See my answer to Crusader Frank.
Right back at you. Donald Trump is no Horatio Alger. He never had to struggle to pay rent, pay for college, buy food, hell, he never had to look for a job in his life. Yet he tells you he had it tough, I don't think any of you know what tough is if you believe his crap.
That isn't what he said, moron. He merely claimed that it's a challenge to turn $1 million into $10 billion. Of course, all you sleazy libturds assholes are intent on painting what he said to be whining about how poor he was.
People aren't as stupid as you believe them to be.
They aren't going to fall for it.
No, he never claimed that, he was bitching about how hard repayment with interest was even though a million dollars in 1974 is equal to $6.8 million today, The whining over how rough he actually had it is pathetic.
I saw him make the statement in person. You're full of shit.
Don't you get tired of being corrected like a small animal?
“Oh many times. I’ve been told no by him. My whole life, really has been a no," the Republican presidential candidate said during a town hall event in Atkinson, New Hampshire, on NBC's "Today."
“It has not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me. I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars," Trump remarked. "I came into Manhattan, and I had to pay him back, and I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan and I started buying properties, and I did great."

Trump: My dad gave me a 'small loan' of a million dollars
I understand you don't like him, but can't you at least give the man credit for being a YOUGELY successful business man? If it were easy we'd all be billionaire's. Yes he was fortunate enough to come from wealth, get a great education etc but is that a reason to hate on him for his success?
There are plenty of 'kids' that come from wealth and are total **** ups. They piss their life away on mommy and daddies dime, never have to work for anything and if they are given help from Dad they still go and **** things up. Like it or not Trump had to work hard to get where he is, being given $$$--no matter what sum-- isn't a guaranteed ticket to success.
Dislike Trump all you want but you should give him a lot of credit for his success. Shit, there's a lot of wealthy people I don't like, but I'll be damned if I'll run them down. I'm in no position to judge people who make millions/billions, if anything I like to learn from them...I admire them (not to be mistaken for jealousy).
