        The skyline has changed so much. One of those tall buildings was owned by Trump in 2001 and it was the tallest building downtown after 9-11. He wanted everyone to know it.

        "normal" people reacted to 9-11 by feeling sadness or anger. The way Trump looks at ANYTHING is to think about how it affects him. Everything is fine as long as Trump is doing well. Wanna bet how the big thing we find in his tax returns is that he is not rich.

        How do you know what Trump was feeling after 9-11? He’s a NY’er, born there! As I read that story, someone asked him about his building, and that was his response. But you *must* look for something evil because he didn’t declare himself to be a Democrat. That’s really pathetic.

        All Trump has every cared about is winning and losing. So, how much did Trump pay in federal taxes since 2008? I'll bet that you paid more in federal taxes over the last 10 years than he did IF you exclude his income as a reality TV star, the only thing he's good at.

        So long as the US is thriving, nobody with a brain cares about Trump’s taxes. The leaked return proved he paid lots of tax, so I’m going to assume that happened every year. Stop disparaging the President and open your eyes. He’s doing good things for everyone, including you.

        The economy is good. Trump deserves the credit. The economy was almost as good under Obama. I’m sure you gave Obama almost as much credit. The economy was better under Clinton. I’m sure you gave him even MORE credit. Amiright?

        The ‘Obama economy was great’ he pushes is a lie. He never got 2% growth & he wrote off manufacturing completely. Democrats can’t manage money, period. Clinton’s economy was a success because of the R Congress & Newt Gingrich’s Contract w America. History won’t be kind to Obama.
