nah the trump brand is known around the globe. he's created something. He was successful in some way in each of real estate, game shows, politics. He's not just a failure.
I mean it's way easier to get rich when you steal your wealth and screw over business partners, but he's a pretty amazing survival story.
He is known around the world, yes. He has had success on television and in politics, but I challenge you big time on the real estate. Again, had he just invested the money that Daddy left him, he would have MUCH more wealth today than he has. The ONLY business of his that is still standing that he had a hand in is his real estate business...the one that Daddy left him. He has LOST money running that business compared to if he had just put the money from his Daddy into the stock market.
His failures in business show he is not a good businessman. He has been good at promoting himself and pulling the wool over people's eyes, but even that is going away.
From steaks to vodka to a fake University to water to telecommunications to casinos to an airline to a magazine to a board game to a travel site, and on and on and on, just failure after failure after failure.
You are giving him way too much credit. He's a horrible businessman.
ask yourself why only one first-time politician businessman in modern American history has been elected president.
I never said it was easy to become a billionaire. It is easy to become one when your daddy gives you the money to easily become one.
If I were gifted $900 million today, I would never become a billionaire? What a ridiculous comment.
If I put $900 million in the stock market today, and I got just a 5% return on that money, I'd have a billion dollars in just 3 years. What are you even talking about? WOW, you are so dumb.
I didn't say an intelligent person couldn't do it. I said YOU couldn't do it.
If you invested $900 million in the stock market this year you'd be down to $765 million already with the worst yet to come.
The Dow was over 5000 when Trump inherited his money in 1974. The bottom fell out of the stock market in the 70s and it didn't hit 5000 again until 1986.

"He's a horrible business man" says our beloved Flagpole about a businessman worth $3.1 BILLION with a real estate empire spanning all around the world while our beloved Flagpole spends his days inspecting his real estate empire in Toledo, Ohio. LOL.

Hey dumb@ss, quit talking sh!t about stuff you know NOTHING about
The Dow closed 1974 at 616.24, NOT 5,000.
Let's put that in again so you know there was no typo.
616.24.
You know NOTHING, you huge dumb@ss. Go lick your wounds. I hope you learned something today. Oh...and you're a moron.
Yeah, I saw that earlier. The guy (who is indicative of Trumpers) is out of his freakin' mind.
If you weren't such a stupid man you'd appreciate the irony of you demanding Trump be jailed for the Mar a Lago raid while being perfectly okay with Hillary skating on a worse crime.
By your own logic YOU are "out of your freakin' mind".

adult you are mean and a liar but not stupid. Stop it with this one year return nonsense.
The US stock market is up 7.89% per year for 21 years.
if you started with $200 million in 2001 you'd have around a billion today. Not sure how tax affects that but not a huge amount.
I picked that starting date because that's when the ETF 'VTI' started and it covers the entire stock market.

Hillary didn't steal and conceal classified and top secret documents from the Federal government and then refuse two subpoenas. She was investigated, and it was determined that what she did was improper but didn't rise to the level of being prosecuted.
What Trump has done here is MUCH worse. You are an idiot.

That was also the inception day for Hussman Strategic - $10,000 invested in Hussman at that date would be worth $10,600 today. In the S & P, $50,000.

Great rebuttal!
At least you're bright enough to tell when you've lost an argument.

He would be worth ~$16 billion had he just invested the money Daddy gave him. He owns next to none of that "real estate empire." It's all either just a licensing agreement, or he has loans on it out the wazoo. Oh, and the $3.1 figure was from before he was President...that dropped to ~$2.3 billion somewhere in there and now is estimated to be back up to $3 billion...so a loss of $100 million dollars minimum while he was the most powerful person on the planet.
Every business he started that wasn't given to him by Daddy has failed.
I, on the other hand have started two businesses in my lifetime, both of which were profitable, and one of which made me a self-made multi-millionaire...with NO help from Daddy or anyone else.

With Biden in office, you might never become a billionaire (at least in today's dollars) even if you did throw the money in an indexed fund. The CPI is up 12.65% since Biden took office and the markets are mixed in that time (DOW and S&P are up slightly, while the NASDAQ is down quite a bit). Assuming the market was flat, that $900 million would only be worth $786 million in 02/2021 dollars. Even if you were able to get a 5% return, you would only be worth about $840 million in 02/2021 dollars. Bidenflation is a killer.
You are 2/3 right. He's mean and a liar and stupid. Sorry agip, but he's stupid. Outrageously stupid.
In no way is he stupid. This man understands how people think and what makes them happy. He is able to reach people, even people who have nothing in common with him. He did it with the Apprentice and he did it as candidate and President. His knack for picking out nicknames with which to belittle his opponents is without parallel. His ability to pay back those who cross him is outstanding. Oppose him at your own risk.

Meh. The stock market goes up over time regardless of who is in office. It's unfair, but governments around the world goose the market all the time because they value wealthy people more than poor people, so this is why the markets will continue to out pace inflation over time.

Trump inherited in 1974. Flagpole thinks he's be the richest man alive he started in Trump's place.
The market went down 27% in 1974.
In 1973 the Dow closed at 850.86.
The Dow didn't break 850 again until 1980.
If you put all of your money in the stock market in 1965 you wouldn't have even gotten your money back up to your initial investment until 1982.
It is pathologically idiotic to pretend someone like Flagpole could ever become a billionaire... lol.

Well, YOU are stupid, because my comments there were about the poster to whom I was referring, not Trump.
Now, regarding Trump, he does know how to affect people. I wouldn't call that evidence of intelligence though, and he clearly is not a smart man as he has suggested we nuke hurricanes and inject disinfectants into our bodies. He was also called the dumbest student he ever had by one of his college professors, so I think that has merit.
