This article is a laundry list of what people should know before casting their vote.

Trump Scandals

Donald Trump has been the center of scandals way before his entrance to politics. From dishonest business dealings and racial discrimination to other horrible incidents have been rampant throughout Trump’s lifetime. While some scandals are larger than others, all are immoral and show a side of ‘The Donald’ that he seems to be rather proud of.

We will take a trip to Trump’s past to witness his mafia ties and alleged marital rape, to racial discrimination and ‘the Great Wall of Mexico’, we’ve covered it all in this collection of Donald Trump scandals that goes back to the 70s.

21. That’s not available to you (1971 – 1975)

In 1973, the Department of Justice sued Donald Trump and his father for Trump Management’s discrimination against people based on their race and color – people who wanted to rent from one of Trump’s 39 sites around New York. At the time, the New York Times reported that the company would tell people of color that apartments were not available or require different terms and conditions from them because of their race.

20. He hired undocumented illegal immigrants (1980)

In all his talk of immigrants “taking” jobs from people, Trump hired 200 undocumented Polish workers to demolish the Bonwit Teller store when constructing Trump Tower. The workers weren’t able to follow safety procedures as they weren’t given hard hats, slept at the construction site, and got paid $5 per hour for all of it – if they were paid at all! The illegal immigrants were threatened with deportation when they complained or asked about payment.

18. He executed a hostile takeover (1986)

Wanting to expand his Atlantic City casino empire, Trump planned and executed a hostile takeover of Holiday and Bally’s in 1986. He bought up stocks in the companies with an attempt to gain control and avoid paying the control premium, but thankfully, Bally’s realized what the cunning Trump was trying to do and sued him for antitrust violations.

12. Third Bankruptcy (2004)

Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts was $1.8 billion dollars in debt and once again filed for bankruptcy in 2004. They reemerged as Trump Entertainment Resorts with Trump no longer having a controlling stake, but still chairman of the new company.

7. ACN Scam (2010)

In 2010, which was a hop and a skip away, Donald Trump opened up an investment company called ACN. In it, investors had to hand over a $500 sign-up fee and then build a consumer base of new investors. How did he even get away with this pyramid scheme? Obviously, the entire thing toppled over and investors lost hundreds of thousands of dollars while Trump walked away with millions.

Click through for the remaining 17 incidents from Trump's past that indicate how he would likely run the US.  Words such as fraud, liar, racist, xenophobe, opportunist, manipulator and more all come to mind.  I would love to slap that smug mug at the top of the page.  Unfortunately, the article is spread over numerous pages but it is worth plugging through to remind ourselves just what a "criminal" he is. Fortunately, each page is short. Trump likes to remind everyone of "Crooked" Hillary.  With this past, he's the crook.

  1. No one in their right mind would vote for Trump but there are too many people in our country who clearly are not in their right minds. 

  2. exactly what Gloria said, and sadly last night on a "progressive radio"show I had to listen to how "hillary is way scarier" than trump talk….????  we cannot have 4years of trump, too risky for the world 

  3. I remember when Trump tried to take over AC, New Jersey back in the day. People were excited about working at the casinos, then he came in. Ruined the economy, and trashed the folks who worked for him.

    Who's more "scarier" than HRC? Donald Trump. No doubt about it.

    Thanks, Lynn for post.

  4. Amen and great job, Squatch!!

  5. I can understand progressives being taken in by the 24-year smear campaign that has been waged against Hillary and Bill – it has been done very deliberately with appeals to all the best emotions.  I can understand anyone on the right, and possibly some in the center, refusing to consider that it may just be a smear campaign, because that is a lot more comfortable than having to actually do some work. But I'm soory, I cannot believe in real peogressives who WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY that they might be wrng, and therefore refuse to examine any actual evidence.  That is intellectual dishonesty, and it doesn't fit well with progressivism.

  6. “The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure, while the intelligent are full of doubt,”  Bertrand Russell.  This may be a part of the answer regarding the fools who want to vote for Rumpy, and for those who will not stop to consider, or  think about, evidence!

    Then there is "None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see," Matthew Henry, 1540.  this seems relevant, as well.  The man is a Malignant Narcissist, and a malignancy on the society!

  7. Take-Home Message WRT Depths of Degradation:

    There is NO Bottom when it comes to the Trump Barrel.

  8. Will these end Drumpf's presidential run? No. Why should they? There's nothing new here, and unless the media come up with some new revelations about even more crookedness, millions of his followers will remain loyal because he gives them a free pass for their bigotry, misogyny, racism… and because they admire him for his crookedness. They'd love to screw people over and get away with it themselves and are oblivious to the fact that they'll be the next in line to be screwed over should he become president.

  9. This won't end his run, his followers only listen to him, not sensible people.
