Trump
Donald Trump threw his combover into the presidential ring this week. Kevin Williamson of National Review didn’t seem impressed. He called him a “witless ape” and an “ass”:
…grunting like a baboon about our country’s “brand” and his own vast wealth…
Trump did point to his wealth as a qualification. Williamson pointed to Trump’s bankruptcies:
The Trump conglomerate is the Argentina of limited-liability companies, having been in bankruptcy as recently as 2009. To be sure, a lot of companies went bankrupt around then. The Trump gang went bankrupt in 2004, too, and in 2001.
Then Williamson brought up another rich guy who financed his own campaign and caused a Bush to lose to a Clinton:
We’ve been to this corner of Crazytown before. If we’re going to have a billionaire dope running for the presidency, I prefer Ross Perot and his cracked tales of Vietnamese hit squads dispatched to take him out while Lee Atwater plotted to crash his daughter’s wedding with phonied-up lesbian sex pictures.
Stephanopoulos Cash
Last month ABC’s George Stephanopoulos grilled Peter Schweizer, the author of Clinton Cash.The book details a possible conflict of interest between Bill, Hillary, and the Clinton Foundation. I haven’t read it, but reports say the foundation comes off like a personal slush fund for the Clintons. In his interview with Schweizer, Stephanopoulos insisted there was no “smoking gun” of evidence against the Clintons. He also made a point of of Schweizer’s “partisan interests” since he had been a speech writer for W. Bush. He made no mention of his own role in the Clinton administration. Yesterday it was revealed that Stephanopoulos has given $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Bill has Bills to Pay
I don’t know how the Clintons get by. They were dead broke when they left the White House. Bill says he has no choice but keep taking half million dollar speaking gigs to pay the bills.
When Hillary was Secretary of State the Russians bought 20% of the US uranium supply. Investors in the company involved gave millions to the Clinton Foundation and hired Bill for one of those $500,000 speeches. If she becomes president maybe they can buy the other 80%.
That’s a reset.
Clinton Talk not Cheap
Actually, for Hillary Clinton talk is cheap compared to Bill. The Washington Post found he earned over $100 million in speaking fees between 2001 and 2013. $26 million of that came from companies that contribute to the Clinton Foundation.
Could Bill really be vice president? Fact Check calls it a “constitutional conundrum”.
Hillary Quits Shaky Foundation
Candidate Hillary announced her resignation from the board of the Clinton Foundation yesterday, leaving Bill and Chelsea holding the bag.
