No.

And what is your answer to the first question?

And?

I love it when people say “not really” and then leave you hanging. It’s often more informative than if they had actually said something.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you didn’t know that Trump owned a bunch of businesses any which of one is capable of experiencing financial losses, especially after the economic downturn that occurred due to covid.

Excuse me, I need to get on the phone with Mr. Hilton and remind him of all the favors he owes me because I often stay at his hotel. Think I should ask for a yacht or a mansion?

Were you cool with the idea of people getting access to Clinton when she was SOS by donating to the Clinton Foundation?

Pretty sure millions of dollars garners a little more attention from rich people then a few hundred dollar hotel room stay.

Saudi’s racked up a big bill at a posh hotel, call the press, that never happened before.

A billionaire isn’t going to grant you favors because you spent money at his hotel, even if the tab runs six figures. For perspective that is like a millionaire granting you favors because you racked up a hundred dollar tab at his rib joint.

Did you compare its revenue before and after? And so what, you think Hillary sells books because she’s a great author or speaking fees for her sweet voice?

The Post Office is a Federal Agency, not a Trump holding. Many millions of Americans rely on the Post Office.

Yeah, and the Clinton Foundation got millions because of Clinton being President and Hillary being a Senator and Washington big shot and Presidential candidate. What’s your point?
