LOL it turns out Trump may not even be a billionaire

Trump is doing OK. He can probably run 10 elections. True net worth is probably 2-4 billion.

Trumps balance sheet is very difficult to put numbers to, I think we will see two credible examiners look at Trumps and give us results that vary that much. The D's think that once they see it and lowball the numbers that they can mock Trump by laughing at his HUUGE wealth, that this will get under his skin and thus cause him to make mistakes, as well as will convince a lot of voters that Trump is a liar who actual cant get things done. They are delusional. We will instead be envious of how well he plays at being a billionaire will as little liquid wealth that he has.

Don't, just don't. I was embarrassed and kinda ticked in 2012 at that argument as you might remember.

File this under "hilarious if true".



:lol: So, the only financial institution ever to actually get a look at Donald's finances concluded he wasn't even a billionaire, much less a deca-billionare, and the only court ever to get discovery concluded as well that he was lying about his wealth. :D

Yeah, this was out there at the beginning of the race. He's a blowhard. There's no telling what he is worth, and there may be different ways to tally that. In any case, he's really really rich. He's bankrolling his own presidential campaign.

They're all stinkin' rich, except Rubio (who will soon be very very rich because he ran in a presidential race). They can't relate to the middle class at all. And not a one of 'em has ever been grocery shopping, I'd guess.

Huh?

Sanders net worth is around $300,000. Rubio and Cruz grew up poor, and Carson grew up impoverished.

I'm sorry you can't read. Let me repeat for you: Rubio is soon to be a rich man, since he's running in the presidential race. I didn't mention Sanders, but that applies to him, too. If there's one sure way to make a lot of money, it's running for president. Ask Huckleberry who now has a big mansion somewhere that he bought after he ran for President.

Carson is a multi-millionaire.

As I said, I doubt any of them have done the grocery shopping.

Then would that make his FEC filing a matter of perjury if his claims are waaaayyy off from true?

Depends, I suppose. Apparently he claims that a large chunk of that is the value of his last name, which he says is alone worth billions.

Corporate assets, and individual assets are two different animals. He is heavily leveraged, which is a smart way to operate in a volatile real estate and construction business, by having the lenders putting some skin in the game.

Even if he is only worth 788 Million.................. I'd love to have that problem.

Hmmm how does one pay for the Trophy wives on that kinda dough?

What scares me more is more of the same we've had for the past 50 years.

Actually not true. What I am is an establishment non supporter. The establishment has made a mess of things over the past 50 years.

It is. Trump attracts the angry, ignorant, uneducated racists. He is an embarrassment.

so his supporters only fall into one of those four categories?

wow...not biased in any way now are you?

lmfao

:lamo
 
A lot of Trump's wealth is in investments. For example, stocks..and bonds are pathetic performers, lately.

The stock market has been a biotch, lately, and his wealth may have fluctuated, somewhat.

Do you see Trump's motivation to play hardball with China?

I have had chronic back pain for 30 years. Your solution seems to be to hit my toe with a hammer, because it would be a different pain.

Well, all you have to do is look at the people who love him. They don't need specifics, because dog whistle bumper sticker statements will do.

one of the CFO's i know is a big Trump supporter. He is sick and tired of the same **** year after year in DC. He is hoping that Trump will drastically change DC forever.

will it? i dunno...

i would have never thought he would get this far, or be this popular....tells me how much i know

If it comes down to Trump versus Hillary....for me, it is an easy vote for Trump

i would rather he not be the one against her....but i just can see that lying witch controlling DC....

In that case there is no solution for incompetent government.

Perhaps that is why I'm not a Trump supporter. However, I am angry.

Actually the solution to your back problem is to get rid of the back problem. Once that's gone then take a look at that toe.

Doing more of the same doesn't fix anything.

The fear mounts. Classic.
Click to expand...

Some people embrace the painfully misguided notion that it somehow gives their position extra points if they accuse any critics of "fear". Where on Earth did they get this idea? Did Sarah Palin once claim her critics actually feared her when they mocked her drivel or something?




(Anyway, sane people really would fear Trump as Preisdent. But "fear" is not what was going on in the OP)
