Trump got $413,000,000.00 from daddy

Stretch said:
I also don't recall any of them saying that dad started them all off with bucks for schooling or political careers.
Trump's dad started him off in business.
No big difference. Not even knocking the Kennedy kids for their wealthy upbringing. Not knocking Trump for it either.
Close-knit wealthy families are able to do that.

Trump lied about how much he got - by a lot. A lot.

Show me where the Kennedys tried to pretend like Trump did. Find a quote. You posted your little "laughing hysterically" response. Back it up.

Even setting aside the ethical and legal implications of this conduct, it really underscores a key fact about Trump that right-wingers never really got: he was a singularly incompetent business man. When you look at how his net worth moved over time, it was already clear that the return he was getting on his money was far below what any moron with a passively managed index fund would have gotten in the same era. And once you consider that was despite getting these regular infusions of additional wealth from his father, over time (including a large inheritance), it becomes clear his investment return was just a small fraction of the average market return. You literally could have blindly thrown darts at a list of stocks every year and outperformed Trump's business empire by a very large margin. He was utterly inept. After his father died and he could not longer rely on these repeated infusions of unearned wealth, he tried to make up for it by relying more and more on outright scams, like Trump University, to try to avoid additional bankruptcies. When even those began to dry up, as he exhausted his pool of available suckers, he relied more on laundering money for the Russians and accepting sweetheart deals from Putin-connected oligarchs.

Trump's BASE bought into what they saw on "The Apprentice" (NBC reality show) HOOK, LINE and SINKER.
They didn't realize that the board room at "Trump Tower" wasn't even a real office in the real Trump Tower, it was a specially constructed set built in a studio.
The REAL office in the real Trump Tower was in terrible shape. It looked bad and it even SMELLED bad, and it was outdated and in disrepair.

Trump's base bought into a carefully crafted illusion, and it is an illusion which continues to this day.

I have no problem with Kennedy money, Trump money, Vanderbilt money, Whitney money, Carnegie money, etc.

Do you have a problem w/ lying?

You're trying to move the goalposts now, because you embarrassed yourself w/ that "laughing hysterically" response. It's actually great to see.

Yes? If you say so. Did they lie? Did we get suckered? Did we deny the fact once laid bare.

Fuck you we are at war. You don't care about truth.

Nothing matters but power. So we will bury you assholes.

However much the abomination, Donald Trump, got from his father...

...the bottom line is that he is a man functioning like a child...with a fifth grader mind, vocabulary, and speaking ability.

My opinion: Ethically, Trump is the dirtiest president we've ever had...and I think he will spend his post-presidential years fighting to stay out of prison. He is petty, vindictive, totally without class, and devoid of any sense of loyalty to those in his sphere of influence.

Don't get me wrong. Donald Trump is not the lowest form of human on my list of low-life humans.

People who still support him are much lower.

I don’t know that they’re lower ethically. They are more gullible, more stupid and willfully ignorant

Why do you people say that about any source that disagrees with your worldview, yet would not call Faux News partisan, or unreliable? Do you have some source that proves them wrong, or is it just the usual useful idiot rambling? Did you read the report? How many times did Daddy Trump bail out Trump? How many times did the Saudi's? Was TrumpU a fraud? How many times has Trump been sued for not paying his bills? How many of his contractors, and creditors, has he put in bankruptcy due to his shady business dealings?

And that is who you defend.

You have no idea what media I read or how I get my information. You are just doing what folks like you do best. Rambling on incoherently, lamely attempting to sound intelligent. That may work for some, not for me.

The NYT is probably the best journalistic outlet in existence. That's not to say they're perfect, but they have solid fact-checkers, a serious ombudsman function, and a willingness to print prominent retractions when they get something wrong. There's a reason they have far and away the most Pulitzer Prizes of any newspaper, and have their pick of top investigative reporters and editorial writers. They're the gold standard of journalism in this country, and arguably the world.

Not even close. Partisan hackery at its finest maybe, that is about it. Other than the food section.

You mean like "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor"? Apparently you don't have a problem with lying.
