Of course no one seems to know what DT is really worth. Donald has claimed 10 billion.

Quote:
When Bloomberg ran a tally this week of all of his major assets, including stock holdings and the value of properties like golf courses and luxury towers, it came up with $3 billion. Forbes, after interviews with 80 sources and a piece by piece look at Trump’s empire, concluded $4.5 billion.

The Bloomberg analysis, however, relies at least in part on statements Trump himself made in financial disclosure forms, while Forbes has always had to rely on information given by the Trump Organization — and Forbes has admitted that Trump consistently pushes for a higher valuation. Fortune also caught him conflating revenue and income in his campaign filing reports and thereby significantly inflating how much income he says he has.

If he's 5, he could be the glass half-full or glass half-empty. That's not a definitive ruling. It's ambiguous at best. It's middle of the road. He did average on the self-made list.

The point is, any good amount you make by
your own initiative over what you inherit,
makes you self made to one degree or
another. Reason being, most people who
inherit don't so squat with it. Trump took
a modest amount by inheritance standards
and turned it into a giant amount, and
created a world famous brand to go with
it. And you just can't stand it, which I think
is hilarious. He built an empire and he certainly
didn't inherit one. According to Forbes, he
inherited a 'small family business', which is
exactly what it was.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

He gets a 5 out 10. That's what you showed me. That's makes him just average in the self-made department if that's their criteria.

You might as well point out his gpa was a 2.5 or that his shoe size is 10.5.

I hear his hands are really small though.

Trump is lying and pretending to be somebody else
Trump called up reporters pretending to be somebody else, John Miller.
When confronted with the recording, he totally lies about it.

In the last 9 elections, according to Pew exit polls, the GOP candidate won 21% to 40% of the Hispanic vote. I think Trump will break those limits.
