I disagree with trump in almost every aspect, but I must say that he manage a country like a business man and he is doing some moves because of it that other countries (Like China) can't predict.



If he was operating like a business man, he would be a lot easier to predict. He is still operating like the guy who thinks he is a business man while bankrupting a casino. And he always has been.

"The Simpsons" was more explicit about it:

And for anyone who has followed Doonesbury for a while, it kinda feels like the wilder theories concerning the LHC may possibly be true.

And yet he is a billionaire, has lived an amazing life, beat the best republican lineup ever and clinton against all odds is now a president and doing things that other politicians have only talked about. He is going to be one of the most influential presidents ever.

what have you done recently?


If we are talking about things that Trump is unable to do, I did recently help someone who was bleeding fairly badly. By his own admission, Trump cannot do that.

edit - Also, I am not sure what you are looking to achieve, but I am not going to lose any sleep by comparing myself to Trump of all people. He looks miserable.


Just as i dont think he is loosing sleep over what you think.


That's pretty much a given, by both location and temperament.

The news is funny this morning. I might be richer than Trump. And I'm not rich.


The news is not really news. Trump is rich, loosing money doesn't mean you aren't rich.


For some reason, and I'm not sure what exactly, but I'll bet I'll put my finger on it if you'll give me just a minute. But for some reason, that argument wasn't particularly convincing.

Run it past me again, and we'll see if we can spot what the problem is on the second go around. Either something's not quite attached right or maybe something could be on back to front. Was hard to tell in all the excitement and distraction.


I am not trying to convince you, just stating a fact. Why do you think news from the 80’ies is any indication of his economy today. Read the art of the comback, he is pretty transparent. Not sure what exactly you think it is you know thats not already available. You saying he isnt rich?


I think he actually needed the Apprentice appearances just to keep some legitimate spending money going and owes far more than he owns. To put it simply, if fully audited, I suspect he is bankrupt, at least if you only count the money he is legally allowed to keep. Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm before he became US president just to avoid these conflicts of interest.
