is all.
He gets money to put that GOLD TRUMP sign on a building. He is a brander not a builder.
