Is he still going to be surprised about the blind trust?

No he's going to negotiate a deal to reduce his business debt with the federal debt and include a provision eliminating the blind trust requirement.

On day 1.

Sounds like a terrible business venture. Blowing eight figures on a campaign that will ultimately lose to someone as despised as Hillary is a pathetic waste of money. Maybe you can argue he will recoup some of that cost with increased brand value, but there's no way his $50 million+ in expenditures will even come close to being offset.

Given Obama and Romney each spent $500 million plus. I would imagine $50 million for Trump is low.

Your point on branding is important. It's possible he actually hurts his brand.

He's financing his own campaign? WTF???

Why aren't you worried about the upcoming Dem brokered convention?

as a Cruzer, shouldn't you kick glen beck to the curb, get on your knees with Sarah Palin, ask for forgiveness and move to defeat Hiliary?

Trump doesn't need to spend much $$$ as the media has been doing all his advertising for him. It's gonna be special when they actually make him answer a question face to face though.

I'm not worried about anything with the election. Even if Trump gets elected. Life goes on. Unlike freaks like you that'll flip the fuck out if Hillary wins.

You don't read well. Part of me is curious what a Trump presidency would look like. I'll never vote for him but there's a morbid curiosity.

Trump finance himself in the primary but that is impossible to do in the general. I think I saw a stat that showed the general usually costs an average of $2 billion.

He's not financing that himself
