Why is it so important to establish the exact number of billions that Trump has? Whether it's $4b or $10b, it's a lot of money and indicative of a very successful career in business.

I could not care less about the exact number of Trump's net worth. I was simply responding to the idol worship of others who were calling him the greatest real estate developer in the world.

Nothing but an opinionated hit piece against Trump.

Hey, comparing Trump to Reagan is not nearly as distasteful as Obama’s comparing himself to Reagan.... and Lincoln.

But nobody here buys the lie that Obama is comparable to Reagan.

It's a sad reflection on American conservatism, and on certain posters here, that this article is now necessary to post.

Leaving aside the location where a given car company is headquartered (that's pretty much irrelevant

Not so. He's not proposing it for VW, is he?

Trump's policies would artificially raise the price of cars produced outside of the U.S., in order to stifle competition with cars produced in the U.S., with the purpose of encouraging companies to open plants in the U.S. instead of overseas. That's protectionism 101.

No, that's not the policy he outlined.

I believe he has proposed it for any cars imported from Mexico, not just those made by U.S. companies.

And if he IS proposing that, then that's even worse. What do you think would happen if we imposed tariffs on U.S. companies that imported goods from overseas, but not on overseas companies that did the same thing? I suspect there would be many fewer U.S. companies around....

I'm not sure that can even be determined (who is greatest real estate developer in world). What metrics would be used? No matter what metrics you use, it will be open to interpretation and people will immediately argue about it.

What can be established is that Donald Trump is pretty darn good at it. And he probably has the others beat in terms of getting publicity for himself.

I have heard no such proposal.

Neither have I heard that proposal.

Reagan and FDR are clearly the two most consequential presidents of the 20th Century. If America survives, the president who repeals Obama’s entire destructive legacy will make the list of most consequential presidents of the 21st Century.

Note: I would not put the former junior US Senator from Illinois, Barack Hussein Obama, on any list of presidents at all. Even if the alleged Hawaiian was actually born in the USA, I will continue to consider him a usurper and all his actions in our White House illegitimate. He has not acted in accordance with the Constitution, and most of what the communist druggie has done specifically violates the Tenth Amendment and Article II of the Constitution. The sooner we can revoke all his executive orders and actions, repeal all bills he signed, and impeach all his nominees for office, the better.

I think they will. But the first thing is you have to get them to stop being afraid. Trump is doing that (we used to call that “empowerment”).

Trump is worth 10 billion dollars and he filed this papers that say that.

Do you know how those valuations are done? The large majority of that net worth is the dude estimating how much he thinks he's worth. That's not hard value ($$ in the bank), or even soft value (how much a building is worth, land), that's fantasy value: how much is the trump brand worth? If he sold his name trademark, how much would someone pay for it? Obviously he thinks it'll be quite a lot more than anyone actually would pay.
