For your education. Who better to bring this country out of the financial mess it’s in than someone who has been down that road? We, the people, are left holding the bag for the mess the politicians have made out of our debt. They will retire or get voted out of office, with full pay and benefits - (if they have been in office for at least 5 years) and while in office - make millions. How does that stack up against your future? Not so rosy looking, is it?
“Have you ever researched: Trump’s real estate empire when he inherited it from his father? His use of bankruptcy to protect his personal interests while allowing his fellow investors to suffer? How much he is really worth?”
Yes, he took his dad’s inheritance of 6 million dollars and parlayed it into a 6 to 10 billion dollar real estate/entertainment empire. How much is he really worth? A heck of a lot more than you will ever be. Jealous are you?
That which you seem to condemn as bad is actually good.
Leveraging the family wealth to make it increase is a a good thing. It is not necessary for every one to start from scratch to be a successful businessman.
Bankruptcy is not a stain. Bankruptcy is the way our law is written to tie up the lose ends of a business failure/closure. Investors know the risks. Have no tears for investors here. They followed Trump expecting a gain. They chose to take the risk with him rather than starting a business of their own
your argument is specious
Go Scott!!
Details, details. Silence, peasant! You are not permitted to criticize the elite. Perhaps Lord William has rewritten Greek mythology.
Speaking of Caitlin, while I was in the grocery store check-out line yesterday, I was heartened to see that the rack holding the “People” magazine featuring him on the cover was completely filled.
Of course, it may be that the rack was in need of restocking right before I got there, but I am hoping that it means nobody is buying that junk.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
Honest intelligent business managers don’t require bankruptcies to keep their enterprises solvent. I know several bankrupt business owners that share a common trait......poor planning and management.
Inflation explains a lot of folks increase in net worth. Trump going from 6 million to 6 billion is no different than many families holding real estate as investments. He’s no genius in that regard.
I take it you are a billionaire?
I would never admit it here.
So you dismiss a very well written, thoughtful piece out of hand ...where are your brilliant ideas? No you don’t have to generate them yourself .....but please point to them
Id love to know what it is you think is worth your time.
Well written piece of elitist cr@p that belittles the very people that are the backbone of conservatism.
Number 2 has posted this to belittle Trump it is just what he does.
The GOP-E continues to prove that stupid people never believe they are stupid.
