I wonder how much he donates to charity out of that 8.7b$

He values his assets at $8.7 billion, he has a shitload of debt which cancels much of that out. Also he values the Trump name at $3 billion.

The guy on the UK version of the Apprentice is the Amstrad dude but I'm not sure he's done anything in a while. Maybe he should run for president too, he's definitely rich enough to buy a fake passport, and I'm pretty sure he's over 35.

Wait, is this a real policy of his? Does he really want to make a foreign country, one of our closest allies and trade partners, pay for a huge useless public works project under threat of force with the justification that he thinks its population is worthless scum that shouldn't be allowed into our country? This is an idea that he and his supporters think is morally upright and will bolster our reputation abroad? They're proud of this idea and have deemed it worthy of publication? :allears: Trump is my favorite. He is an overflowing fountain of comedy.

He's a clown and a buffoon, but many Presidents have been clowns and buffoons. That's not a deal breaker.

In truth, I've seen the news make some hay about his "rambling speech" but, having read the transcript, I'd have to admit that he's got a message that will resonate with TV watching middle-America. Did someone write that speech for him? Probably, but he's got some of the better talking points. He's very open about saying the war in Iraq was a mistake and that the TPP is a mistake. That's two things most of the other big names in the race aren't saying and really ought to.

He'll never win and would be a bad President, but I wouldn't fault people for rallying behind him on a few issues (though it doesn't sound like you were specifically talking issues with your co-workers). gently caress, if I had to pick one, Trump might be my GOP primary vote. Or maybe Rand Paul.

Trump is going to lose but mark my words, on January whatever 2017 when Clinton/Bernie is sworn into office, he'll claim 100% responsibility for Obama being out of office because of his tireless birth certificate efforts, and 100% of republicans will agree with him because they are morons of the highest order

Donald Trump has attracted the attention of GOP kingmaker Karl Rove

Karl Rove posted:

I do think there are sort of three tiers of candidates. There are three candidates who, in reverse alphabetical order, Walker, Rubio, Bush, or alphabetical order, Bush, Rubio, Walker, or inside out order, Rubio, Walker, Bush, or Rubio Bush, Walker - that's the top tier. We're likely to see the nominee come out of that group.

We have a second tier which includes people like Ted Cruz and Governor [Rick] Perry and Ben Carson and maybe a couple of others. And one or two, you know, one or, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum. Maybe one of those gets into the top tier. But right now they're on the second tier.

And then we've got sort of the third tier which are people who really are unlikely to break through. They're good people, some of them, but they're unlikely to break through. Or, in the case of Donald Trump, they're complete idiots. [laughter, applause]

This guy is going places!

lol yeah it's gonna be quite the trainwreck

from picking white house staff and making appointments

quote:

The executive Trump selected to run his loan company, E.J. Ridings, claimed to have been a top executive at a prestigious investment bank. In reality, Ridings' highest role on Wall Street was as a registered broker, a position he held for a mere six days.

to foreign policy

quote:

Trump bemoaned U.S. costs sustained during its wars in the Middle East and floated the idea of "taking" Iraqi oil. Stephanopoulos countered incredulously, "So, we steal an oil field?" Trump responded, "Excuse me. You're not stealing anything. You're taking — we're reimbursing ourselves."

to fiscal responsibility

quote:

In 1990, the banking institutions that backed his real estate investments had to bail him out with a $65 million "rescue package" that contained new loans and credit. But it wasn't enough, and nine months later the famous developer was nearly $4 billion in debt.
