    Donald Trump’s claim he would invest £1bn in a golf resort was misleading, according to the man who helped broker the deal.

    Well yeah.

    Why have people continually believed this man’s lies and fraud for decades now? So many people who should know better.

    He has fucked over everyone he could his whole life but so many people seem to think, “well he won’t fuck me over.”

        I don’t know that ‘stupid’ is the right word. I think it’s arrogance and ignorance that no one could possibly cheat them because they’re rich and powerful. They might be smart in other ways, but their narcissism makes them make stupid choices.

      Back in the '80s we knew he was a scumbag. We laughed at him and his antics.

      I can’t understand how he can still get people to believe him.

        I don’t get it either. When The Art of the Deal came out, there were tons of stories about how it was all bullshit. And there was also the Central Park Five thing.
