“He’s a socialist bufoon.”

That’s pretty funny. (Not the mis-spelling.) A man who has become stunningly wealthy thanks to capitalism is a socialistic buffoon? Right.

You need to do a little more research on Trump. He got $200 million from his father in the early 70s, and has underperformed with it since then. He isn't as wealthy as he portrays himself, and he has admitted that in court depositions. His net worth is more in the range of $150-$250 million. he sued the writer who proved that and lost in court. He didn't even come close to keeping pace with inflation with the money his father gave him. He is a mid tier NYC real estate developer and a relentless self promoter. Beyond that, he's had more failures in business, than successes. His business, such as it is, is not that capitalistic: he relies on big government cronyism. He's proud of using eminent domain to take private property using the government. He uses bureaucratic connections to leech of the government.

Besides which, what about George Soros, or Warren Buffet. They actually did become stunningly wealthy and they are socialists. How do you explain that?

Trump isn't going to run, because the truth about his business would come out.
