Trump’s leverage as a political free agent appalled Republicans at the start of Thursday’s debate, when he was the only candidate to refuse a pledge to support the GOP nominee (and not run independently) if his candidacy fell short. By the way, Ivana Trump disavowed the accusations and added, “I think he would make an incredible president!”

What Trump apparently doesn’t know is that companies like his typically provides insurance benefits under ERISA, which allows multistate firms to offer uniform health benefits to workers, wherever they live. Instead, the conversation centered around Trump’s business dealings – and bankruptcies – as moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump if he could be trusted running the nation’s business. In his estimate, Trump valued his personal brand at $3.3 billion, while others report his brand to be worth somewhere between $50 – $100 million.

“You truly have a great prime minister in Benjamin Netanyahu”.
Trump’s replies: “I would be so different from what you have right now. You’ll quadruple”. Who says Trump doesn’t have Presidential experience?
Barack Obama confessed to being underwhelming after his first presidential debate against Mitt Romney in 2012. Discerning Americans are looking cautiously at this populist entrepreneur whose manifesto boldly proclaims ” Make America Great Again!”

What he said then: Following the release of several videos allegedly featuring Planned Parenthood executives discussing the possible price and costs of harvesting fetal tissue, Trump said he’d rather shut down the government than continue to fund Planned Parenthood. He’s one of the wealthiest men in the country and many wonder how much money Trump actually has … He said same sex marriage was “something that is too premature for me to comment on”, in the same interview.
