Any bookies setting odds for that? They are cannibals, you know that! If it did happen, I think he still only gets one question - could be a real quick press conference!

No maxie, very well known. An analysis by USA Today published in June 2016 found that over the previous three decades, United States president Donald Trump and his businesses have been involved in 3,500 legal cases in U.S. federal courts and state court, an unprecedented number for a U.S. presidential candidate.[1] Of the 3,500 suits, Trump or one of his companies were plaintiffs in 1,900; defendants in 1,450; and bankruptcy, third party, or other in 150.[1] Trump was named in at least 169 suits in federal court.[2] Over 150 other cases were in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida(covering Broward County, Florida) since 1983.[3] In about 500 cases, judges dismissed plaintiffs' claims against Trump. In hundreds more, cases ended with the available public record unclear about the resolution.[1] Where there was a clear resolution, Trump won 451 times, and lost 38.[4] The topics of the legal cases include contract disputes, defamation claims, and allegations of sexual harassment. Trump's companies have been involved in more than 100 tax disputes, and on "at least three dozen" occasions the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has obtained tax liens against Trump properties for nonpayment of taxes.[1] On a number of occasions, Trump has threatened legal action but did not ultimately follow through.[5] Of Trump's involvement in the lawsuits, his lawyer Alan Garten said in 2015 that this was "a natural part of doing business in [the United States]",[5][6] and in the real estate industry, litigation to enforce contracts and resolve business disputes is indeed common.[5] Trump has, however, been involved in far more litigation than fellow real-estate magnates; the USA Today analysis in 2016 found that Trump had been involved in legal disputes more than Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Donald Bren, Stephen M. Ross, Sam Zell, and Larry Silverstein combined.[1] The Trump lawsuits[5][6] have attracted criticism from Trump's opponents, who say that this is not a trait that conservatives should support.[5]James Copland, director of legal policy at the conservative-leaning Manhattan Institute, states that "Trump clearly has an affinity for filing lawsuits, partly because he owns a lot of businesses" and has sometimes used litigation as a "bullying tactic".[5] Although Trump has said that he "never" settles legal claims, Trump and his businesses have settled with plaintiffs in at least 100 cases (mostly involving personal injury claims arising from injuries at Trump properties), with settlements ranging as high as hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars[1] and recently as high as tens of millions of dollars.[7] Among the most well-known Trump legal cases was the Trump University litigation. Three legal actions were brought alleging fraud, one by the New York State Attorney General and the others by class action plaintiffs.[8] In November 2016, Trump agreed to pay $25 million to settle the litigation.[7] |

At least Rick Scott won Florida despite despite the Bloward County shenanigans.
Mitt Romney would have been a much bigger pain in the ass had Republicans not held this seat.

disgraceful donny lost 37 seats in the house - a big blow to his inflated ego. I love his quote" i can't win if i'm not the name on the ballot. the chaos at the whitehouse continues with more staff about to be sacked - has any other president had such a turnstile at the whitehouse? Kelly about to leave. Who will control the knucklehead when he goes? |

Not to mention him saying that winning candidates should thank him for campaigning for them, they would not have won without that. Such a gracious, humble man

Since this is the Trump thread,I’m assuming that includes the USA? I’d suggest,if they were banning certain nations from entry,I’d include Saudi A,where 80% of the 9/11 terrorists were from. I’d then go further and insist that the good old prince be charged in connection with the murder in the Embassy. There’s so much more to do,but that’s the start. |

Oh well, I am waiting for many answers. For instance why did you say the gas canisters exploded ? Why did you say Sisto opened Pellegrini's and struggled, when he actually bought a thriving business in 1972 ? We don't always get answers

Agree in distaste for Saudi .
My Son In IT and his wife RN , worked in Saudi for 10 years . That was always a worry to me . They came home when a close friend was shot dead on a roadway , for being a westerner. |

Wish you would get it inside your head Macca that my dislike for trump has nothing to do with the average American , most countries have their share of bad apples but overall the yanks are imo great people , do you think you can take that in instead of using "hate all yanks"? thank you.

I told you twice already. Why do we drop bombs on Middle East countries and take part in invasions? Energy politics and geo-politics. IS has clearly stated many times( those with fingers in their ears refuse to listen), that our involvement in the ME is a security risk for us. Mahathir reminded us on Saturday and was howled down here. Gee who could imagine people would get narky just because we drop our freedom bombs on them. We are doing them a favour. Oil has half a century life left according to Saudi's and they are reforming their economy to not be so reliant on fossil fuels. When there is no oil, what will be our reason to be involved in American wars in the ME? Unfortunately gas wars are about to start with the US angling for control of Iran/Qatar's Gulf oil fields and they want to cut out Turkey Iran and Russia, so until we become reliant on renewable energy and while we still buy into US energy wars, we will continue to be a target from extremists. Interesting the 3 guys arrested in Melbourne this morning were Australian born of Turkish parents. That will be the new flashpoint unless something is sorted out soon. Congress is aware and will push back against Trump/Jared/MBS/Netanyahu.

I don't recall your posts Croca . Trump is a come and Go like all POTUS. He at least stands up to the oppositions. When I'm thinking "yank haters " I'm referring to the many years of bad mouthing from people who exist today as a result of the USA , making that possible. We are very dependent on them today, as always and don't have the right to bite the hand that protects us. They don't bag us. Australians try to run the world , but are quick to cry foul if other Countries try to tell us anything . Like Indonesia last week and the embassy , They are wrong IMHO but so is Australia on their outbursts about Indonesia executing drug runners. Is there a difference . |

There were 2 explosions Whale. I believe our friends account. The 2nd explosion was the big one. I assume the first noise was the igniting moment. Thats how close our friend was to the moment. Regarding Sisto, when he first arrived, for many years, he and many Italians were met with great racism and adversity. It took many years for them to actually get going with projects, and there were even protests against people like Sisto. Racism was well and truly alive. Okay, as I was courteous to answer your question, your turn. How do you feel Islamic Terrorists should be stopped? |

No mate my comments on trump are few, my concern was that you would think I'm a yank hater, which is not right even though my concern was very small .

. I'm aware most were not around when we were going through WW2. People aren't interested in the history of it . ? To our peril , maybe . Many of us have sad memories. I know even mentioning it attracts the geriatric accusation. As if that's a crime but we must be prepared ... We are in a volatile world . |

do you think trump is making the world less volatile or more volatile? Marble. --------------------- He is standing his ground and being better prepared for conflict should it arrive. Unlike previous times . I see him as ideal in our present world . |
