“Trump got hundreds of millions”....That’s an old debunked NeverTrumper talkingpoint from 2016. He got from his father a $1 million loan, which was repaid.
Among their many testy exchanges at the Republican debate in Detroit on March 3, 2016, was how much wealth Trump inherited.
“He talks about these great businesses that he’s built,” Rubio said. “He inherited over $100 million.”
Trump interjected: “Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.”
Trump added, “First of all, I got a call from my sister and brother tonight, and they said, ‘We had no idea Dad gave you $200 million.’ Believe me, I started off with $1 million. I built a company that’s worth more than $10 billion. And I say it not in a bragging way, but that’s the kind of thinking we need.”
Re: TV saved him.
Wrong.
Here is season 1, episode one, intro of the Apprentice in 2004.
Trump says was in a bad way 13 years ago which would put it at 1991. He already made his way back before the TV show.
