I'm not really a Trump supporter, I'm just not a hillary fanboy, like you are. I just don't choose to ignore one candidates momentous flaws, while putting the other on sort of flawless pedestal.

Trump didn't just get 1 million (which in the 70s would be about 6 times that amount today), he got the special treatment and connections only the son of a self made multimillionaire could get. He also got most of his dad's wealth through inheritance when he died, which was about 200m. Considering the aforementioned points, he shouldn't really be going bankrupt in any business venture, let alone 4 or whatever it was. All his 'businesses' are just him licensing out his name for other companies to use, it don't impress me much.

and when the business loser tries to branch out you end up random money grab failures like Trump steaks, vodka, and university

His only success is like his surrogate stimpy6298 said, he didn't blow his inheritance on PCP like athletes do

Yeah, that's not true, at all really. He did only receive one million $. Then turned it into a multi-billion dollar empire. Sure, he might have had connections but it's a rather large stretch to suggest his wealth is attributed to "special treatment" There's nothing but speculation on how much he received from his father. The estate was estimated at $100 - $300 million & he has 4 siblings. I highly doubt Trump received $200 m.. But yeah, let's focus on the 4 times his companies have gone bankrupt & not focus on the hundreds that are successful. Didn't every casino in AC go bankrupt because nobody goes to AC over Vegas, but yeah, it was trumps fault.

The hundreds of companies that pay him to use his name that are successful, you mean? Do you think he would have made anything of himself if he wasn't the son of a multimillionaire investor? Trump's siblings hardly got any inheritance, he made sure that he shut his brother out of the inheritance at least. A quick google search tells me he got $40m in 1974 from daddy.

Does it worry you that if Trump put all the money he got from daddy into index funds he'd be richer than he is now? Actually that's unfair, because we don't even know how rich he is. I personally think it's in the hundreds of millions, not billions!

Sure, but isn't that a testament to the his brand that's he's built ? No I don't, haha. Although that's kind of like me asking if you think Hillary would be where she is today if she wasn't married to Bill. Probably not.

Well, not really. In hindsight, sure that was probably the way to go. However he didn't, & he's still a multi-billionaire through his own investments and dealings. I'd say that's somewhat impressive! Haha, no way is he not even worth a single B...Just like there's probably no way he's worth the 8 or 10 B he claims

I just released my financial disclosure form as well

My house and property are worth 10 billion right up until I file taxes then I drop it down about 10 billion

The foundation for his brand was built by his dad and Donald's wealth, opportunity, and significant head start to the world were inherited as well.

He hasn't achieved much on his own . Even his campaign isn't impressive as it's easy to rile up the people that he is exciting with the rhetoric he is using.

It's funny that the party of no free rides is embracing a guy that has enjoyed one his entire life

Yes we get it no matter the post or context you will make it anti-Trump. Trump saved some puppies? Well they will probably grow up to get rabies and bite kids. You're like a meme you want to rid the world of.

The companies pay him so much because his brand and name is worth that to them
As for the bold:
lol????
