Donald deserves a lot of cracks - but "got his money from Daddy"

UNTRUE - the man is a genius developer - he did it on his own.

Now - let all the other cracks at him rip - but don't take away the mans business abilities - don't do that.

During his college years, Donald Trump and his father decided to purchase an apartment complex in Ohio which was in bankruptcy. The purchase of this complex is striking because they obtained financing above the purchase price so they could do the necessary remodeling to the run down complex. The development purchased by Donald Trump "with his father’s aid" was called Swifton Village, a 1,200 unit apartment in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was purchased at a foreclosure sale for less than $6 million and sold within a year and half for about $12 million dollars. Without a penny of their own invested they were able to turn the apartment complex around by taking a strict approach at rent collection and by remodeling the appearance of the complex. Trump was able to see how the government would assist buyers in purchasing property with little or no financial backing. and best of all how do get such aid. This incident was the beginnings of the Donald Trump we know today. This event proved to be the single most important lesson Donald Trump learned

The Donald might be able to buy all the wives he wants but all his bucks can't buy him any class. I never thought much about him one way or the other but he comes off a real pompous ass. Hey did he go bankrupt?
