Comments on: Investors Sue Trump Over Failed Resort

CBS Evening News: They Believed The Venture Was A Sure Bet, But All They Got Was A Hole In The Ground

Why is it that rich folks can always sue to get their money back on failed ventures when we can't sue anybody to get back the money we lost in our 401k plans???

With all the information available at ones fingertips, a little investigation might have saved these folks all this. They have no one to blame but themselves.

How can Trump be held responsible for the drug wars in that region. Tell the investors to go after the leaders of the drug cartels for chasing away the tourists. See what kind of an answer they get out of them. HA.

Sorry guys, you are in the second wave of casualties - the first being to locals that are getting their heads cut off by pi$$ed off drug dealers.

Why would anyone wantto be on his "Apprentice" Reality show... Why are you people
treating him like he some kind of saint when he is merely a member a member of
of the Madoffclub.

I may be wrong, but I thought Trump had already filed bankruptcy twice in the last 12 years. I'll bet he's a major contributor to the Republican Party.
I think the Republicans need to reorganize - maybe they can call themselves Whigs.

Trump has also lent his name to a pyramid scheme to sell video phones.

Yes and the way they have gotten around it being legally shut down is that they have family members sign up friends and families (no cold calls).

Not enough people know that Donald "earned" his first million with a ponzi scheme to bilk old folks out of their retirement in New Jersey. It is indicative of our culture that we worship this peace of trash on TV like he is an economic genius when he is just another snake oil salesmen.

BTW: Why should anyone care what Ivana Trump has to say.

BTW, 40% of the earmarks in the spending bill were put there by REPUBLICAN"Ts. Earmarks represent less than 2% of the total spending bill. Obama never said he would END earmarks, only that he would attempt to REFORM the earmark system. McCain was the one who said he would end earmarks. And lastly NOT ALL earmarks can be considered wasteful or unwarranted expenditures- many are absolutely necessary and serve very real needs (highways, education, emergency services, etc).

Trump and all the investors were taken in by the false "beauty " of the Mexican coastline. Mexico has been famous for financial failures, fed by corruption and incompetence. As you drive down the coast from San Diego, deeper into Mexico, what would be prized property in the US, is nothing more than an environmental wreck, lined with the dashed hopes of conned investors. Skeletons of abandoned construction projects line the picturesque coastline that only a fool or a crook would ruin.

Everyone got what they deserved. There is no future in Mexico. It is an armpit. The only people who go there think it is a bargain. They are basically too cheap to go somewhere more reliable like Hawaii. Tell me now what a bargain Mexico is. Ha ha ha!

I see the REPUBLICAN'T morons are still out in full force. I am very happy our president is once again the smartest guy in the room. The prior group of clowns who held power did NOTHING to protect the American consumer or investor, thus leading the Trumps of the world to believe they could get away with anything. Thank God the voters Said "You're fired" to the REPUBLICAN'Ts who gave us this mess (and who STILL have nothing to offer but tax cuts as a way to get out of it). When you right-wing idiots finally come up with a leader who was actually ELECTED to office, let us know...
