Well, surely I have said I THOUGHT this would happen and offered it as an opinion, so smart a$$ remarks aside I still believe it.

Not alone by the way...back in March read this.....

"In an open letter to voters supporting Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary, the former communications director of Trump’s now-defunct Super PAC said that the former reality television star not only never expected to be the Republican nominee, much less president, but never even wanted to be.

Writing for the website xojane.com, Stephanie Cegielski said that when she was brought aboard as communications director for the Make America Great Again PAC last summer, the instructions from Trump Tower were to make sure that Trump finished a respectable second in the GOP primary. It was made clear that Trump was running not as a serious contender, but as a “protest” candidate.

That certainly does not make it so, nor am I saying any such thing. There were news reports on air back during the nomination process where associates said the same thing, BUT

That proves nothing.

As I said, my opinion is based on a few things...

1. In his entire life...I mean as far back as you check, and I did. This man has never done anything or said anything that did not offer gains for HIM. That is validated by 5 biographers, his writings, his ghost writer and other sources so it is not a guess.

2. His company is PRIVATE, and up to now he has resisrpted any thought of a blind trust. He is currently fighting with ethics folks on how he might satisfy everyone. The WSJ on Friday offered up resolutions, but he resists them all.

3. Why does he resist ? Not sure obviously, but this is the least transparent President Elect and with a private business, LOTS of foreign debt, and no tax returns, we know nothing.

He will face big time hurdles in any negotiations where tax reform, wall st reform, etc are on the table. He has ties wit Iran, Russia, Turkey and folks who at one times were "involved" with terrorism. All of that is known.

All that together just suggests that he is not going to open up, nor lose any money.

Heck, the WSJ recommendation requires him to sell everything and put into a blind trust.
, and already he has Giuliani out saying that would put his kids out of work.

So, I do not know, but think this board is about informed opinions.
