Compromised ability to lead?

You might think the President is bound by some ethics rules, but no, just like a king he is free to put himself ahead of his subjects.

So fiduciary duty to his shareholders trumps his duty to his citizens?

Who's being foolish? Those voting for that felon, hillary, or those voting for Trump?

That's for America to decide.

At least The Donald has not done anything provably wrong.

Prove that! Investigate him with the same microscope used on Hillary.

It doesn't take a microscope to see Hillary's problems.

surly there is some person reading this who understands why?

Reports that he is going to sue the New York Times, Donald Trump threatens to sue New York Times over 'irresponsible intent' shortly after this story was published.

He's also said the New York explosion was the work of terrorists, before there was any official news.

Bombs are not the act of a Terrorist?




Now Clyde let's not be hasty here, I personally thought I
heard a story out last night blaming it all on a chapter
of the "Raging Grannies" protesting that tampon tax.

Bombs are not the act of a Terrorist? In what Universe?

WK...

If a person plants a bomb to advance a Religious, Secular or Personal Agenda. Why isn't it Terrorism?

Perhaps this is another demonstration of your reading something that was not written. WK wrote "explosion", you replied "bomb". Drumpf also said 'bomb' when all that was known at the time was 'explosion'. Not all explosions are the results of bombs. There have been several explosions in NYC over the past 16 years, not all of them have been the result of bombs.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Hi bobby...

Most people understand that Bomb and Explosion are used interchangeably.

BTW 1: WK (with whom I have great respect - despite our disagreements) can respond. Doesn't need your help.

BTW 2: Understand the real meaning behind BTW 1?

Your estimation of "most people" may differ from others, the two words do not mean the same thing, for instance, there was no 'bomb' when the transformer station on 14th Street exploded during Sandy (which happens around the 3 min mark of this), nor when it exploded in 2002. Rushing to judge the cause of an explosion, might not be a characteristic some people want in their President.

BTW 1, who, other than you is suggesting WK needs my help?

BTW 2, no I don't understand, please clarify what this "real meaning" is.

Indeed, explosions occur for many reasons other than bombs. I personally would prefer a president that does not rush to judgment and can choose words better.

As to the BTWs: Bobby, Clyde is saying he doesn't respect your contributions here. I wish he did.
Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

@ bobby

The difference between a bomb and something that explodes is mainly a matter of intent. I have seen transformers explode with enough force to blow out the side of the building in which they were in. The scene *looked* like a bomb had gone off.

As to Trump calling it a 'bomb' or 'Terrorism' before it was officially announced as such, well...

Trump is a prominent businessman and owner of a number of high-profile commercial properties in the NYC area. It seems quite reasonable that he would be informed about it before the announcement to the general public was made.

Also, Trump is a candidate (spit) for President of the United States. It is also quite within the realm of possibility that he was notified about things in advance of the general public for this reason also.


I am not sure of the various timings between the announcement by NYC Mayor de Blasio that the explosion was 'intentional' (therefore it was a bomb and in the circumstances in which it went off, injuring people and terrifying them, terrorism) and Trump's statement(s). I saw video of Mayor de Blasio announcing it was intentional when (judging by his surroundings in the video) it was still nighttime the night the blast happened.

@ clyde

A bomb would not be an act of terrorism if, for instance, a number of them were used to demolish a building so that new construction could take place.

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Trump, the Republican nominee, was set to take the stage in Colorado Springs just as unconfirmed reports of an explosion in downtown Manhattan started spreading over Twitter.

After waiting on his plane for about 13 minutes, he took the stage and reported what no news outlets or law enforcement had yet: that a "bomb" went off in New York City.

"Just before I got off the plane, a bomb went off in New York, and nobody knows exactly what's going on, but boy, we are living in a time," Trump said. Exactly how Trump learned of the incident is yet to be determined.

(source)

Do you think it credible that within 30 minutes of the explosion, Drumpf would have been briefed about a bomb in NYC?
