At the time, after repeated attempts to collect the money due, I came to believe the final invoice was not paid because that's how Trump rolls. In later years, my inclination to believe this grew as I learned about many others who were owed money by Trump (his entities and agents) and were not paid.

When Trump formed his presidential exploratory committee in 1999 to then test the waters for a presidential run as a Reform Party candidate, I was hired to work on it. When Trump concluded that such a run would not be successful (the national Reform Party collapsed into a hopelessly...

I don't have to look to any media organization to verify how Trump treats his contractors. I was once a Trump contractor as were others I then knew. Our personal experience preceded the news reports in question and lent credibility to them.

One easy resource for this can be seen here. They limit the campaign promises tracked to the 60 Trump put in writing in his Contract With the American Voter. During the campaign, some Trump supporters grew fond of telling others to take Trump's statements seriously but not literally. While that...

I've been quick to point out Trump's broken campaign promises. Fair is fair. See this: Results show Trump is making good on immigration campaign promises: Report

No Obama fan here, especially with his foreign policy. But he got a healthcare bill through congress while Trump cannot. How do you score that? Scoring depends, of course, on what you see the game and objective as. In terms of getting a health care bill through congress, it's Obama 1, Trump 0...

Trump may come to advocate that very thing. We've seen him flip flop on a host of issues. He once advocated universal health care. It would be nothing at all for him to flip back to that. If he figures out that he will gain a ton of support form the left by advocating single payer and some...

At least three entities have determined that investigations are warranted; the FBI, the House Intelligence Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee. It would be nice if these investigations were allowed to proceed without interference, with a healthy respect for the facts, and with the...

With any political leader who has fervent fans, it is common for the fans to blame the people around him or her for the leader's shortcomings or failures. It always remains the case, however, that it is the leader who picks his/her people and it is the leader who chooses to be influenced or not...

Also in today's news: "President Trump is abandoning a number of his key campaign promises on economic policy, adopting instead many of the centrist positions he railed against while campaigning as a populist." (Source)

All administrations have their share of intra-staff drama and the ongoing media obsession with palace intrigue. All staffs reflect and/or take on the personality of the president. Trump has a high tolerance for what many call chaos. In business and in the White House, he creates rival power...

Great questions! Do I want Trump impeached? I don't care one way or the other. However, I must admit a certain bias for that outcome, not because I want him to be impeached, not because I want one party or the other to win or lose, not because I identify with or favor another political figure...

This article may help answer your question. Will Trump be impeached -- or is it just a liberal fantasy?

You are exactly right. When I made my impeachment prediction a while back, I laid out the scenario components. One of the components was declining popularity. That is one of several things that must develop, not the only thing.

Maybe so, maybe not. See my comments above about Georgia's Sixth Congressional District special election.

It may be funny but it is not what I am suggesting. Trump's base is made up of several identifiable components. The notable alt-right adherents are getting the "jumping off the Trump train" press today because they happen to be the ones who are jumping off and being vocal while doing so. Bit by...

See the links below for additional indications the Trump base is eroding. To be fair, there have been grass-roots rallies by Trump supporters to show their Trump support that have been under-reported in the media. That said, these pro-Trump rallies pale in comparison to the anti-Trump rallies...

Partly because they had to pay an expediter to move the missile from the manufacturing facility to the navy base where they were loaded onto the ships.

No, not polls like the ones that had the election locked up for Hillary, but polls like the ones that are conducted on an ongoing basis. The polls I reference provide meaningful trend information over time. Election polls attempt to predict the surveyed person's future behavior (how is he/she...

While your keen awareness of certain issues and their contextual backgrounds may be substantial, the fact remains that before Trump signed the internet bill, internet service providers did not have the right to aggregate and sell my data trail without my consent. Now they do. Trump is the...
