“The problem with Trump is that he doesn’t read”

Disagreed....well, mostly. I learned a long time ago that good leadership is not a popularity contest.

Aw, Dutch is jealous that I live like a king here. Poor Dutchy. Want more music?
Here's Dutch as a young man getting his grove on.
Not at all, Almost Marco. I've been to Rio for a few days as I have many other countries. Still, I prefer to live in the US like an American. You prefer your home country to live like a Brazilian. Your choice.

Show us where the direct cost of Trump's parade is $45 million. Break that number down some into what went into it.
There are estimates ranging from 45 to 90 million. If you EVER paid attention to estimates in the past, you would know they are always very low. I bet this Trump ego parade is going over 100 mill.
In any case, it is a huge waste of money and the end of something that distinguished us from other military powers. Dictators have parades. according to George Washington, and we honored that until we got a dictator.

Not to mention it's up to Trump and an oversight committee to tell us the total cost. Terry is blowing smoke demanding that it's up to We, the People, to detail the costs.

Remember when Trump claimed he had the most transparent administration evah? He lied...again. Those who support such liars are liars themselves or they are mentally ill. In Terry's case, I give him the benefit of the doubt that it's the latter.

Donald Trump stated on May 20, 2019 in remarks at the White House:
"There has never been, ever before, an administration that’s been so open and transparent."....

Is Donald Trump the most transparent president ever? No​

Time and again, President Donald Trump has asserted that his administration has achieved championship-level transparency...

...Our ruling​

Trump said, "There has never been, ever before, an administration that’s been so open and transparent."

Trump cited his cooperation with the Mueller investigation, but Mueller himself found several major shortcomings in the Trump White House’s efforts. Beyond that, the Trump administration has assembled a record of aggressive opposition to congressional subpoenas, a longstanding refusal to share his tax returns, a near-zeroing-out of press briefings, and larger numbers of lawsuits demanding the administration release information under FOIA.


We rate the statement Pants on Fire.
 
On this story about Trump and reading I was once told by a very old very well connected NYC guy that Trump did read a lot as a kid....his mother insisted.
I know to non-New Yorkers, it seems like everything inside the city limits is considered NYC, but culturally, trump was an outsider. the trumps were from the outer boroughs, Queens in particular. Fred Trump sometimes invested a little in Manhattan, but mostly stayed away.

A "very old very connected NYC guy" would know nothing of how much a bridge and tunnel kid read.

Trump was always an outsider, no matter how hard he tried to change that....but you are wrong in this case....as you are wrong almost always....Trump did read a lot as a kid.....he decided that it is a bad idea.

The one central fact about trump was his laziness, and lack of academic ability. This did not suddenly appear in adulthood.

There was a reason he had to be backdoored into UPenn. he was just not academically gifted. Oddly, his older brother did well in school.

More BullShit from you....the major part of the problem with the Trumps was not where they lived, it was that they were new money and that they made their money from Hustle....a life long DJT trait.

The trumps were part of the establishment in Queens. New Yorkers were considered outsiders in Queens.
