VI Belonger Richard C.N. Branson rips Donald J. Trump
On Friday October 14, 2016, British billionaire and Virgin Islands Belonger Richard C.N. Branson endorsed Clinton in a blog post on Virgin’s website. Branson said he had been following the election closely because it will have “major implications” all over the world. “With that in mind, I wanted to share my view on why a Donald Trump presidency would be a disaster,” he wrote.
Branson started the post by saying that while he would like to see an entrepreneur in the White House, he does not want Trump to be elected. “[T]here are many entrepreneurs who I would be delighted to see in power – just not this one,” he wrote.
Branson knows a thing or two about entrepreneurship. He dropped out of school at 17 for his first business venture, publishing a magazine called Student. Then in 1973, he started Virgin Records, which he sold nearly twenty years later for $1 billion to Thorn EMI. Today, he owns a dozens of businesses under the Virgin brand name, including Virgin Airlines. FORBES estimates Branson’s net worth at $4.9 billion. That makes him $1.2 billion richer than the Republican nominee, whose net worth dropped $800 million over the past year to $3.7 billion, according to FORBES, partly due to the softening of New York City’s real estate market.
Branson wrote that he once told Trump that they disagreed on entrepreneurship when they met many years ago. Branson said his definition of what makes a great entrepreneur “involves being a good listener, putting others before oneself, being an effective delagator and striving to make a positive difference to the world.” Additionally, he wrote that entrepreneurs are good decision makers who know when to take risks.
“These are not characteristics I see in Mr Trump — neither in his previous business dealings, nor in this campaign,” Branson wrote. He criticised Trump’s stance on immigration and open borders, saying that an “entrepreneur president” would be focused on increasing jobs in the United Sates. (Business Insider)

have strict gun control and police de-militarisation,
have a Pres that does not pander to racism and xenophobia and the pseudo-religious extremists who seem to be able to unduly shape Republican politics,
not have a Pres who calls you "the Blacks" or turns away rental customers to his properties because they are black,
not have a Pres who is in favour of laws that disproportionately target black people or other minority racial groups.
you vote for him and you deserve what you get, even though Hilary has been apparently fairly crooked, although no more than Trump - ask those he owes money to.
Every single thing is planned...even this election and its candidates. If you ever watch old episodes of the Simpsons, you'll see a lot of these things. Can't trust any of them.
