Business as usual for Trump partners in Dubai, Istanbul

Dubai's luxury property developer has said that it is business as usual regarding a partnership with the Trump Organization, which is run by the Republican presidential front-runner who has called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States.

"We would like to stress that our agreement is with the Trump Organization as one of the premium golf course operators in the world and as such we would not comment further on Mr Trump's personal or political agenda, nor comment on the internal American political debate scene," said Damac Properties Senior Vice President Niall McLoughlin in a statement seen by Al Jazeera on Tuesday.

The Istanbul-based residential and office towers in the Sisli district did not respond to Al Jazeera's request for comment by the time of publishing.

In an interview with Hotelier Middle East in May, Trump's daughter and executive in the family business, Ivanka, said that she was eyeing Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia as further opportunities to exploit.

"He's more than happy to make money off Muslims, at the same time attacking them in the most vicious way possible," Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American Relations (CAIR), told Al Jazeera.

Farmer: I'm a farmer.

Xi: Let me ask you, if you had two houses, would you give one to the government?
Without hesitation the farmer says yes.. Xi turns to the governor who isn't convinced.

Xi asks: if you had two cars, would you give one to the government? Immediate yes from the farmer.

The governor asks if he may asks a question and Xi says, of course.
Governor: if you had two cows, would you give one to the government.
Farmer: No. Never. Please don't ask.

Xi is confused: But you'd give a house and car, why not a cow?
Farmer: I actually have two cows.

That pretty much explains why people try so hard to evade establishing definitions of left-winger and right-winger.

In theory, we're all left-wingers, in practice, it has actual costs, and is less desirable.
