here you go again, posting stories about Trump that are so stupid that I am forced to actually defend him (SPIT).
Send me a check for 13 cents and it'll be deposited with the days business. Small amount or not. And I doubt that Trump does his own accounting and banking, anyway. They were just pranking some poor account exec. at the firm that handles Donald's personal finances.
Stupid political hit pieces are still stupid when they are about Trump.

You and I and others have tried so hard to explain basic accounting principles and processes to this OP, and he is just not understanding it - and this is a perfect example of what is wrong with many who criticize Trump.
(I know you don't like Trump bigfatfurrytexan, but the rest of this is not addressing you...)
This thread included, the ridiculous criticisms of Trump that have anything to do with bankruptcies, wealth, business, and so many other things, demonstrate a true ignorance of how the real world works.
And no matter how often some of us try to explain how their reasoning is flawed, they are just not getting it. The repeat criticisms of Trump that have no basis in reality and show a true lack of understanding.
We seriously need Trump to fix our economy. Those of us who understand do realize this.
The responses to this thread prove what Trump himself said: he could stand on the street corner and shoot people and his supporters would still be behind him.

Oh no. A lot of us do. Except replace "thinks" with "know".
Does a great man evict a widow so he can build something with his name on it? Does a great man declare bankruptcy four times?
originally posted by: DJW001To people who were alive and aware in the 1980s and -90s, Donald Trump is not an unknown quantity. His boorishness, egotism, and vulgarity were already the stuff of legend.
“Khashoggi was a great broker and a lousy businessman,” Trump said to me that night. “He understood the art of bringing people together and putting together a deal better than almost anyone—all the bull#ting part, of talk and entertainment—but he never knew how to invest his money. If he had put his commissions into a bank in Switzerland, he’d be a rich man today, but he invested it, and he made lousy choices.”
When he looks at a glass, he is mesmerized by its reflection. If Donald Trump were shaped a little differently, he would compete for Miss America. But whatever the depths of self-enchantment, the demagogue has to say something. So what does Trump say? That he is a successful businessman and that that is what America needs in the Oval Office. There is some plausibility in this, though not much. The greatest deeds of American Presidents — midwifing the new republic; freeing the slaves; harnessing the energies and vision needed to win the Cold War — had little to do with a bottom line.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

If Trump shot 3 people, he'd almost be a bad a Hillary. She's directly responsible for 4 in Benghazi. But as it stands now, it's Trump = 0 / Clinton = 4.

Well let's look at it this way, .13c is 13% of one dollar. Do you know how much money you would have if you could get the entire population of the USA to send you .13c each as a prank?
Please, if you can, explain to me why you are outraged (you made a thread) about Trump accepting roughly $3 from a satirical newspaper, when you are not outraged about Clinton accepting millions (possibly Billions) from foreign governments and investors.

We'd cash a check for $0.13.
Our doctor's office accounting dept. is constantly sending us checks for between $5 and less, so we're used to checks for small amounts. It's our money we overpaid them, so we have no issues depositing it when we shop for groceries.
