Top Trumps?

[AlunB]

Which of course is worth about $5m in today's terms as best I can work out.

"Bloomberg puts Trump's current net worth at $2.9 billion.

"The NJ has worked out that if Trump had just put his father's money in a mutual fund which tracked the S&P 500 and spent his 'career' finger painting, he'd have $8 billion"

Surely it's all down to luck and not his ability as a businessman?

Not so much luck, as leveraged finance.

The man's a wrong 'un, I'd rather trust a Greek bloke.

Was just referring to an earlier discussion where Keith was talking about luck getting you to the top.

BTW Never trust Greek blokes

Being born the son of a millionaire is more than enough luck than any human deserves.

Really Donald Trump is the poster boy for what I was trying to explain.

The idiot is clearly an absolute fucking buffoon and yet he is one of the richest and most successful men in the world.

Pure luck and yet I'd gladly lay 1000/1 he would admit how lucky he's been.

I honestly know very little of the man but didn't come up with the idea of building 'up' in NY as floor space was very limited?

Skyscraper's pre-date Trump by circa 70 years, so, no.

Carson is anti abortion, doesn't believe in global warming and recently blamed the father rather than gun control for the latest mass shooting.  No idea how he qualified as a neuro surgeon.

Lol.

I mean he extended upwards on existing buildings instead of demolishing them.

maybe this will get a reply or two

no, too optimistic

watch it, remarkable that this man is leading the polls to be republican candidate

I think it makes perfect sense that he is leading the polls to be the republican candidate. He is only echoing what (hard core) republican's believe.

Now if he was leading the democratic polls or a UK poll, that would be a surprise.

If Trump gets in, Bush will lose his title as the stupidest president ever.

Ronald Reagan must be a runner !

[George2Loose]

It's astonishing and very scary that people think that way about guns.

Incidents like Paris must help him in the polls

Trump or Corbyn, hmm.....

Seemed to be on top of the issues when facing off against the Press Corps.

Trump traded at his lowest odds to date this morning at 4.60 for the nomination and 10.00 for the presidency.
