not trying to start a political debate here... but it begs to be asked...

one of his key points is foreign countries (mexico, china, india, latin american countries) steal US jobs.

Then why does he himself outsource jobs for his products? as per letterman. I would be pissed if a were a trump supporter, to find out that he turns his back on American jobs.

The real question is. Now that he's interest in a high political office. Is will he continue to outsource. Not so much about what he's done in the past.

And that's the problem, a decent amount of his supporters are caught up in Trumps hype and not the reality that his campaign is a sham.

Despite his shady history and constant flip-flopping on almost every other word that comes out of his mouth, he can do no wrong in their eyes and that's really sad.

But as far as the outsourcing, more proof that he's still part of Wallstreet and for anybody to think he is not, that's really really sad.

Only way to find out is to put him into office right? Only then will you be disappointed in him for continuing to do what he was doing beforehand. Then again what reason does he have to change? According to Trump he's been very successful from a financial perspective, and if the outsourcing of jobs doesn't stop him from getting to be president what incentive is there to stop the job outsourcing?

@Serraph105: You can say the same for every other politican who has ever run for the Presidency.

And given that each candidate sucks. Its not like Clinton is going to be bringing much better policies. That's if she can even do the job with her declining health. Or will be faithful to anything she has said either. Given how frequent and often she has changed political positions, that doesn't end with gay marriage.

It's a valid question, and it's not the only troubling question pertaining to the sincerity of his "jobs for Americans" hype: Unless I'm mistaken, he also dropped (or at least watered down) his former opposition to expanding the H-1B visa program.

@jak42: Let's put the possibility that Trump is in fact a madman aside. He was a business man that outsourced jobs to keep his company afloat. If he becomes president maybe he will make an incentive for companies to remain in the US. He might even understand outsourcing so well because he did it that he could prevent others from doing it when he is president.

Assuming that he actually does have such a plan without seeing any proposal from him that we can analyze, what is his incentive for doing so? Don't the incentives encourage him to allow the practice to continue?

@playmynutz: Perhaps that may happen. Although that is still easier said than done. Much if not all presidential policies, have to go through Congress. And moving American jobs back will cost companies millions to build the necessary faculties and infrastructure for manufacturing in particular.

So there will have to be a really nice incentive to do so. But at what cost will it be to tax payers. In the event we actually can lure those jobs back, remains to be seen.

It beats the game where we pretend that both parties are the same. We'll be playing that one again in a couple months.

Donald Trump does things to benefit Donald Trump, that is it. It's complete BS to believe he has anyone's interests other than his own. His business has profited greatly by just running for president. Now imagine if he actually gets into office. Outsource jobs because they make him and himself more money. Become president so he can make himself and his business more money, simple as that.

Because of economics. Trump wants to change the economics so it's more beneficial to not out-source.

You don't get to be the head of 500+ successful business entities by running them as charities. Businesses have to be competitive.

@jak42: @mattbbpl: Outsourcing doesn't sound like a bad deal it's building the global economy. We need jobs and new jobs. Unless these candidates have promised something in regards of outsourcing doubt there will be change.

Because previous politicians that's both democrats and Republicans and includes the Clintons, made it cheaper to do so.

I enjoy watching his insane supporters rail on about Clinton's health. A. Trump is older than she is, and B. Dude cannot even stand up straight. He walks with a slouch like a bitch.

also, hilarious to see them talking about him like he is a strongman. He acts like a little bitch any time everything does not go his way. Who but a bitch throws a twitter fit at the sheer mention by someone else that he might not be a billionaire? Who does that? His dick must be the size of a corn nut.

SMH...Actions speak louder than words. How can you trust that someone will act differently in the future than they have in the past?

@bforrester420: Who said anything about trust. All I see is a question. His business practices regarding outsourcing, was not done with foreknowledge that he will run for the Presidency. And actually get this far where he's in a virtual tie with a seasoned politician in Clinton.

@ferrari2001 has it pegged all the way. Not even saying it's a bad thing, just the truth. The best indicator of future behavior is past behavior. We should not be surprised when this trend continues if he becomes POTUS.
