As explained above, if Trump had just put his $$$ in the stock market, he would have made much more money than investing in his "failed business ventures". He has money because he was GIVEN money, not because he earned it.
Oh, so now you are a money making guru? Is there anything you can't do?
What you're saying is that people who pass down control of businesses and companies (no matter how big or small) to their sons/daughters are really just a bunch of deadbeats that didn't earn it.
Got it.

which means as taxpayers we don't have to give money to the deadbeat government to dole out to others deemed as deadbeats......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I wonder if Bucky is stoned??? He seems in a fog.
I have nothing against anyone giving money to their kids. In most cases it sounds like a reasonable thing to do. If you try to read my original post S L O W L Y... the point was that Trump LOST MONEY, with his business dealings. Had he just invested it in a number of funds he would have been far ahead of his present wealth. HIS BUSINESS DECISIONS LOST HIM MONEY, NOT MADE HIM MONEY.

But just how savvy of a businessman is Trump? Apparently not quite as savvy as he makes himself out to be, according to a new analysis of his finances by S.V. Dáte at the National Journal. Had Trump never gone into the business world and simply invested his share of his father's real estate company into a mutual fund of S&P 500 stocks in the 1970s, he'd be worth around the same amount that he is today. It's a reminder that the biggest reason he has so much wealth, as Vox's Dylan Matthews points out, is because he was born into it.

Trump claims his fortune exceeds $10 billion, Trump is an unreliable source on how much he's worth, having admitted to exaggeration in the past and even confessing that his public estimates vary based on his "own feelings." Bloomberg estimates the real-estate magnate is worth $2.9 billion, and Forbes reports that it's around $4 billion. Other estimates from legal proceedings and past journalistic investigations in the not-too-distant-past have put his net worth at significantly less than $1 billion.
Trump promotes himself as a "BUSINESSMAN"... In reality Trump is a "SHOWMAN", not a successful Businessman.

AFL-CIO PRES: ‘PROBABLY EVERY’ UNION MEMBER SAYS ‘AMEN’ AFTER HEARING DONALD TRUMP BLAST UNFAIR TRADE DEALS
The Associated Press by TONY LEE7 Sep 201513
In remarks that show how much Donald Trump may resonate with Reagan Democrats in a general election, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka conceded that probably all of his union members say “amen” when they hear Donald Trump blasting unfair trade deals that hurt American workers.
On Sunday, Meet The Press host Chuck Todd asked Trumka, “how many of your members hear Donald Trump talk about bad trade deals and say ‘amen?'”
Trumka responded that “probably every one that hears him say it’s a bad trade deal… they say amen that bad trade deals are bad for the country.”
Trumka mentioned that those on the left like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16% have also spoken out against deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which Trump has fiercely opposed. The deal would undermine American sovereignty and potentially even allow a multinational body to rewrite some of America’s immigration laws.
Trumka also singled out Hillary Clinton for not taking a firm stance against the TPP. Clinton has tried to have it both ways on the TPP, and Trumka said that “if she doesn’t take a position on TPP, then you can say she is looking for our vote. If she does take a position on TPP, then she’s looking for our support.”http://www.breitbart.com/big-g.....mp;utm_medium=social

Trump Military Experience: "I Never Went To Vietnam, But 'I Felt That I Was In The Military" Donald Trump believes that because he attended a military high school, he has an understanding of what it is like to be in the military, despite deferring the Vietnam War draft for medical reasons.
Trump attended the New York Military Academy from eighth grade through the end of high school where he participated in military drills and encountered some instructors who had served in the military, according to the Times.
He told D'Antonio that at the academy, he got "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military."

Republicans Fear Trump Is Giving Party a Racist Image (ya think??? )
Quoted Text
“Republicans are growing increasingly concerned that Donald Trump’s inflammatory language is damaging the party, fearing that his remarks are hardening the tone of other candidates on racial issues in ways that could repel the voters they need to take back the White House,” the New York Times reports.
“Some party leaders worry that the favorable response Mr. Trump has received from the Republican electorate is luring other candidates to adopt or echo his remarks. It is a pattern, they say, that could tarnish the party’s image among minority voters.”
