Trump grew wealthy during the 80's, the start of the "me generation" of moneymakers, and the "decade of greed". In it, he was revealed to be "the opposite of a small-government conservative" and someone who'd made money "on the backs of taxpayers".

Does it occur to anyone what this reveals?

Why were the 80s described this way?

"PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN"

The Leftist narrative was that if anyone was very successful during this period, it was because of greed and abusing the lower class via trickle down economics.

If it wasn't for guys like Trump back then, the economy would not have rebounded under Reagan.

Trump? Why damn him of course...

What else can you do when you've got guys like Carter and Mondale to champion your cause?

Whaaat? I hope the clowns who say Trump got all his money from his dad come on here and denounce this.

He "made money "on the backs of taxpayers"
OR
He got his money from his dad?

Someone (you know who you are) said in a post he got $300 million ($1.5 billion today) from his daddy

Which one is the lie?

LOL, yes.

Who would want to go back to the 80’s?

Hell, we were all working.
