Donald Trump: If I lose, ‘it’s OK ... I go back to a very good way of life’

Donald Trump: If I lose, ‘it’s OK ... I go back to a very good way of life’
Dylan Stableford Senior editor August 11, 2016

Donald Trump says if he loses the presidential election to Hillary Clinton, he’d be fine with it because he’s got a lot of money and he’s the one telling the truth.

“I’m a truth teller,” the Republican nominee told CNBC on Thursday. “All I do is tell the truth. And if at the end of 90 days I fall short because I’m somewhat politically [incorrect] even though I’m supposed to be the smart one and even though I’m supposed to have a lot of good ideas, it’s OK. You know, I go back to a very good way of life.”

I hope the GOP party as a whole got that message loud and clear from their boy. Its just a reality show lark for Trump, an ego stroke and nothing more.

He could care less if he loses!!!

Don't worry, it's okay if I lose... I'll be fine.

It's as if he genuinely believes that people will go out to vote on Election Day and spend hours waiting in line for the personal benefit of Donald J. Trump.

His loans from non-US sources may be exposed (no US bank will lend to him).

Melania Trump may face legal action over her immigration history.

Melania may leave Trump. Trump may leave Melania.

Release the tax and immigration forms, now!

Too bad for him that it's all on tape. Most people now see him as a seriously unbalanced know-nothing blowhard.

The new reality will be a series of trials, penalties and possibly prison time starring him. That's one I'll watch.
