that Trump was handed a great economy and the trend lines the existed before his Presidency have largely remained constant, although jobs created and real wages have gotten worse.
Yes the truth matters. It matters Tatupu. I know this is something leftists/Democrats care little about today, but it matters.
See, that's an Apples to Apples compare..
Now, please don't start this B.S. again in a few more days.

It's amazing you persist in this ridiculous comparison. Very trollish.
Easy. If he had just invested his inheritance in the stock market he would be better off
The article that claims this assumes 100% reinvestment of dividends
Goran_K saysEither way Trump is a loser compared to passively investing.

Except, there were no Index funds back then.
And of course, the performance of index funds depends on people doing something other with money besides investing in index funds. Like founding Microsoft or Costco. Or building a shit ton of casinos and huge residences, which created a ton of economic activity.

when a poster refers to Leon Durnham as Tatupu
That’s disingenuous as all hell.
There are a shitload of ways to make money. There's always one that's going to do better and get better returns then yours. This whole line about Trump not increasing his money at the same rate at the S&P/index fund is a joke. Give everyone here $1M to invest in today and 20-30% would end up with zero. Yet everyone is an armchair quarterback with experience running a business AND handling 7-9 figures.
The whole thing about the "additional" money Trump could have made is kind of laughable to me.
The article that claims this assumes 100% reinvestment of dividends (which is impossible anyway due to taxes)...stupid to even discuss.
The index fund narrative was particularly funny because those didn't exist at the time he started. Nevertheless, "journalists" named specific funds (checks attached!), talking about how you can invest in those funds and do better than a billionaire. Nevermind those funds didn't exist back then, it's fake news to mislead people, and it worked.
In addition, they cherry picked their dates. They start in the 1970s or 1982, a low period for stocks, and say he should have gone all in to those non-existent index funds at that time. Nevermind his father remained alive until 1999, the son should have sold the roof over dad's head, the whole business dad and grandma had spent lifetimes building, Donald should have sold the whole thing and bet it all on the stock market, which was at that time doing terribly. I can hardly imagine what those family conversations would have been like. The real point of the story is to tell the reader to invest in stock funds (checks attached) while also push...
Or that Thunderlips is also had too many names to remember, as to not agitate #Cult45 to show its the same person who was creaming their pants over the idea of Elizabeth Warren as president?
Absolutely wrong. The article you posted was fucking retarded.

Now how can anyone argue with that sort of fact based logic and reasoning.
BTW, that's why I'm a consultant.
I have my prior dividends reinvested & the part which isn't in a tax deferred vehicle, is where I pay ordinary income taxes on.

You can't, that's why you aren't.

Until when? At some point you touch it, or whats the point?
APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch saysIf Trump had documentable access to half of what he claims, banks would have been in line to loan him whatever he needed to right his casinos after they went down - just for his signature. He ended up with the note from Deutsche Bank because the outcome for Deutsche's real clients would provide a useful laundering vehicle for them to exhaust ill-gotten gains into a reasonably stable, reasonably fungible if somewhat illiquid instrument. On paper, TTO was and is likely still completely non-creditworthy at anything close to the exposure of the DB note.
Patrick is this allowed here? Or should it be censored?

Until I stop working, which is where I simply use the regular dividend checks as my income stream.
And thus, whether or not the market goes bullish or bearish, I have a steady source of retirement income w/o having to sell shares to raise money.

how many hoes per month would your dividends allow? how about in retirement? Or does a 1 time robot purchase cover it?
Maintenance might be a little awkward...
No billionaire on the Forbes 100 has ever done that. Geezus this is fucking stupid to even discuss.

And oil changes.

Although these characteristics are unbecoming, you can’t seriously expect these to be enough for a conservative to flip? Flip to what?
As long as he’s for lowering taxes, pro 2nd amendment, tough on immigration, against bs socialist policy, then conservatives will support.
Don’t act so surprised folks. It matters little that he’s an asshole, matters little that he’s rude and offensive.
As long as he fights for conservative policy and continues to hit liberals on the chin like no president ever has, he will not lose support.
