My Dad Gave Me A Small Loan of A Million Dollars....It Has Not Been Easy

[the_human_being]

Damn! Why couldn't Trump get his money the old-fashioned way like from his daddy's bootlegging business a la president Kennedy, or marrying fabulously wealthy woman like presidential wannabe Kerry, or maybe chasing ambulances like the philandering Johnny Edwards?

Because being a slum lord is far more profitable.

Yeah, because we all know what a "slum" Trump tower is.

Trump's use of shoddy construction is well known.

and that doesn't even begin to consider how badly he screwed his vendors, investors, etc., when he bellied up his corporations four times.

Another whiner. You can't carry water for him.

You'll have to excuse me if I don't shed a tear for those claiming not to have had it 'easy' despite being winners in the ovarian lottery. There is nothing wrong with coming from a wealthy family and gaining an inheritance but act don't like you really struggled.

Trump isn't whining that he was poor, you petulant dolt. He's pointing out that he built his fortune through his own efforts, and it was not an easy task.

Now go back to your sleazy dishonest spinning.

I am sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your fluff session. I should have knocked first. lol

It is unmistakable Trump had a leg up when came to building his fortune. Get over yourself.

FDR had a "leg up" and especially so did the political dynasty of the Kennedy family. Everybody admired Camelot even though old Joe made his money rum running and none of the Kennedy brothers ever had a real job. Now the socialist hypocrites come out of the political closet and make fun of a guy who parlayed a million into a billion with a real job.

glad you mentioned it. the difference is those men felt that because they were so privileged, they had an obligation to those who were not born into wealth.

see the difference? or is it beyond you?

 

[nuhuh]

It illustrates Donald Trump's lack of good business sense when he could have taken that money invested it in the stock market and enjoyed a fortune many, many, times than would he ended up with by using his business acumen. Wharton didn't do him any good at all.

Not everyone does the same thing. I never played the stock market. I depended upon my own self and my own business - not someone else's business.

Donald Trump took the money and played his father's game, he could have done much, much, better playing the market. It goes to business sense.

He could have lost it all in the stock market too.

Not if he went S&P.

Well, some of pursue other vocations. Get used to it. If everyone invested in the S&P, who would actually build things?

Goes to his business acumen, for someone who went to Wharton I would think he would have known better.

 

[nuhuh]

Yeah, using the public's money to overcome your cash flow problem is exactly the same as being a social welfare leech..

Not if you provide something to the public they would otherwise not get. There's a difference in using something while producing a return and using something then producing nothing.

LOL, your rationale is wonderful. Erase your debt as long as you provide housing for the rich.

He provided something. That you don't like it is tough shit.

He provided something by having the public pick up his debt. He's no better than the welfare leeches you scorn.

What have the welfare leeches provided? He produced a return. Where's there return on the $22 trillion wasted on them?

The public produced that return, he did not.

You wish you could live in one of his slums.

he doesn't build slums. but he did leave at least one property in a slum-like condition.

Donald j. trump state park is just one of his failed investments. there are many others where people invested in his name and he scerwed them.

Donald J. Trump State Park

the Donald is not half the man his dad was. Fred Trump was a truly great American.

Wow, what a hard luck story. If Donald had only inherited $100 million I can't imagine the pain he would have to endure. This ranks right up there with Mitt Romney quotes about asking your parents for a loan to start a business. One thing's for sure....Donald didn't build that.

"As Donald Trump tells it, he has been told no his entire life. For example, he said Monday, his father gave him a "small loan of a million dollars" that he had to repay with interest at the start of his career.

“Oh many times. I’ve been told no by him. My whole life, really has been a no," the Republican presidential candidate said during a town hall event in Atkinson, New Hampshire, on NBC's "Today."


“It has not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me. I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars," Trump remarked. "I came into Manhattan, and I had to pay him back, and I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan and I started buying properties, and I did great."

I think his dad also left him over $100,000 when he died.

the Donald is clueless.

You think or you can prove?

I bet you also think that part of that should be taken and handed to someone other than who his dad wanted it to go to.

prove what? that he's clueless? he's proven it himself.

did I say "hand" it to someone else?

you need to stop melting down and read.

your problem is you're so irrational about anyone who isn't a rightwingnut that you can't even engage about the fact that trump's statement that he had it hard was laughable.

You said you think his dad left him $100,000. Prove it.

Do you believe Hillary's statement that she and Bill were broke when they left the White House in 2001?

More stupid deflection? I live in a pretty nice area, I would never live in a Trump building way too gaudy.

You mean the public that did nothing to turn it into what it is?

Why don't you tell me what type of return the public that got $22 trillion produced.

The company I work at used to be family owned. As each "kid" reached 21, they were given a million dollars. True Story.

========
Dig into a companies financial disclosures and take their PROFIT and divide it by the number of employees to see how much each one makes the company. Of course that is an average and some employees do more for the company than others. But it shows you an average of how much each employee makes the company. Not at all unusual for a company to make a million or more from each employee while paying them 30 - 50 K. Is that fair? I don't think so.

I didn't go to Wharton and I'm doing just fine. I went to VPI.

Absolutely not!! They stole the silverware out of the White House.

The stupidest thing about this post is that 'nuhuh' chose to go after Donald Trump over THIS quote instead of him saying / tweeting, "Trump defends Islamic head coverings, says women want to wear them: "It's easy—you don’t have to put on makeup.”

The fact that he doesn't know women are forced by Muslims, who oppress them and see them as property (and who evidently donate a lot of money to Hillary's campaign), to wear these garments is more shocking than a billionaire thinking a million dollars isn't a lot of money.

(No insult meant, nuhuh - just pointing out there are more, easier, things to pick on Trump about.)

Donald Trump is worth $9 billion. If he started with that $1 million and turned it into $9 billion, that's a 9000% return. I would say he played the game well.

Donald Trump is worth $4 billion he started with $1 million and then $199million on top of that.I'd say it would be hard not to do well with that kind of gift.

It's more than easy to fritter away a fortune. Just look at all the musicians, movie stars and athletes who passed away their fortunes.

Seems he overcame it to be worth BILLIONS. Social welfare leeches have been handed money only to continue being leeches.

It's also a big fat lie. Some of Trump's former companies declared bankruptcy, none of which he had a controlling interest in.

There are other things about Donald Trump that I'll get to, after all, we have a year to do it.
