[So say you. What are your personal chops, that qualify you to make such an offhand statement while providing zero evidence?]

I’m comparing Trump to other entrepreneurs who weren’t staked hundreds of millions of dollars by their fathers. But the trail of failed businesses speaks for itself. To say he was outstanding, you need to provide evidence. What’s his basis?

We know Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Steve Jobs and so on were exceptional because they came from nothing. Their parents were comfortable but certainly not wealthy enough to grubstake the ventures that eventually became household names. Trump grew up with the proverbial silver spoon, and was showered with investment capital by his father.

Tell me about that “trail”, which by the way implies one leading to another leading to another, and so on. Use facts where necessary. Unless you do, I don’t buy “speaks for itself”. Be complete, show your work.

>> To say he was outstanding, you need to provide evidence.

Please show me where I used the word “outstanding” in any of my previous posts on this thread. NOTE: I’m not real tolerant of arrogant self-appointed polymath shitheads putting words in my mouth. That’s a cheap logical fallacy used by poor (and poorly informed) “debaters”. I’d like to think you’re above that, but...

This is ridiculous. Donald Trump joined his father's business in 1968, and started running it in 1971. Much of the wealth his father accrued before his death in 1999 was a result of Donald growing the company exponentially from 1971 until his father's death.
