Donald Trump IS America! Strong, Able, Intelligent, Confident. I Wanted to Be Like Him as a Young Man.

[Mac1958]

No , it's just more insanity , it exists on both extremes.

There are any number of similiarities, and the nutters on both ends are the problem, but the country hasn't seen this before.

Who did he inherit money from in the 1970s? His father died in 1999.

Had to look it up. $1 million dollars in 1976.He also took over the family business , he did not do it for free. In 1980 his dad gave him another $90,000. https;//www.cnbc.com>2018/10/02 Trump's small loan from his father was more like $60.7 million NYT. Which he never paid back. Wish I could get a loan like that. Plus his dad bought $35 million in gaming chips to make mortgage payments on his son's casino to prevent it from going under. Guess what , it went under anyway. trump gutted it for all it was worth , took the money and ran. Yep, he's a really great guy if you think creeps are great guys that is.

That's a cool story, only problem is that it's just a fantasy, as a ghost writer of Art of the Deal will tell you.

There are many fine self-made American businessmen, Trump has never been one of them.

Even trump's dad knew what a loser trump was. Why else would he buy $35 million in gaming chips to make mortgage payments if his son's casino went under. Donald gutted the casino for all it's worth and ran.

I notice you never did say who Trump inherited money from in the 1970s, but even if your numbers were true, there is no way in hell simple investments on amounts that small would yield his current $3 billion net worth. Why don't you admit you just made it all up?

LOL , no doubt he included all the donations he got from his idiot followers to get to that number ( also illegal). The last figure I saw for him was 2.5 billion
Wait until it all collapses, no doubt he'll claim he's broke. Today's money is worth a whole lot less, if you factor in for interest, he still ends up short. So much for the life of crime being profitable. It was all for nothing. He lost.

Those numbers are correct, all from his dad. Let's suffice to say trump got over $100 million altogether from his dad by 1999. His dad was once worth $300 million, when he died he only had about $20 million left. By the way he died from Alzheimer's disease , at the time he was a " high-functioning sociopath " much like trump is now. Trump got the lion's share of that too. Even swindling his disabled nephew out of his inheritance. Great guy my ass. Pathetic swindler is more like it.

Fun fact: if Trump would do absolutely nothing except smoke weed and put his inheritance into stock market index fund he would many many times richer today.

People’s contempt for Trump inheriting money and taking it to the next level with investments, calculated risks, and surviving failures is nauseating.

The same people incensed over how Trump made money have no problem or concern over Democrat career politicians becoming multimillionaires off the backs of taxpayers.

I blame all his negative press since, forever, on Doonesbury.......it's Yuge.

Has nothing to do with Trump's money. Trump is a criminal. He's a stupid, sadistic, profane cheat.

I’m sure you also believe the current administration is stain free.

Leftwingers are so jealous of this great man, it's unbelievable. My feeling has always been to admire greatness and try to emulate it, rather than envy it.

Yah, let's immulate greatness like Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, Charles Manson, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot. immulate then and find out how long your free days are.

Rump inherited 400 mil. In todays dollars that is worth $14,556,714,285.71. Yes, Gertrude, that's 14 billion. Rump has lost about 11 billion of his inheritance.

In summer 1989, my wife and I had a nonstop to Seattle. In the five-hour flight, I read The Art of the Deal from cover to cover. This was right at the time I decided to switch careers from teaching to real estate investing. I was 30 years old. That book was so motivational to me, had more sound business tips, and was so inspiring, I couldn't wait to get back home and start. That was 33 years ago, and it was the best decision I ever made.

But the point is, Donald Trump represented the very best of America. He was extremely wealthy by age 34, a self-made billionaire by 40. A brilliant, bold, organized, disciplined, confident swashbuckling kind of guy. I liked that and wanted to be that in my own sphere, though not the showy part. I wasn't going to do anything near as big as buy a landmark NYC hotel, but I was going to do my own little thing here in my mid-sized city.

Fast forward to late 1996. My wife and I were in Romania. Not far removed from Communism. The weather was overcast, bleak, lifeless. So were the people. Walking through the streets of Bucharest, the men were all dressed alike. Drab black pants, black shoes, black overcoat. They walked without energy or purpose it seemed. I was tall energetic, walked fast, wore jeans and white sneakers, and a bright red, white, and blue windbreaker. I didn't realize how I stood out, though I wasn't trying to. People looked at me. In the evening, I walked downtown to the casino. I did pretty well at blackjack. The natives didn't seem to know how to play. Nobody ever split or doubled down. I was having such a good run, people were putting their chips beside mine. Before long, the floor manager summoned me, and said I would have to remove my red, white, and blue jacket because it was too flamboyant for their tastes. Underneath I was wearing an old beat-up gray sweatshirt, but that was fine with them because it was not bright. I apologized and did what they wanted.

When I got back to the house where we were staying, I asked our native guide how I was perceived. I thought perhaps I was disliked. She said, no, the people can tell you are an American and admire that. They admire your energy, and are a bit jealous of you because of all you represent. I think I appeared to them the same way Americans see Donald Trump. Tall, energetic, can-do, very confident, maybe a little brash. Some are jealous. But this is what America is.

But is also extremely generous, giving, and caring. Just like Donald Trump. There are many stories of people Trump has helped financially without it being publicized. The media has scrubbed most of those accounts. But I remember before the big Google purge of 2016, such stories were readily found. America has always come to the aid of people in need. We are strong, confident, and giving. Never has an American leader matched a country's personality better than President Trump.

But the Marxist left doesn't want that. They want us to be like Soviet-bloc people. Bland, weak, tired, ineffectual zombie-like, and controlled. They don't want people to strive and dream and work and achieve. They don't want Donald Trumps.

What is this total load of bollocks doing in Politics?

Still no answer on who he inherited that from or when. lol.
I think it's because it's made up.

Everyone has their faults , trump's are unconscionable.

I don't know the exact figures BUT one thing is certain trump would probably be a used car salesman if it weren't for his father's constantly bailing him out.
