Could Trump's Failed bid for Buffalo Bills be the Reason for his NFL Implosion? [View all]

Back in the Fall of 2014, Citizen Trump was trying to buy the NFL Buffalo Bills. he lost out on that bid.

I think we should explore the possibility that the thin skinned, orange asshole could have held a grudge for the intervening 3 years and blurted out his venom in the Alabama speech this past Friday night.

Here is a sample of the news story at the time (Oct. 13, 2014), a small snippet and his accompanying tweets back in 2014. An interesting read and an interesting theory.

<snip>After a bidding war that saw Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula become the new owner of the Buffalo Bills for a whopping $1.4 billion, Donald Trump, the other would-be owner, took to Twitter to voice his displeasure.

The string of tweets was rife with bargaining and backhanded compliments.<snip>
