Donald Trump has been associated with a wide array of business ventures and projects over the years, many of which have achieved notable success. Here are some of the more prominent successes: 1. Real Estate Empire: Trump's core success comes from his real estate empire, which includes numerous high-profile properties: Trump Tower: The 58-story mixed-use skyscraper in Manhattan is one of the most iconic buildings associated with his brand. Trump World Tower: This residential skyscraper in New York was completed in 2001 and remains one of the tallest residential buildings in the world. Trump International Hotel & Tower: Located in Chicago, this hotel and condo building is a significant part of his luxury portfolio. 2.

No sanewashing, moderators! Hold the candidates to their worldview, not just their policies. A rare chance for those across the spectrum to see both candidates to know who has the character to be President of this great country.

Giving the nation the idea that abortion is okay regardless is in the long run not going to be good for Kamala Harris. No system can operate without rules and regulations, freedom of choice comes with great responsibility, unfortunately all these tired phrases are still true

[@BeverlyDRomero]

Abortion has been legal for 50 years. Roe vs Wade. Now you want to go back. It’s none of your business, if someone gets an abortion, if you don’t want one, don’t get one!And,We Are Not Going Back!

Trump's staff said he should be in a straight jacket and a mouth muzzle just like Hannibal Lectur, but all Trump heard was Hannibal Lectur and has been talking about him ever since. Hearing loss is one of the first signs of old age, along with the mind deteriorating. At 78 it's happening fast

[@AhmedMohammed-jn8st]

I dunno what will happen in America if Kamala Harris would be the next president. I dont understand why those most celebrities endorse her.

[@mksd1236]

The best outcome for Trump is not to debate. We all know Harris will tear him to shreds… and he knows it. Thus he wants the muted mics, and behind him he and his allies (like Fox) etc ‘pre event’ attacking the mediator and network trying to set the stage for failure. He agreed to that network, that mediator, and that mode of debate… but he is now better off “calling in sick”.
