To be fair, I think any reasonably smart person being handed 200 million and a top of the line business education should be expected to do well.

I’m in favor of smart people in charge of things. Donald is abrasive, and I think he demeans himself by his bravado, but it’s who he is. I wouldn’t want to hang out with him, but that’s not really necessary to run the country right.

I mean I’d love a shot at what I could do with that kind of start. I did all right myself, but nothing like that.

I’m from New Jersey. Many years ago I dated a lawyer, BA Harvard, Law Degree Columbia. He once said, “I like Jersey girls, they have the sophistication of NY girls without the meanness.” You got to be mean to play in NY.

To be fair, 200,000,000.00 is easy to turn into 9,000,000,000.00?

You think that a guy who can do that within the law over time, not a stroke of luck but careful planning, is not worthy of more respect from public figures?

You are wasting my time

YOu should read about the various dynasties that were passed on to the kids, that are no longer worth anything... like the Vanderbuilts, Dupont’s etc.

“I wouldn’t want to hang out with him, but that’s not really necessary to run the country right.”

Actually, you might like to. In private, Trump is said to be a really nice, good hearted person, and lots of fun, a great sense of humor. I’d love to hang out with him for a day. It would be such a treat.

Let's see:

There is two hundred million

Now, one thousand million equals one billion.

Nine Thousand Million equals 9 billion.

I could see how some would think there is not much difference.
