Really? A scripted Q&A at the church? It must have had all the spontaneity and realism of a professional wrestling bout.

What you learn when you listen to Trump voters

They operate heavy machinery. They Uber. They gush over the Olympics. Their friends are Bernie Sanders supporters. They're on the local baseball team. Yes, they want to make America great again, but Donald Trump's supporters contain multitudes. They are not, on the whole, the white-devil, frothing Confederate fanatics baffled columnists have made them out to be. So who is Team Trump, really? We met up with locals waiting in line to attend a Trump rally in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where the population is 93.8 percent white (as opposed to the national proportion of 77.1 percent), and discussed the colony at Jamestown, non-theoretical nuclear war and George Washington's personal Koran. Here's what we found.

They're skeptical
Rae: It's kind of like, whoa, is this person even real? So I'm going to find the real person, hopefully.
Smith: He's playing this very strategic game, and he's kinda doing it in an unorthodox way, and I was pretty game until I read something that he said about "why don't we use our nukes?" He asked someone three times, you know? And I have a daughter that's 6 months old. And it's like, you said that out loud? You actually said that out loud? And so now I think, do I want to enable something like that? If you've got a problem: hellfire missile, whatever. But a nuke?
Shoemaker: Personally, I could've heard more from him on the point of maybe environmental stuff.
Rae: I go to a small liberal arts college, so that's a very concentrated area of Democrats. I thought it was interesting that the Republicans on campus were, kind of ironically, not treated in a way that you would think that liberal people would treat people.

How many FBI and DOJ investigations into Hillary Clinton and her foundation In the past 5 years?
7? 10?
And you call trump a crook. Lmao. Get that head checked.
You've already posted this pic on this site before.
Reverting to old habits which previously got you banned? Do you have some kind of subconscience desire to be punished for all the naughty little things you do in your private life?
Trump pays IRS a penalty for his foundation violating rules with gift to aid Florida attorney general

Donald Trump paid the IRS a $2,500 penalty this year, an official at Trump's company said, after it was revealed that Trump's charitable foundation had violated tax laws by giving a political contribution to a campaign group connected to Florida's attorney general.
The improper donation, a $25,000 gift from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, was made in 2013. At the time, Attorney General Pam Bondi was considering whether to investigate fraud allegations against Trump University. She decided not to pursue the case.
Earlier this year, The Washington Post and a liberal watchdog group raised new questions about the three-year-old gift. The watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed a complaint with the IRS — noting that, as a registered nonprofit, the Trump Foundation was not allowed to make political donations.
The Post reported another error, which had the effect of obscuring the political gift from the IRS.
In that year's tax filings, The Post reported, the Trump Foundation did not notify the IRS of this political donation. Instead, Trump's foundation listed a donation — also for $25,000 — to a Kansas charity with a name similar to that of Bondi's political group. In fact, Trump's foundation had not given the Kansas group any money.
The prohibited gift was, in effect, replaced with an innocent-sounding but nonexistent donation.
Trump's business said it was unaware of any of these mistakes until March, when it heard from the watchdog group and The Post.
On Thursday, Jeffrey McConney — senior vice president and controller at the Trump Organization — said that after being notified, Trump filed paperwork informing the IRS of the political gift and paid an excise tax equal to 10 percent of its value.
McConney said that Trump had also personally reimbursed the Trump Foundation for $25,000, covering the full value of the improper gift. McConney blamed a series of mistakes, all of them unintentional. McConney said there had been no attempt to deceive.
"It was just an honest mistake," McConney said. He added: "It wasn’t done intentionally to hide a political donation, it was just an error."...
