Not even trying
I didn't vote for him but I wish him the best because I'm not a butthurt pussy.
I guess that would make him successful.I'm not sure we use the same definition of "good".
My subjective view is that he's really not a very good person.
As for his success, I read somewhere that if he'd taken the inheritance from his father and simply invested in safe bonds, he would have more money than all his business efforts generated.
Hard to know ....Is he even a billionaire at all? Nobody in this thread even knows the answer
Trump is a lot more experienced in business and management
Certainly from a Buddhist perspective he is not. He's an egotistical goofball pitchman.... I do believe in his own warped way he loves his family, his country etc. and in his whacky perspective are the reasons he chose to run and try and straighten some of stupid shit out that is going on in the U.S. today. Certainly it is driven by a HUGE ego so that he can leave a sparkling legacy of Donald Trump. Not especially going the way he would like right now and I'm sure there will be more surprises as this unfolds.
Watch as every decision he makes is for his own pockets and not for the people. I hope he does a great job, but he built a campaign on fear-mongering and outright lies that people believe because they can't fact check things for themselves. And it just kept on going including yesterday when his office simultaneously claimed that the inauguration was the largest crown AND that objections to that claim cannot be taken truthfully because there are no official counts. LOL. what an idiot.
...except that, well, you know, government ISN'T business.
Trump, he has made politics dirty. It will never be the same
Maybe what is giving everyone pains, he didn't have a problem getting dirty himself.
Lets balance this, really. Clinton's resume was padded by the system (moved her to New York, put in a Secretary of State position) . I mean, that is the way the system works, sure, but look at it for what it is. Obama had no experience and just one term as a senator. I still don't see what either of those two really accomplished other than the system groomed them to be their front runner.
Trump, like it or not, earned his way to the front. While everyone else was pretending not to lie, he wasn't pretending. I really don't see any difference in this guy and the traditional politicians except, the traditional politicians have "enforcers" (people who do the dirty work) and he did his own dirty work.
I really see very little difference other than appearance.
And when it comes to facts, most facts are bullshit, wrapped around supporting bullshit, to back up the bullshit.
You're naive if you really think that.
No. Government is public sector, business is private sector. This isn't some new idea or a generational concept - government is not business and should not be run like one.
The former CEO of the corporation called the United States of America, spent 97 million just in vacations for he and his family.
You go sit in on any city council meeting and you'll quickly see it is in fact business. Its just about money.
And as an aside. The former CEO of the corporation called the United States of America, spent 97 million just in vacations for he and his family.
I haven't taken a vacation in 8 years, yet I get to help pay for his.
FYI fact check...Donald's Dad's net worth is estimated at somewhere between 250 and 300 million at his expiration. Donald is one of 5 children....based on him getting one fifth of 300 million gets him a solid 60 million....I need to know ASAP what safe bonds to invest in that will turn that into even one billion in 17 years
Trump's net worth has grown about 300% to an estimated $4 billion since 1987, according to a report by the Associated Press. But the real estate mogul would have made even more money if he had just invested in index funds. The AP says that, if Trump had invested in an index fund in 1988, his net worth would be as much as $13 billion.
The S&P 500 has grown 1,336% since 1988.
Other billionaires' net worths have beaten the stock market's growth in that time. Bill Gates, for example, saw his grow increase 7,173% since 1988 to $80 billion. Warren Buffet's wealth grew 2,612% in the same time period, to $67.8 billion.
