Trump Said There Would Be No Housing Collapse

“Just months before the U.S. housing market started to crash, beginning the downward spiral that sent the globe on the road to the massive 2008 financial crisis, Donald Trump was advising Trump University students that he didn’t think there was a bubble in the real estate market,” BuzzFeed reports.

“The comments from Trump in an October 2006 audiobook were one of numerous times Trump said through Trump University that he didn’t think there was a housing bubble. In another Trump University audiobook released earlier that year, Trump said to take talk of real estate bubble talk with a ‘pinch of salt.'”

try and 'square' things with whichever group he is talking to. Even if he deeply disagrees with what he is hearing. It is how dyslexics stayed alive for many a millenia all the while figuring psychopaths out first because dyslexics cannot do human fictions that regular human ancestors were so good at, and psychopaths are all about fiction. If the dyslexic does not know their own strength they will often be used by the psychopaths. Once the dyslexic knows their own strengths with perception in 3D, they are very perceptive (they look at the 3D world in minute detail and rotate things around the look at them from all sides, so nothing concrete gets by them, then they make a big picture of all the details over time (hours, days weeks, years). It is micro facts, macro meaning for dyslexics....who else could be an early warning system to other humans). Not being able to do human fictions like the banking system or foreign policy or the constitution or religion in any deep way also makes Trump great at pulling down others' human fictions. But, unless you were a dyslexic with power, you had to keep your mouth shut in the past and go along. Fortunately the Democrats have truth on their side. The Clintons are vulnerable with Bill's personal issues. But Hillary's economic platform is fact based. The GOP's is not. Will Trump be in charge of the GOP or will the GOP be in charge of Trump?
