Incorrect. Other capitalists fund his enterprises of their own free will. He would not have large enterprises if there wasn't confidence in his abilities.
It could be argued the other capitalists are dependent on Trump. If there were better places to invest, they would put their money there. They are apparently dependent on Trump to make the kind of returns they desire.

I'm not incorrect. What you say above is arguably true but it remains true that Trump is dependent upon the willing participation of other capitalists in his various enterprises. History has shown their confidence to have been misplaced to put it mildly.

Trump emphatically doesn't "stand on his own". Far from it.

About this RW meme that the Clinton Global Initiative is in any way disreputable, here's the latest load of bullcrap.

Yeah, knuckledraggers. Cheryl volunteered her time and paid her own way from DC to NY to interview some job prospects for CGI.

CGI is an A rated charity who spends 88% of it's income on programs to help poor people. https://www.charitywatch.org/ratings...foundation/478

What does their other set of books say?

The real set, with the numbers that haven't been cooked?

12 weeks to go bob.

84 days.

That's forever in a Presidential campaign.

Especially with a candidate with as much baggage as Hillary has.

Those polls will tighten, then reverse themselves, and there will be graet wailing and gnashing of teeth in the land of the Clintonistas.
