"Deals like this destroy democracy, said Trump during a rally in Gettysburg, PA on Saturday.
Donald Trump expressed he would not approve the AT&T and Time Warner merger if he was elected president. "Deals like this destroy democracy, said Trump during a rally in Gettysburg, PA on Saturday where he discussed what he would do in his first 100 days of presidency.

Trump also said he would like to break up the Comcast/NBC Universal merger. He opened up his speech claiming the election is "rigged" against him and expressed that the media "lie and fabricate stories to make a candidate they don't like look as bad and dangerous as possible."

The AT&T deal, which has been valued at $85 billion, has not been finalized and would be subject to regulatory approval. Comcast was denied in its effort to buy Time Warner Cable.

Trump reiterated his plans to build an anti-immigration wall at the border which Mexico would "reimburse." In his "closing arguments" he said that he would deport without delay immigrants imprisoned for violent crimes and revoke the visa rights for countries who refuse to take back their citizens.

He also added he would pursue legal action against his sexual assault accusers "after the election."

"Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign," said Trump.

Meh, you don't have freedom of speech to lie about someone raping you.

Can he prove they're lying? It sounds pretty consistent with what he says and how he's always conducted himself.

Sounds like we'll find out in court.

The burden of proof will be on the "victims" not Trump.

I'm skeptical of all these "victims" coming out at the same time a couple weeks before the election, when it supposedly happened years ago.

Dicto Simpliciter fallacy...you cant take random events out of their context to prove a completely different charge..he said unflattering things about some women does not = rapist.

Temple Taggart and Jill Harth made exactly similar allegations (which by the way are legally sexual assault) to what Trump said on the tape months and years before it came out.

Either a. They possess a time machine and went back to tailor their allegations specifically to make them believeable

Or B. He actually did sexually assault them.

I'll let you use the principle of Occam's razor to figure that one out.

Meh, you don't have freedom of speech to lie about someone raping you.

The precedent set is even better

Instead of innocent till proven guilty it will be guilty if proven innocent

So any rape victim without an open shut case or really expensive lawyers shouldn't pursue justice because if they lose they will be sued or charged

Democracy indeed :scumbag: and a great thing for the POTUS to focus his attention on :frommido:

 

[Real]

Another merger?

I thought att was with direct TV?

By all means ...lets
start with Harth

McDowell told her story initially to The New York Times in May 2016[48]
this is NOT years before

The suit was withdrawn when a "parallel suit" her husband had filed against Trump was settled by Trump agreeing to pay an undisclosed sum of money.


Occams razor tells me

mega corporations forming together like voltron

Meh, you don't have freedom of speech to lie about someone raping you.

he was accused of assault, which he admits to having the power to do as well as possessing little ability to control himself when around certain woman. why do you all willingly take Ls to defend this man?

aside from the fact that women who are sexually assaulted dont always come out immediately, especially against powerful perps, maybe they dont want the man who sexually assaulted them to be running the country

I don't even know if I agree with him or not, but theres something about a real estate guy aka a glorified landlord lecturing me on business strategy.

If the the POTUS has rape accusations on the table, that actually WOULD be a good thing to resolve
