Trump is alot of things but "good with money" isn't in his top ten...
"Ultimately, in the early 1990s, Trump’s winning streak ground to a halt. The national economy started to slow down, and New York's economy stalled, causing Trump’s income streams to dwindle. Soon, he found it difficult to make the interest payments on the debt he'd accrued to finance his different businesses. Trump's annual loan payments were $300 million. The Trump Organization and its subsidiaries owed $9 billion, and Trump's personal debt totaled $975 million."

Aside from the various loans he took out from his father, I don't know nor do I care about his inheritance (since when is that a bad thing.) I highly doubt every dime in his account was inherited.Chizzang wrote:Wow...Ibanez wrote: Trumps full of shit, no doubt.

Firstly
It's called "Inheritance"
Trump Inherited all his money from papa Trump
Second
Trump lost 9 Billion in the mid 1990's and was saved by bankruptcies
He's technically lost 3.5 times more money that he's ever made - that is NOT a financial genius

What's your IQ dude, you're starting to scare me
You said financial genius, not I, so I don't know why you keep bringing that up.
Want to bring IQ in this, Mr. Elitist? My IQ is high enough to know that there's no way in hell i'd vote for Trump, Clinton or anyone associated with the RNC and DNC. You're having trouble seeing the difference between Trumps companies filing for Chap 11 and the fact that Trump personally never has. There's a difference in the two.

You are smarter than this. Try comparing how much money the average person puts at risk in a casino compared to how much the average person puts at risk on the lottery. In addition, "casino" revenues also include hotel, entertainment, dining, merchandise, etc.

Hillary's Trump victim.. Oops..
"Sex on a reality TV show, a Playboy photo shoot, a threat to kill a judge and claims that a drug lord fathered her baby: Behind Alicia Machado, the Hillary Clinton campaigner 'fat-shamed' by Trump
Alicia Machado's life has been turned upside down after Hillary Clinton used her to show Donald Trump's sexism for 'fat-shaming' her in 1996
News reports in Spanish indicate that she fathered a child with a notorious Mexican drug kingpin, something she denies
The witness who testified about that relationship was killed by a hitman
Venezuelan judge accused her of threatening to kill him for charging her boyfriend with attempted murder in a case where she drove getaway car
Machado wouldn't deny that on CNN Tuesday night: 'I'm not a saint girl. ... that happened 20 years ago'
She also appeared in a 2005 Spanish reality TV show, having sex with a fellow contestant on-camera
She moaned: 'What a tasty d***' as she was seen having sex with a Spanish actor; she was engaged to Major League Baseball player Bobby Abreu
Shuttered her Twitter account in 2010 after wishing for 'peace between the Chinas' – mistaking China for North and South Korea..."

Re: Presidential Debate Thread- #1
Nice try BDK. Trump is losing on this one. And the more he and his fans attack the woman the worse it's going to be for him. Yes, people who are already solidly for him love hearing it. But it's not helping him.
BTW, he's lying about saving her from losing the Miss Universe crown. From http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter ... a-machado/:
A general comment on Trump's dishonesty level during the debate itself from the Washington Post:
That's why the Trump campaign doesn't like Fact checking.
Pretty much captures the situation: Clinton is not the most honest person in the world. But compared to Trump she's a paragon of honestly. He's about as dishonest as dishonest gets. That's what makes me shake my head when people get all pumped up about HILLARY lying. It's like: Really? You're worried about Hillary lying yet you are behind Trump? That's like worrying about some kid blowing spitballs at you when you've got some other guy spraying you with a Gatling Gun.
The way in which Trump supporters will act as though we should choose Trump because HILLARY lies would be hilarious if it didn't show such a total detachment from the obvious reality of just HOW dishonest Trump is. Trump is just flat all lies all the time.
BTW, he's lying about saving her from losing the Miss Universe crown. From http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter ... a-machado/:
Gee. Trump lying again. What a surprise.But allegations that Machado was in danger of losing her crown were not true, the Miami Herald reported in April 1997.
"We did not consider taking away her crown," Miss Universe president Maureen Reidy told the Herald. "We're not about being thin; we're about being physically fit."
A general comment on Trump's dishonesty level during the debate itself from the Washington Post:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fac ... al-debate/In the first debate between presidential contenders Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, Trump repeatedly relied on troublesome and false facts that have been debunked throughout the campaign. Clinton stretched the truth on occasion, such as when she tried to wiggle out of her 2012 praise of the Trans Pacific Partnership as a “gold standard.” But her misstatements paled in comparison to the list of Trump’s exaggerations and falsehoods.
That's why the Trump campaign doesn't like Fact checking.

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
