...... and slave labor is available from immigrants attracted by false promises, whose passports are taken until they have paid off loan to get there (from Pakistan) which is over 2 years, so they are trapped, live 2 hours outside the city and work site, so are basically in crowded prison with over a hundred miles of arid desert as a fence. These are the people building the Trump Golf project (actually a little town of mansions with a golf course, a billionaire's utopia built by slaves. It's business as usual, globalized.
When Trump made his ban Muslims speech, the facility reported it had removed the Trump sign to replace it with Beverly Hills. Photos show that it was torn down and destroyed. Trump's name, in the Middle East, even in fascist monarchies like the UAS, is sh*t. It has gone from being worth billions as a brand....to a liability.
The Trump name, worth billions, was torn down and is now replaced with "The Beverly Hills of Dubai." Trump looks at a landslide loss in the Presidential race and the destruction of his golden goose, his own name. A report is circulating that his name has been put back up after "We took it down." It was ripped down as Trump has damaged his name in the ME.
So Trump knows how negative messages cannot not only backfire politically but can ruin your business. The Trump name will not appear in the UAE; the head of the Trump project in Istanbul said that they were reconsidering their relationship. The UAE company that is building the City of the Elite is having financial problems. And so Trump is seeing that his speech has consequences, so far very bad for his business, which has projects in many Muslim nations where his name now is merde de sh*t.
This is yet another reason to quit: he is losing money and his brand is suffering!
For documentation, go to HBO or vice.com to watch their jaw dropping documentary on the Trump workers, desperate and depressed, trapped.....building 10 million dollar luxury homes for the rich elites
This documentary will open your eyes to show how Trump is the very epicenter of globalization, growing fat on the exhausted bodies of suffering slave labor. This is no outsider; this is a man seeking to be the fox guarding the hen house, a man who does not create but extracts wealth which others create (ie., a capitalist), who does not create jobs (unless Hitler created jobs with Dachau) but crushes men to extract wealth which he then squanders on gaudy spectacles and obscene symbols of wealth.
How likely that a man who has grown rich by being born rich and then mastering the art of screwing by others exploiting the system from the race to the bottom in labor and health/safety standards in those slave labor states with low taxes....and sell this cheap stuff to the rich or the wannabes. Everything Trump has said he would do, bring the jobs home, reduce taxes so corporations won't be "forced" to offshore jobs, end the legal bribery which he brags he is also master of, and it all adds up to Big Money, however earned.
Is this an implicit endorsement of Clinton? No, only those in the few swing states will have a tough choice; the rest of us can vote for Dr. STein without benefiting either candidate. And I predict Trump will drop out, staged as a walk-out on a system so rigged that tho the people love him, the fix is on. He walks (licking his wounds, not just about getting his ass kicked by the most unpopular woman in America but losing partners in the Muslim world and pissing off perhaps 200 million Americans. Trump will exit as both a great hero who stood up to the establishment (into which he was born) and a victim of a rigged system (he is like right but upside down) and a biased media (the same which catapulted him to the nomination with hundreds of millions of free publicity.
Trump, who seems both tiring and semi-bored with his new script, will, if this latest team of misfits doesn't turn things around, have his pretext for quitting already in place: corruption and bias make the election by the people impossible.
The most painful lesson is that he is right, but for all the worst reasons. How long will he last? That totally depends on the polls, which right now show Clinton up by 5.8 or nearly 15%, and ahead in most swing states.....and Trump busy firing and hiring staff, which means they don't have a clue. Trump has gone full bore fear pandering, running on terrorism and law and order. The solution to black poverty? More police. The solution to immigrant poverty? Deport them.
This is the program Hitler ran on when he could not win an election: focus on fear, which blocks rational response: terror, black violence, crime........be very very afraid...and then vote for Trump.
And when that fails in the next few weeks (he already has all the racists and fascists), he will provide a facade of bravado in announcing that he has too much respect for the people and democracy and apple pie to stay in a rigged election.
If I am wrong, nothing changes. He loses, goes back to tv. Clinton. Clinch your teeth and bear it. We will survive, and if we continue to work for political revolution, our day will come. Trump will begin to repair his damaged image, the only thing he truly cares about since it is the source of his wealth.
