Show me proof. Real, honest, serious proof that either he or his family have been at "great personal and financial risk". Mindless blatherings by internet trolls saying "someone should shoot the so-and-so" need not apply; I'm talking about actual, credible attempts or threats that were thwarted as a result of actions taken by the Secret Service or other police forces.wesw wrote:rube,

(edited to add — I also do not consider the possibility that there might be protestors or hecklers in an audience to be "great personal risk" either)
As for "financial risk", I suggest you read this article from NBCNews which notes that while The Donald has spent less than a half-million dollars ($317 thousand) of his own money, he has made LOANS to his campaign totaling something like $35 MILLION dollars; loans for which he can be (legally) reimbursed out of future campaign contributions. Sure, he claims (right now) that he is not going to seek repayment of these loans, but I could throw the Trump Tower — with one hand — further than I would trust any words that come out of Trump's mouth.
And most of the stuff he's spent the money on, like those red hats? Purchased from a company owned by a board member of Mr. Trump's son's charitable foundation. Operating costs for Trump Force One and the whirlybird? Billed by and payable to Trump Industries. Extra manpower pulled from Trump Industries personnel in order to work on the campaign? What do you think? All the while exposing his "brand" to a new crop of lunkheads; "The Art of the Deal", which he wrote almost 30 years ago back in 1987, is back on the best-seller list after how many years of consignment to the 'remainder' bins.
"The Hairpiece That Walks Like A Man" claims that, if elected, he will run the country just like a business and even turn a profit. I don't know about the country, but it sure looks like he's going to make a pretty penny on his campaign.

I challenged wesw, who appears to feel that he is Trump's "Sir Lancelot" doing battle against all on this board in the name of his liege lord, to give me proof of his 
Silly me, I guess, for expecting anything different.
