The Ameяican Government Thread

You can oppose open border globalism and not be a racist, the overlap comes because racists support closed borders too.

BLM is more dangerous and racist than the KKK, and unlike Hillary, Trumps not going to give them a seat at the table.

Regardless of the work he’s done, you can’t argue that he wasn’t born on 3rd base. It would be more of a surprise if he WASN’T successful given all he started out with.

And c’mon, he didn’t write that book.

Say that to all the people who win the lottery but blow it all in a couple of years.

99% od people wouldnt have gotten to where he was. In fact the media tried painting him as an asshole just as he picked up steam because he was “cold” to his older brother by saying he was a “failure” to live up to expectations.

By your logic Steven King and Martin didn’t write their stories, almost all published books have editors & ghost writers involved in the product. 99% of books have one name on the cover 2-5 people who participated in the collaboration.

But Hillary is experienced… because her Husband was president lmao.

And yes, he started on third base because his parents weren’t fuck ups and put him there. That’s called having a productive family and coming from productive people so you can produce more.

Tell me, how many Americans have the option to run home to daddy for a million dollar loan and start a business from that? He only got to where he was off of his father’s shoulders. Fred Trump, the son of German immigrants whose father died when he was 13, started out from that age carrying lumber and becoming a carpenter. Over time, Fred Trump built a real estate empire from practically nothing. Fred’s estate was worth 250-300 million at the time of his death, equivalent to 361-433 million today. Donald Trump claims to be worth 10 billion, but he refuses to release his taxes, has shown time and time again to be very sensitive about his perceived net worth, and most realistic estimates put him at 3-5 billion. Donald Trump may be worth 10x more than his father, but was born thousands of times richer.

You can’t beat your chest over business acumen when your own father’s achievements make you look like a punk ass bitch.

I can go to a bank and get a million dollar start up loan. Not really a problem nowadays.

Although, I’m not American. But, I have a great credit rating and no criminal record - pretty sure those are all actual things that are assessed during loan applications.

Where you get your startup funding is irrelevant, it’s what you do with it that matters. He could just have easily ran himself into bankruptcy and run back to daddy for more money, but he didn’t.

(inb4 “six bankruptcies”)

Warren Buffett’s biggest tip for getting rich is to be born rich. Not surprising.

no you can’t and that’s whats funny about trump and his, I built mah company!

but peeps need to realize that 99% of people wouldn’t get that far if they had those same opportunities.

Trump: "dad, lemme borrow a dollar."
Trump’s Dad: “ok, son”

makes $3000 from that single dollar

everybody else: YOUR DAD GAVE YOU THAT, SILVERSPOON BRAT

Trump isn’t a “business genius”, he just got the capital to produce more money at very little risk. Most of his “value” comes from the Trump brand, which he didn’t even start; his father did. Trump is a lot like the Kardashians; born rich, just became famous as a symbol of wealth due to being infinitely more loud and obnoxious than the parents/ancestors who did all the real work.

And there’s more to “having your future handed to you” than the million dollars. It’s the top-quality education few Americans have access to, the connections and influence from being born into wealth, and the amount of insight/advice you can get from other people in your wealthy circle to avoid all the hard parts of gaining/maintaining wealth that those from lower/middle class backgrounds have to learn the hard way.

And my criticisms are just as valid on Hillary too. A nation that only selects its leaders from a small pool of the social elite isn’t a democracy; it’s an oligarchy posing as a republic.

And he could have blown it all. But he didn’t. He might not be the business genius, but he is far more intelligent when it comes to businesses than 99% of the population. He is far more savvy with his money that 99% of the population.

Trump is nothing like the Kardashians, he may have inherited his inital wealth but he has made a name for himself in business. He’s created more jobs and been a produced far more services and products than the kardashians have. Who still to this date are famous just because they’re a kardashian (which made no sense to me as I never heard of them until the TV show… why did they even get a TV show to begin with? What executive thought anyone would care?). None of them have stepped out and started a real business, made a name for themselves. But somehow the TV show took off and now they’re everywhere…

Mr. Trump or his kids will never get full credit for being born into the lucky sperm club. That being said, I admire their work ethic and how down to earth these people are. I’d rather have capital in working hands than someone that inherits money and just sits on it without producing anything of value.

It’s funny, people knock on Trump for being born on third base but don’t give any credit to people like Martin Shkreli that was born into a poor Albanian family and rose all the way to becoming a multimillionaire without anyone helping him. Instead he’s called scum lol

He’s called scum because of what he tried to do recently with that price gouging. Nobody knew of him before that.

When you get rich, never speak publicly, always hire a spokesperson to represent you. So many rich people fucked up I thought they learned the lesson already.

Becoming rich by exploiting the pharmaceutical industry =/= self made man

Coming up from a middle class family to being a millionaire == self made man.

I don’t condone his price gouging (even though typically no one actually pays those prices except for insurance companies). He has done some charity work with his money though, so he isn’t all bad.

that’s how you get rich though.

You don’t get wealthy having a small business. That’s chump change that puts you in the highest tier of middle class. The only way to become wealthy is to exploit something. Wheater it be expolit people’s insecurities, their wants, needs, or particular law, that’s the only way to be wealthy in this country. Now wheather or not that’s ethical that’s another discussion, but that martin dude is rich for a reason and we aren’t. There’s a reason why Buffet is the richest man on earth and not somebody else. Luck and ability to fuck people and or systems over is key to being wealthy

At Trump’s NH speech on the 25th, and days before at other speeches, he describes the crime and violence the black community lives with. He said they can be shot walking down the street. Hillary Clinton and Democrats dismissed this as an exaggeration and bigotry, like they always do. Dwyane Wade’s cousin died the next day from gun fire pushing a stroller down the street. Trump was right again.

I smell a childless commie.

WTF, You act like people should knee cap their children at birth for equality and then thrown in the street so they learn how it’s done in the hood.

It’s a not a few anyone can go to a good college in this country if they put in the smallest bit of effort.

I am an mechanical engineer and I lived in a POS ghetto, it was a afternoon of paperwork for loans, QQ.
