If he’d invested the $200 million that Forbes magazine determined he was worth in 1982 into that index fund, it would have grown to more than $8 billion today.
At best he's worth $3 billion so that's a negative $5 billion growth rate. Not impressive.
Add his serial monogamy and trophy wife-ism and you're dealing with a loud mouthed cad. For President? No thanks, we already have one.
"But Trump loves America", you say. Loves America like his first wife or second?
Says who? you? Even Bloomberg rates him at over $4 billion. the federal financial disclosure forms aren't even able to accurately calculate wealth of his magnitude.
You are cherry picking your stock market starting point of 1982. That was a post-recession low caused by the necessary raising of interest rates by the Fed to wring out the inflation of the horrible Carter years. That and the lower tax rates of Reagan caused the stock market to rise starting in 1982.
It is quite disingenuous for you to use that as a starting point.
Wow do you mean he would have avoided the losses so many of us suffered in 2000 and 2008? I would be happy to have turned 200 million into 3 or 4 billion.
You could also be describing Rush.
“At best he’s worth $3 billion so that’s a negative $5 billion growth rate.”
Only an idiot would call growing something a “negative”. You are using terms improperly just to try to lampoon Trump. What a liberal.
