Businessman is on business of making his own brand, not even wasting one day! He's gotta hijack the US for his own gain, just like Bush/Chenney deal with the wars - their own family business thriving while the public suffers.
Read the following two news headlines: Look at history facts before you jump on supporting him by name-dropping, labeling, screaming, any of kind of personal attacks (his tools).
1) As Donald Trump makes his bid for the White House, he’s also talked up his new hotel opening this fall on Pennsylvania Avenue in the District of Columbia, bragging that the hotel will open its doors two years ahead of schedule.
2)
Donald Trump on Thursday more emphatically accepted Bernie Sanders challenge to debate him, but it comes with a price tag: $10 million.
Remember W. Bush: "Ha --, Ha - that fuzzy math, it's SO Fxxxxxx hard. "
Here's the Trump version:
"Started in 2014, completed 2 years ahead of schedule in 2016 !" Trump proudly annonced today for the grand openning of his DC Hotel.
....I cannot do that math ! When was it scheduled to open?
That's smart xxx tricks to voters - yeah, he's one of us ! Vote for him.

Donald Trump’s Own Website Contradicts His D.C. Hotel Brag

WASHINGTON — As Donald Trump makes his bid for the White House, he’s also talked up his new hotel opening this fall on Pennsylvania Avenue in the District of Columbia, bragging that the hotel will open its doors two years ahead of schedule.
The accelerated schedule has been picked up by several outlets. It’s standard bravado from the presumptive Republican nominee, meant to add to the mythology that he is a successful executive who can get things done efficiently when his business record actually includes a number of failures.
But Trump’s boasts about his hotel opening ahead of schedule simply aren’t true.
A June 2013 press release posted on the Trump Organization’s website announced that the redevelopment of the old post office was “expected to start in 2014 with the hotel opening scheduled in 2016.” A few months later, the Trump Organization announced the expected grand opening of the hotel would happen at the end of 2015. The Trump Organization said in a third statement in 2013 the hotel had completion was expected in late 2015.
In 2014, the Trump Organization went back to announcing the hotel would open in mid-2016. In February, in the midst of Trump’s presidential campaign, the organization shifted and announced the hotel was planned to open in September, “almost two years ahead of schedule, which is unheard of for a project of this size and complexity,” Ivanka Trump is quoted as saying.
And during a March visit to the site, Donald Trump said, “We’re two years ahead of schedule. We’re going to be opening in September.”
Asked for clarification on the different opening dates, Allie Huddleston, a spokeswoman for the hotel, maintained it is ahead of schedule.
“The hotel is opening more than one year in advance this September,” she said.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.

Trump supporters don't care that he lies. They don't care that he is vulgar, rude and disrespectful. They don't mind his racist statements or that he insults women. There is a very long list of things that you must ignore in order to support Trump and yet, he is apparently running neck and neck with the Dem candidates. Says a lot about Republican voters.
Most eloquent, Eileen, and, sadly, spot on ...

I brought up all these points to a young voter, under the age of 25. Her response? "You don't have to be a nice guy to be President." smh...
·
Alison Wilkie Carnie Don't spend so much time worrying about Trump supporters. Half of them won't be sober enough to remember to vote...

I guess none of the Trump's understand that lying is a bad thing. Like father....like daughter.
The Great White Hope's penchant for straight-up lying is astounding considering his supporters love his "saying it like it is".
It's easy to say it like it is when you are making it up.
Brett Lorenzen Wish I could like that comment several more times.
Brett Lorenzen Perfect ...
Oh, I don't know. "Lying" is an awfully strong word. I'd rather call it uncertainty about the hotel opening. Yes, it is two years early if the expected time to remodel an old post office (Whaat? We don't need post offices any more??) should take five years and here is taking three. Trump has that as a cover story. He always has a cover story for his dubiousness.
What bothers me more is that Trump is spending time opening hotels when he ought to be boning up on international politics, protocols, history, geography, economics, trade, and the like. In case the U.S. voters lose their collective minds and vote this incompetent into the highest office on his very first run for office.
The projected date, even from the start of the project, was never later than September 2016. If it is completed by September 2016 it will have been finished at the latest date ever expected. How is that 2 years early, and stating so not a lie?
·
The dates given since 2013 came from the Trump organization so they lied using their own numbers. He will never study foreign policy. His man Manafort said last night that Trump won't be doing the day to day work of President, he will be the CEO, a figurehead. See, we will have a monarch. He also said that Trump's policies will be worked up by the GOPers in Congress and we know how successful they have been. This whole thing is a world joke. Trump doesn't want the President criticizing him from overseas but it is okay for GOP Congress people and Trump to criticize the Pres from overseas. See a pattern of bullsh-t here?
·
Why should he bother to study such important subjects? One of Trump's chief campzign aides said the braggart intends to be more like chairman of the board of the US than its chief executive.
In other words, he'll pose as President while others do the work. He does not intend to actually do the work the office involves.
·
I suggest that, taking a page from his playbook, we refer to Trump as Donald the Gossip. It fits his lack of respect for truth and willingness to repeat anything that exalts himself or demeans his opponents or detractors.
·
Obama has never released his transcripts from college, Hillary has been caught lying per her email now multiple times, regarding state security and an FBI investigation, and the HuffPo is worried about Donald's hotel claims.
Great focus and journalism.

Gladys Rangaratnam - Do you feel Hillary has been honest in her life?
Do people really not understand what scheduling means?
If a construction contract says that x activity is to start Jan 1, 2014, it isn't going to start two years in advance... nobody would be there to do it, because the schedule says to show up in two years.
Sure, schedules can be adjusted. Tasks can be accelerated, permits can be issued earlier than expected, etc., but if the schedule isn't updated, it won't help.
And we're talking about a hotel here. I've built hotels. I've worked with hotel developers. They need to know THE DAY that construction will be completed, as far in advance as possible. If not, they will either have empty rooms, or guests without a place to stay, both of which are financial liabilities.
If he can't make a schedule more accurate than two years for a relatively simple hotel completion, he's not a very skilled businessperson. But then again, his "fans" aren't bright enough to see this, are they?

WOW! Great investigative reporting Sam Levine ... (insert sarcasm). What's your next assignment? Reporting on how Trump doesn't recycle his paper and plastics correctly?
So, the fact that he is a pathological liar doesn't matter to the public?
For someone who supposedly works at NASA you should understand the basic concept of "pattern of behavior".
He lies about everything and nobody cares. Unbelievable! I am sure he isn't even a billionaire as he claims. That is the primary reason why he doesnt' want to release his taxes.
Started in 2014, completed 2 years ahead of schedule in 2016....I cannot do that math. When was it scheduled to open?
·
According to your numbers, the hotel was planned to open in 2018. Opening in 2016 is 2 years early. Like I said, just using your figures...
Victor Ajayi Not my figures....just reading the article. .... I should have put a snark alert on my comment, I guess.
