Celebrity mogul and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has told the Federal Election Commission that he holds positions with more than 500 separate companies and partnerships and earns income from more than 150 separate deals. “I was their fair-haired boy”.
TRUMP: I just think it is very unfair.
“I did it for fun, and everybody had a good time”, Trump said in a “Fox & Friends” interview.

The “Sorry” spot begins, “Donald Trump wants to say he’s sorry”. “We’ll see soon enough”. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island came up behind Graham, clapped a hand on his back and said, “I’ve been trying to call you, but I haven’t been able to get through!” John McCain, R-Ariz., then pivoting to a larger target: the growing GOP presidential field and the entire Republican Party.

And yet, Trump remains at the top of the GOP polls.
“Five people were killed by Marines”, one protester yelled, referencing last week’s shooting in Chattanooga, Tenn., by a naturalized U.S. citizen from Yemen. This was after Graham, defending McCain, called Trump “the world’s biggest jackass”.
In a broadcast that will air tonight on CNN, Anderson Cooper is in the direct firing line of a Trump attack.
McCain condemned Trump for catering to “the crazies” in the party.
“I’m not in the gang”. I want to be nice. The topic became a focal point of his campaign after he said “rapists” and “murderers” were entering the U.S. illegal from Mexico. He also refused to outline exactly what proof he had that Mexico was funneling criminals over the border, saying only, “We’ll be showing you the evidence”.
Trump had been scheduled to travel to the border to meet with representatives from the local Border Patrol union, who had invited him.
HollywoodLifers, do you think Donald’s remarks were deserved, or was he overreacting?
But Trump’s trip will go on. Laredo has a population that is 95.6 per cent Hispanic or Latino.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio likened Trump to Barack Obama, whom he called a president with “no class” and one who demeaned the office with his appearance this week on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”.
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best”, he thundered in June when he threw his hat into the ring.

Perry responded with a statement of his own, saying he hopes Trump will “apologize for ridiculing the selfless work of the men and women” who help protect the border.
