Oct 2016

...is that Trump never, ever had the idea that running for the top job would open up his entire empire and every business and personal dealings to extreme scrutiny.

I mean, what unknowing moron would not have seen that for decades every Presidential candidate and their running mates have been scrutinized to the nth degree by every sentient reporter, news hound, investigator, you name it?. Did he not think of this or did he think he was so lily white (orange?) in his personal life and business dealings that no dirt would ever turn up?

Geesh, for a guy who makes such outrageous claims, he's a terrible businessman, one who understands nothing and worse, is so clueless about politics that he's now shocked everyone is going after him.

Schadenfreude at work is wonderful btw!
