Have you seen the photo of the billboard for Trump Tower Mumbai looming over sleeping street kids?
I don't know how to post the photo itself, so I'm posting the link to the Snopes article confirming the photo is real, and including other photos of the same site from the same photographer:
http://www.snopes.com/trump-tower-billboard-in-mumbai/
I first ran across it on Twitter this morning
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C0_EEaNXcAE2iZU.jpg)
but from what the article says, the photo started circulating this month on Facebook (after originally being posted there in 2014), though the link to the Dec. 2016 Facebook page no longer brings up the photo there.
It shows Trump with a gloating smile, seated in one of his gilded chairs, apparently in his own Trump Tower home, and the billboard reads:
THERE IS
ONLY ONE WAY
TO LIVE.
THE TRUMP WAY.
And below the billboard, children sleep in the street.
Says everything about Trump and his "values."
Snopes says the photo was challenged as not being real, but they were able to verify that it is.
Imagine how much better those people's lives would be if that billboard wasn't there.

2. Trump is smarter than all of us
if the rest of us worked harder, we could also live the Trump way, luxuriously tax free
He's living by the tax code your heroes, the smarterest people ever to run government, wrote.

At one time there were probably nice things in Detroit too.

Would the little DUmmie goons be happier if the street children slept under a billboard showing infidels being beheaded? Or maybe a shot of some homosexual victim being hurled off a four-story building? Maybe a bunch of hijab covered women waiting to be stoned?

Brace yourselves, lurking primitives.
That is great. I think I'll use that for my signature line.

It would be a damn shame if Trump really builds there and creates hundreds of job opportunities for the people of mumbai.

Hundreds of jobs?
Hotels have to be built, staffed and maintained.
They require utilities.
Those hotels house numerous upscale restaurants.
All of these things require supply chains that span the world.
The taxes paid for the streets with or without children sleeping in them (the children certainly didn't pay for the streets).
Then there is the downstream benefits of all those employees spending their paychecks elsewhere in the economy.
Trump has done more to alleviate poverty than all the world's Proglodytes put together.

All true, however it won't help the kids in the picture or their parents one bit.
They are the "untouchables", the lowest caste of the lowest caste. With the caste system in India, those children are doomed to the street, sifting through garbage, doing the jobs no one else will do.
But it will generate hundreds, if not thousands of jobs, worldwide.

If I was Trump, I'd be pissed that my marketing people were spending my advertising dollars so poorly. I mean WTF?

Thousands, if you count all the construction workers and the businesses who provide products and services to the hotel. Then there's the money visitors spend in and about Mumbai, and the business many will be bringing to Mumbai, Maharashtra State, and the rest of India.

Trump will create thousands of jobs with that project in India alone.
OTOH
Obama has created zero jobs in India during eight years.
Talk among yourselves.

The jobs that are "coming back" because of Trump's policies are jobs BHO wrote off or promised to attack. Obama hasn't tried to create real jobs here in the US, and succeeded as he tried.
