Oh yeah he's a real rags to riches story. He got a "small" $100m loan from daddy and then inherited his real estate business and *still* has a string of bankruptcies behind him (including a casino ffs, how do you now make money owning a casino?). It's widely accepted that he'd have more money now if he'd just put what he inherited in the bank.

From Wiki - Wealth of Donald Trump - Wikipedia

A 2016 analysis of Trump's business career in The Economist concluded that his performance since 1985 had been "mediocre compared with the stock market and property in New York".[43] A subsequent analysis in The Washington Post similarly noted that Trump's estimated net worth of $100 million in 1978 would have increased to $6 billion by 2016 if he had invested it in a typical retirement fund, and concluded that "Trump is a mix of braggadocio, business failures, and real success."

No matter how much money he actually has he is still a complete clueless dick.

He's made good and bad investments like everybody else, he's selling a brand to the public, you don't get to put your name on life like he has by quietly investing in safe bets and leading a simple life.

...But you do make more money that way.

If you compare him to his self-promoting peers (in other words people for whom the brand is themselves, the Beardy Bransons of this world) he doesn't stack up well at all given what he actually started with.

Take a minute to watch Trump playing the crowd...not exactly presidential, but this is the stuff that the press cherry pick to make him look like a total idiot.

Its a style I guess and its working.
You wont see this obviously on European msm.

So the Dems are turning on themselves and pointing out that black people arent voting for black candidates.

Fucking what.
Imagine them suggesting white people should only vote for white candidates.

Stupid black.people voting for the best candidate...actually listening to what Martin said.

Did you read the article at all? It simply states poll findings and interviews people to ask about their preferred candidate

At no point does it suggest anyone should vote purely based on skin colour of the candidate.

If they decide to remove Trump from office it will destroy America.

One half will be delirious the other half will see it as an attack on them personally.

The reality is the the dems are going for the .....'republicans are all corrupt' angle and they'll have to play it just right in the senate, could well be a pivotal point in US politics.

But they are all corrupt. They want a 'trial' with no witnesses and no evidence, held in the middle of the night.

It would be exactly the same if the roles were reversed.

Clinton ignored his impeachment

Its just how it rolls.
