Most Trump supporters buy into the notion he borrowed one million dollars and turned it into ten billion. I'm not at all convinced he’z worth 10 billion. Will see.
Fact is, the boy was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. What he built, he built with old money. Argue if you will, but that's just the skinny of it.
All this sophomoric bloviating/borderline narcissism ain't gonna go very far when elected if he continues treating folks in kind as president.
Most are glued to the tele, watching every Trump move. What they don't see or realize, there is and has been a movement among the republican elites to circumvent a Trump nomination. Trump's playing in their sandbox, not his own. The republican establishment will not go down without a fight. Trump plays by his own rules, in his own kingdom. The Donald's not in his own sandbox and he will find he’z about to come up against a storm of opposition. There is allot of power, position, influence and money in D.C. and Ol McDonald's pissed’m all off.
If Trump gets his feelings hurt once again, it's possible (without thinking it through) he will jump 3rd party and run as an independent. Shah-wing, president Hillary and first man pervert Billy.
I guess you don’t believe Trump.
No problem for me.
You can save time by skipping the rest of this post.

I’m including it for those who may be on the fence, something I wrongly assumed you were, or I wouldn’t have wasted my time posting what I did earlier.
But, the fact is he did say he didn’t get $200 million, but his father did loan him $1 million.
The $200 million is what his father left the 5 children, so Trump inherited about $40 million. At that time of inheriting he was worth several hundred million already having earned that using that $1 million loan as seed money.
As far as whether he’s worth $20 billion, we don’t have to use the phrase ‘we’ll see’. The papers showing his worth were filed last summer, so we already have seen that.
Or you could be 100% wrong! That is very possible too.
“Heck, I’d say most would enjoy success as well after inheriting a $200 million dollar corporation/estate.”
I never get this argument. It strikes me as just about the weakest attack on Trump one could devise, considering Trump was 52 years old when he first inherited anything from his father, who he died in 1999. Trump, of course, was already filthy rich by that time (beyond the fact that didn’t actually get that amount just to himself). Even in the 1980s everybody knew that he was one of the richest men in America already. Trump has been a stunningly successful businessman if you look at the big picture honestly, especially in his actual field of real estate.
These sort of misrepresentative and niggling attacks on him as a businessman (he’s had fewer failures than most big businessmen) always strike me as almost anti-Capitalistic. Until Rubio started down this path, I had almost only heard these sort of attacks from the far Left.
