In a veiled shot at GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump , fellow billionaire Warren Buffett on Monday dismissed the real estate mogul's campaign slogan.
"There's no need to 'make America great again.' America is greater than it's ever been," Buffett said during a wide-ranging interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Buffett, a supporter of leading Democrat Hillary Clinton, said America is going to "become ever greater

It is for him.
For the rest of us, not so much.
Yeah, its great for a billionaire with a buddy in the White House.
Not great right now, but come January 20, 2017, America will be great again.
Your post is spot on.
Our masters are trying to tell us slaves that we have it good.
Didn’t this POS support Obama? Obama has been good for Buffett’s personal account but bad for the USA.
Buffett would sell this nation down the river in a minute if he personally benefited from it.
Getting so much better all the time.
Don't forget TAXES and non-healthcare Government regulation. Property/local taxes for me have going up ~200% since 2008; state gas tax has gone up to highest in nation, state income tax has gone up. Some EPA mandate resulted in me having to get a new sewage system, and a requirement to pump out every couple years (never had a problem, ever). FEMA redraws flood map, so now I have to spend thousands of dollars to fight buying flood insurance I don't need (170 year old house, never flooded). The list goes on...
Sure if you’re a frickin’ billionaire so shut the f^&k up.
I go on road trips occasionally and no it’s not, Warren.
Easy for Buffett to say who’s always had a profitable relationship with the crooks in government.
Things are great for Buffet with all his crony deals.
Go to the bottom of the article on Yahoo and read the 700 or so comments. You think the people on FR are pissed, the Yahoo people are ready for an execution!
Buffet fails to take God into account. No nation can be “great” which tells the Creator to get lost.
Warren is doing better than ever, and some of that (according to him) is due to his wind energy work, which is supported by govt subsidy. He says it wouldn’t be worth doing otherwise.
Warren buffet, billionaire on welfare.
Yuo after he tried to play in the corrupt reinsurance industry. Then when the whole thing went belly up the Feds give him a do over. But hey why not it seems we did the same for the big wall street rip off artists. Can't have them lose their houses in the Hamptons, where would all political fund raisers happen.
Says the ultimate crony capitalist.
Is that old fart going to live forever?
Greater than it’s ever been with $20 trillion in debt. What a moron. As long as he is profiting all is well. No matter we are transforming into a Third World nation. No matter that 47% don’t pay taxes. No matter that robots are about to replace 60% of jobs, yet we are still mindlessly importing 1 million people a year. He is a dangerous traitor.
If I was a billionaire, I’d probably feel the same way Buffy does.
The Oligarchs don’t want any change.
