Can we just dispense with this campaign nonsense and inaugurate Trump today?
Oh how I wish!!!
Only 69 days left to the eve of the Iowa Caucus. Tic toc tic toc tic...
OH how I so agree with you!!!
Sure, why not? After all, you know all about Trump -- everybody knows who Trump is, a brilliant billionaire who has accomplished so much! Why, the man is worth $3.9 BILLION!! He's a genius, a get-it-done kinda guy!!
By the way -- how many here off the tops of their head know who Larry Ellison, Sheldon Adelson,Len Blavatnik, and Donald Bren are? Are their names anywhere close to being household words? WHY NOT?
Without googling, just off the top your head -- Bueller? Bueller? WHY have you never heard of these guys but you heard of Trump LONG before he was ever running for President?
I happen to know who Donald Bren is because I live in his neck of the woods. He is worth $15.5 BILLION, nearly five times more than Donald Trump.
Donald Bren is exactly comparable to Trump in that he was born into a wealthy family, yet earned his money as a great developer and investor -- a genuine real estate "mogul," making Trump look kinda paltry in comparison, quite honestly.
The ONLY REASON Trump's name is a household word in America isn't because he such a brilliant businessman or politician. His name is a household word because he created and cultivate a very specific BRAND IMAGE for himself over the course of about 10 years, a smartly executed advertising/promotional campaign, and a hit TV reality show. His "brand image" is brilliant brassy billionaire genius.
In fact, his success in business is a tiny fraction of EVERY OTHER NAME listed above. And that list is a very small one of all the brilliant businessmen billionaires you've never heard of but who are worth considerably more than Trump because they are BETTER at what they do than Trump, at least when it comes to business. What they aren't are self-promoters and celebrities.
Wake up.
