Am reasonably sure Trump might have something of the nonce about him. Allegedly, etc.

I’d rather have the Kersall Massive or Beefy than the current incumbent tbh.
Even Biden would be just about better, to a marginal extent
offered because of the 'choice' offered in mainstream US politics 
offered because of the deliberate spoiler 'candidacy' 'proposed' by the 2015 Glastonbury headliner

You don't need brains to turn vast amounts of money into more money. IN fact, he could have been richer by some estimations if he hadn't used his massive interlect to make the investments he had and just stuck it in a index tracker.
Donald Trump isn't rich because he's a great investor. He's rich because his dad was rich.

What do you like about Trump anyway. What's the appeal?
I don’t but the level of tropes being spun as fact on here are depressing.
Reminds me of a comment I saw - somewhere on the internet once - that Trump was a ‘failed billionaire’.
I mean, what the actual fuck?

Think the idea is that he's a failed billionaire in that he would like to be one and ought to be one, but has too much of a tendency to lose money.
Don't know how accurate that is, and the Presidency will probably have sorted that problem for him now anyway.

I don't expect all rappers to come from the hood, but I didn't know that Kanye West was actually from a really privileged background. It's not just that his parents had decent jobs and owned their home, normal middle class. His mother was an English professor, chair of the English dept at Chicago State University - she must have worked fucking hard to get there, so good on her. But it still means Kanye was raised rich and had access to arts, contacts, money, and back-up support that most people don't have. A lot of rappers came from nothing, but Kanye West didn't. He grew up privileged. No wonder he's such a fan of Trump.

It means that he has tons of money due to inheritances but would actually have more money now if he'd let it sit in the bank and lived off some of the interest rather than invest it in his many failed businesses. He's lost more money than he's earned.

It's quite easy to become a millionaire if you start out in life as a multi millionaire.
Fuck knows tbh - I thought he was a billionaire after building an empire from a million dollar loan off his father. He also gives his Presidential pay cheque away to good causes fwiu - have other presidents done similar?
One thing is for sure - we are living in strange times.
edit: I’d say all billionaires are cunts to varying degrees.

Smart move to get off to a start like that. Steal a march on the world
Exactly.
Leaving aside all the other reasons Trump gives us to er, form opinions about the type of person he is. What's to admire about someone who inherits multi millions and manages to turn it into a couple of billion by making mistakes. That's the fucked up nature of inherited wealth. You can screw up, make bad investments and still end up pointlessly rich. Not as rich as you might have been if you'd just stuck it in a tracker. But still the kinda rich an unimaginative self regarding idiot spends on gold crap and golf.
Bezos is more evil - he’s intoxicated on capitalism and a modern slave driver - I think he gets off in fucking workers over.
A Bezos presidency would be - interesting.

Sure he does. But he also then makes millions by forcing the government to use his facilities. He says in his own hotels and makes the government pay for it.
he charges his security team to use the golf carts at his own golf courses each time he goes to it.
he is a fucking grifter of the highest order
Trump’s company charging his own Secret Service agents thousands to stay at Mar a Lago while they protect him

The Secret Service is paying $179,000 to rent golf carts at one of Trump's courses this summer
In past years, similar rentals have taken place ahead of one of Trump's visits to his club, according to The Washington Post.

Not just golf. He's spent 1/3 of his presidency in his own clubs, charging the taxpayer for the privilege. He's utter scum.
