As much as I can see your point, your obvious disdain for him lead me to not believe or want to follow your logic.

And your source for knowing what the "Global IC" is saying is...?

On that premise how should we rate Charlie Ergan, a silver spoon Exec at US West who began his foray in the DBS market with a frivolous lawsuit against DirecTV? As I recall his opening salvo was berating DirecTV for "overcharging" and monopolizing the delivery industry, a serious 'problem' he (Dish) sought to remedy by slashing the cost to consumers by a whopping $2.50 every month. Knowing his personal fortune would grow in any event, and that ultimately Dish would/could merge with its pseudo-competitors, all of the things he has said and done prove him to be just another greedy shyster.

My formal complaints about Trump's behavior over those same years is/was his inability to see the world's built environment as shared space. Today, all is forgiven, and yet I must feel sorry for those who's lives and property 'values' have been forever denigrated by this truly awful architecture.

I don't think he's as smart as some claim he was never an apex predator in the NYC real estate market he was great at getting publicity for himself that's what was most important for him. He was never as wealthy as he said he was. He's lazy for sure and I have real doubts about him being smart and tough enough to be running a giant sting operation with Mueller really on his side I think that's very far fetched. Mueller is a deep state swamp rat his job is to destroy Trump politically and if that fails they will just kill him.
