Trump has started his own business and literally reached the top the world in business, success and life.

Trump made his money the old-fashioned way: he inherited it. His father was one of the wealthiest developers and landowners in New York. So when Donald goes around pretending to be a self-made man in the mold of Andrew Carnegie, I have to laugh. He's about as self-made as Prince Charles. Moreover, Donald hasn't done such a great job with his inherited wealth: most of the money was squandered on failed, bankrupted ventures.

He’s a business man and entrepreneur ,the guys who built this country like Ford, Edison etc.

Ford and Edison's inventions revolutionized America and the world. You can't say the same for Trump's casinos (most of which he built on property acquired by government seizure, i.e. eminent domain).

He tells it like it is especially about illegals

I agree with what he says NOW about illegals. The problem is, he was saying the exact opposite about illegals in 2012 and during his vanity Reform Party bid in 2000. Even Mitt Romney was too hardline and "heartless" for saying that illegals ought to self-deport according to Donald. He's a guy who says things I agree with one day to get in the media spotlight, and who will say the opposite the next day to stay in the spotlight.

I’d be real interested in your source of information as to Trump senior wealth and holdings before The Donald started his moves. As I recall the father had no holdings in Manhattan and I don’t recall any mention of the Trump name in any of the Top Ten RE holdings and wealth over the years.

Inquiring minds want to know. How about it?

Trump's dad didn't have billions of dollars. Trump has amassed billions of dollars .Trump is more successful than you and your lawyer politicians combined . all your lawyer politicians have not even held a real job nor built a business. Trump runs a multi-billion dollar business empire . Trump's built 50 story towers . Trump has amassed a multi -billion dollar fortune. why don't you list your accomplishments and those of your lawyer politician favorite candidate who has done what read a speech written by some flunkie and that's it a speech,.

That trump would risk it all to try to fix this country means a lot. he didn't need to do this nor anything as he could have moved away to some island. what have you accomplished?

name someone, anyone, who has grown his business at an average rate of more than 8% per year, for 45 years straight.

That’s what Trump has done.

Nothing you invested in ever did so good.

Business men are the ones who built this country,who built this civilization. Trump is a businessman . who is he ruining against,politicians and lawyers.. to me politicians are the 2nd lowest vermin in the world, next lawyers. News Media reporters are the lowest of the low vermin.

I am a businessman. We built this country and keep it running. My heros have always been businessmen Ford, Edison, Jeff Bezoz Mark Cuban, etc.

Trump's father maybe left him a fortune of 300 million, maybe worth a billion or more in today's money.

Trump says he is worth 10 billion. Forbes traditionally puts him at 4 billion, but unsure of what metric they use.

That's making good on the money you've got, I say.
