Donald Trump Shenanigans

Probably a topic for the lounge

 

Joe Louis.

 

good boxing stuff!

 

I concur.

 

An honest mistake.

 

LOL!!

Watch out, Mr Money will come barrelling in to disagree with you - with EXACTLY what, he won’t know .

Rest assured, the rationale will have something to do with, primitive, outdated and tip toeing.

Whatever the question, if the answer is Joe Louis it has to be WRONG and a LIE.

 

I find his participation in boxing in the late eighties fascinating. He must’ve bankrolled several great fights, or at least hosted them in his casinos.

 

Trump had a great offensive arsenal but a bit of a glass jaw when dealing with the incoming.

 

Be careful. As I'm sure you know, the most aggressive mod in there is a mentally-unstable Trump cheerleader...

 

Well, politics aside (he should be in prison for leading the U.S. Capitol insurrection, if not sentenced to death for Treason ... other than that), we could post about Donald Trump boxing shenanigans.

The Trump Hotels and Casinos were the host of a lot of boxing matches in the 1980s/1990s. When he was president, he also offically pardoned Jack Johnson.

* Trump was recognized as the reason Tyson and Spinks fought in 1988 to unify everything because he put up a biggest site fee in history to that point to host the event. The two fighters even did a promo where they both said "Thank you, Mr. Trump."

* He became such a player in the sport at one point, when Mike Tyson crashed his car after fighting with Robin Givens, the only people allowed to visit him in the hospital were his wife (Robin Givens), Tyson's mother-in-law, and Donald and Ivana Trump.

I was talking to Al Bernstein once, who notoriously despises Trump, and asked him about the days when ESPN's Top Rank Boxing used to have shows nearly every month in Atlantic City at a Trump property and what he was like for the ESPN guys to work with. And Bernstein said, when it came to boxing, Trump was always a wonderful host and gave ESPN anything they needed for their shows. He worked very hard to attract the top promoters and fighters to his properties.

From the boxing perspective, most people who worked with him had positives to say. Then again, his personality fits right in with the sport.

 

He was very influentual back in the day. In fact, Steve Wynn famously paid Douglas and Holyfield their (at the time) massive purses because Wynn was in a war with Trump trying to secure the top fights to his new property.

 

As opposed to the oh-so-stable Biden crowd...please, spare us this nonsense.

 

Trump has done a lot for this country, and Israel but doesnt get credit by corporate media
