Trump is a joke as far as his business experience is concerned. He's also extremely dishonest which is... concerning. The sad part is that he's still the best choice out of the Republican candidates and frankly he's barely any worse than the Democratic front runners.

He is a Billionaire, you have to give him props for that. However, the Democratic front runners at least don't act like 16 year olds.

 

As others have pointed out, he's not a self made billionaire. He inherited millions and failed to outperform the market. Trump is actually below average as an investor even before you consider all of the government handouts he receives. Trump is great at building up massive amounts of debt, filing for bankruptcy and wasting tax payers money... so I guess he'll make a great president.

Edit: I have to laugh at Republicans who spout nonsense about not voting based on gay rights and social issues but instead economics. When was the last time a Republican president benefitted the economy? How has Trump's difficulties in the business world impressed you? Good god out of all the people to be talking trash. This is what happens when you have a nation that educates the masses in neither history nor economics. Have fun trading what remains of liberty for more debt because we know (I guess you don't) Trump is great at racking up debt. To be fair Trump isn't anything special when it comes to investing but then again, why would you vote for such a mediocre investor? That being said, it's not like there is a viable alternative so guess what, you shouldn't support any of the candidates.

Reagan had incredible economic growth during his presidency.  The Bushes not so much.   Really from the Democratic side you have Clinton and prior to that who was the last Democrat who was in charge of a strong economy? 

 

I suppose you're right,  we should yield to people who have not shown any ability to invest or grow their personal wealth in any other capacity  other than taking tax payer money.   Maybe we should be voting for someone who couldn't pass her bar exam initially,  nothing like nepotism to ensure great hires!  

 

If Trumps statement is correct that he received a loan of one million dollars,  (and his high-end estimated worth is 10 billion dollars).... He would have tangibly increased his wealth roughly 10,000%. In regular people standards,  If you were to receive  50,000$ and show growth of 10,000% that's akin to you being worth 500 million dollars.
