3. Don’t pay American workers or contractors for work completed
4. Don’t pay any bill you can weasel out of
5. Don’t pay American taxes (only “little people” pay taxes — shades of Leona Helmsley!)
6. Run up huge debts that you never pay back
7. Declare bankruptcy and leave others holding the bag
8. Launder money for Russians and sun god knows who else
9. Violate the Constitutional EMOLUMENTS clause, openly and blatantly.
10. Use cheap foreign child slave labor in Asia and Mexico to reduce production costs while whining about how China, Asia and Mexico are undercutting the American workers YOU sabotaged by supporting the slave wages they pay to women and children
Senator Elizabeth Warren (former long-time Harvard Law School professor of financial law) calculated that if he had just taken Daddy’s gifts, loans (that were never repaid), bailouts and inheritance and put them in standard mutual funds, he would have had greater wealth than what he has been left with after a lifetime of bankruptcies, business failures, cheating, defrauding, conning and money laundering.
And that was when he only claimed initial seed money from Daddy of $1 million; now that we learn that the seed money from Daddy was actually $60.7 million at the time ($140 million initial loan [unrepaid; therefore: gift] in today’s inflation-adjusted dollars; $413 total received as gifts and unrepaid loans from Daddy), he is so far below what a basic mutual fund would have return that his claim of being “self-made” or “successful” is all the more laughable.
But the gullible Trumpsuckers keep falling for his scams and lies.
His supporters don’t care. They don’t like liberals and liberal policies which they view as unAmerican and the resident claims to share that view. Beating the taxman gives him bonus points.
And, like they show in Blazing Saddles, we need to be sure that when we “ride into town a’blazin’”, we defeat the real villians, and not the sham president they propped up as a target.
I have never believed that he even has a net worth of more than a billion. He may own properties totally several billion in value, but they are all mortgaged to the gills. I personally doubt that his net worth is more than $200 million.

Trump “successful self-made (?!) business man” business strategy:
1. Inherit everything from Daddy (gifts, loans [never repaid], inheritance, networking connections)
2. Steal from everyone else
3. Don’t pay American workers or contractors for work completed
4. Don’t pay any bill you can weasel out of
5. Don’t pay American taxes (only “little people” pay taxes — shades of Leona Helmsley!)

He certainly is his father’s son. Fred would be soooo proud.
