Tilson: Donald Trump Is The Devil, Brings Out The Very Worst In Human Nature

Hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson says Donald Trump is "the devil, and brings out the very worst in human nature." The comments from Tilson came after a prediction site showed that Trump is 72.2 percent likely the Republican nominee, while Hillary Clinton's chance as a democratic nominee stands at 88.9 percent. However, Trump has only 19.4 percent chances of becoming the President versus Clinton's 63.5 percent.

During Trump's 13 years as chairman, the casino empire lost $1.1 billion, twice declared bankruptcy, and wrote down or restructured $1.8 billion in debt. Over the same period, the company paid Trump roughly $82 million by Fortune's estimates. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the third time in 2014. It's now a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises, run by Carl Icahn. "He appeals to base instincts and whips up hatred: racism, xenophobia, misogyny, etc. I can think of no greater threat the long-term future of this country than him becoming President, and I will do everything in my power to stop this from happening," Tilson wrote in an email to his subscribers.
