Turning a $1 million loan into $2.4 billion is absolutely self-made. I admire that a lot.

You had to expect it. Nothing ever that is a positive for Trump is a positive for America and Americans is a positive for democrats. They are out to destroy us.Jeez. I never expected so many negative responses.
But the point is, Donald Trump represented the very best of America. He was extremely wealthy by age 34, a self-made billionaire by 40. A brilliant, bold, organized, disciplined, confident swashbuckling kind of guy. I liked that and wanted to be that
In Mariupol, where Ukrainians were trying to fend off attack, a medical team at a city hospital desperately tries to revive a 6-year-old girl in unicorn pajamas who was mortally wounded in Russian shelling.
During the rescue attempt, a doctor in blue medical scrubs, pumping oxygen into the girl, looked directly into the Associated Press video camera capturing the scene.
“The eyes of this child, and crying doctors.”Their resuscitation efforts failed, and the girl lay dead on a gurney, her jacket spattered with blood..
You are nasty to everyone when they say something good about Trump----you like a silly vindictive child.Damn, this is the funniest, and most retarded, thread that I've seen in a long time. Thanks!
Delusional.......'He inherited hundreds of millions and father cosigned loans n stuff.![]()

Never has an American leader matched a country's personality better than President Trump.
What ain't right is that the man who could have prevented all this is the ones you leftwingers cheated out of his second term.

Five years of “NATO & CIA bad : Putin good” is DJT’s legacy., Ukrainians are dying because of it. 22FEB28-POST#0067Delusional.......
That's true.In summer 1989, my wife and I had a nonstop to Seattle. In the five-hour flight, I read The Art of the Deal from cover to cover. This was right at the time I decided to switch careers from teaching to real estate investing. I was 30 years old. That book was so motivational to me, had more sound business tips, and was so inspiring, I couldn't wait to get back home and start. That was 33 years ago, and it was the best decision I ever made.
But the point is, Donald Trump represented the very best of America. He was extremely wealthy by age 34, a self-made billionaire by 40. A brilliant, bold, organized, disciplined, confident swashbuckling kind of guy. I liked that and wanted to be that in my own sphere, though not the showy part. I wasn't going to do anything near as big as buy a landmark NYC hotel, but I was going to do my own little thing here in my mid-sized city.
Fast forward to late 1996. My wife and I were in Romania. Not far removed from Communism. The weather was overcast, bleak, lifeless. So were the people. Walking through the streets of Bucharest, the men were all dressed alike. Drab black pants, black shoes, black overcoat. They walked without energy or purpose it seemed. I was tall energetic, walked fast, wore jeans and white sneakers, and a bright red, white, and blue windbreaker. I didn't realize how I stood out, though I wasn't trying to. People looked at me. In the evening, I walked downtown to the casino. I did pretty well at blackjack. The natives didn't seem to know how to play. Nobody ever split or doubled down. I was having such a good run, people were putting their chips beside mine. Before long, the floor manager summoned me, and said I would have to remove my red, white, and blue jacket because it was too flamboyant for their tastes. Underneath I was wearing an old beat-up gray sweatshirt, but that was fine with them because it was not bright. I apologized and did what they wanted.
When I got back to the house where we were staying, I asked our native guide how I was perceived. I thought perhaps I was disliked. She said, no, the people can tell you are an American and admire that. They admire your energy, and are a bit jealous of you because of all you represent. I think I appeared to them the same way Americans see Donald Trump. Tall, energetic, can-do, very confident, maybe a little brash. Some are jealous. But this is what America is.
But is also extremely generous, giving, and caring. Just like Donald Trump. There are many stories of people Trump has helped financially without it being publicized. The media has scrubbed most of those accounts. But I remember before the big Google purge of 2016, such stories were readily found. America has always come to the aid of people in need. We are strong, confident, and giving. Never has an American leader matched a country's personality better than President Trump.
But the Marxist left doesn't want that. They want us to be like Soviet-bloc people. Bland, weak, tired, ineffectual zombie-like, and controlled. They don't want people to strive and dream and work and achieve. They don't want Donald Trumps.
It's funny, but it isn't.Damn, this is the funniest, and most retarded, thread that I've seen in a long time. Thanks!
It's funny, but it isn't.
How does such a blatant, flagrant, needy con man get away with this?
We have to look at history, and at ourselves, to figure that out.

He had Daddies help until he died.Turning a $1 million loan into $2.4 billion is absolutely self-made. I admire that a lot.

You were young and stupid. Trump was a liar,cheat and bully back then. Art of the deal is fiction.

Don’t be discouraged. What you are seeing is the leftists’ resentment toward wealthy and/or successful people. Remember, they drop people into one of two buckets - the oppressors and the oppressed - and it is all based on who are failures and who are successes.Jeez. I never expected so many negative responses.
That’s another thing. Liberals have disdain for businesspeople. I myself started and ran a successful business, and that takes discipline, motivation, hard work, intelligence, the ability to meet schedules, following laws, etc., - all things leftists hate.Are you joking? Businessmen know how to handle the economy which is powered by business. People like 0bama with no economics or business backgrounds have no clue.
This is why Trump was the most qualified president in American history and why Chimpy was the least.
I was in st Moritz in 1989. Is that the year Trump knocked up Marla Maples?Don’t be discouraged. What you are seeing is the leftists’ resentment toward wealthy and/or successful people. Remember, they drop people into one of two buckets - the oppressors and the oppressed - and it is all based on who are failures and who are successes.
it also explains why we are in a heap of trouble. A country that makes excuses for failures and has contempt for successes is a country on a rapid decline.
