Bernie Sanders goes to Coachella music festival

[Moonglow]

Yeah, have you? What's your point? He's not a capitalistic entrepreneur? He is. He became that guy he pretended to publicly despise.

Bernie Sanders inherited a small amount, described as "a few thousand dollars," after his mother died when he was 18 and his father when he was 20. There are no reports of any substantial inheritance beyond this. His wife had inherited a vacation home.

His net worth is 3 million.

That's not much in today's economy.

President Trump earned (and grew) his wealth in private business. Bernie has never worked. Grifting and stealing like all the demWitted loons.

Trump inherited his wealth, and relied on grift like Trump University to "grow" his net worth before becoming POTUS:

Lucky Loser review – how Donald Trump squandered his wealth

"Donald Trump started his career at the end of the 1970s, financed by his father Fred Trump.

"Over the years this transfer of wealth added up to around $500m in today’s money in gifts.

"My rough calculations say that, had he simply taken the money, leveraged it not imprudently, and passively invested it in Manhattan real estate – gone to parties, womanised, played golf, collected his rent cheques and reinvested them – his fortune could have amounted to more than $80bn by the time he ascended to the presidency in 2017."

The 'Independent' who votes in lock step with Dems 99.9% of the time? I'm not sure he understands the word. As for his epic HYPOCRISY owning 3 freaking houses and lecturing everyone on how much wealth they can have I say F you Bernie you washed up old fool.

Hypocrisy among wealthy environmentalists does not mean that climate change is not a serious and growing problem.

Running for office and serving as an elected official is work. Try it sometime.

I know, science says there's a 100% chance another ice age is coming.

President Trump turned $1million into $10Billion over a couple decades. You try it you dumb OX. There is a long list of $10million athletes, lottery winners and Hollyweird fags that have nothing left. It ain’t easy to even hold onto money, let alone make it grow 100X.

Only MAGA believes anything Trump says about his business acumen:

NY Times: Trump got $413M from his dad, much from tax dodges

"NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Times reported Tuesday that President Donald Trump received at least $413 million from his father over the decades, much of that through dubious tax dodges, including outright fraud.

"The 15,000-word Times report contradicts Trump’s portrayal of himself as a self-made billionaire who started with just a $1 million loan from his father."
