I know a lot about business; I have owned one for 32 years. And not once in all that time have I even considered paying anyone a dime to "protect my interests". I could have and it may have even been the path of least resistance, but I stood my ground and I prevailed.
If Trump paid Sharpton for that reason he is a weasel.
It's hilarious that Trump supporters say how invincible Trump is and he's not afraid to "stand up" to everyone and everything. But then when he's revealed to have given money to someone unsavory, they fall back on the excuse that he's a helpless little wimp who has no choice and can't, "stand up."
So maybe he is a wimp, but I think he gives money to Sharpton because he's a wimp, but i think it's because he likes Sharpton and they are cronies. After all, the majority of real estate developers don't give money to Sharpton, and their business goes on just fine. What do you have to say to that MamaB?
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, Trump is a liberal.
