“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”

trump is a genius

what is persuasion 101?
>omg fuck drumpf he stupid

he came out of more than a billion dollars in bankruptcy to have ~10 billion networth and become president

he was a transfer as I recall but despite what you may believe, admissions was overall more stringent when the Ivies were an old boy's club.

>>1754617
If you had the money he was given (inheritance plus gifts) and had just put it in mutual funds youd have more than him right now

He also had nepotism (in with all new york real estate people)

So hes a double fuckup

That's not even comparable you idiot. You wouldn't be able to spend a dime for that kind of growth. Trump lives lavishly and has a high net worth. Investing in the stock market is terrible compared to entrepreneurship.

>>1755008

The source for that claim being the London Review of Books. In addition to being literally nothing but a magazine that reviews books, it's also operating from perfect hindsight.

Obummer is a smart guy whether or not you like to believe it, just like Trump.

And despite what people may say Obama's route is way more impressive than than Trumps path to presidency. Not knocking Trump at all his was unlikely as well. You sit their and call Obama a dumb nigger. What does that make you?

That /pol/ tier shit is not going to work here.
If most of /biz/ had a 100 million dollar inheritance, we'd have made more than the 1-3 billion that Trump has made over the last 40 years through boring investments. this dude lost 800 million in one year in the 1990s. Even in the unlikely event he really is worth 6-10 billion, he lost 800 mill on one casino venture. This wasn't the market going tits up and losing from multiple pies. He burnt one pie. It means he put over 10% of his total money into one business and ran it into the ground. Now he won't release his tax returns. I bet the returns would show that he has billions...in debt.

Every single modern US president has been a legitimately intelligent person. Even the ones which you think are stupid (Bush/Trump if you're blue, Clinton/Obama if you're red etc) are in all likelihood smarter than you and 99% of the general western population.

Trump and Obama both won because the pendulum was swinging back, obama won by a landslide tho and trump couldn't even manage to win popular vote

A duck running for the republicans would have won against hilary tho.

So you think Trump's not retarded but just incredibly weak? Interesting proposition...

Because he is very smart. Duh.

>>1755008

Does that account for his lavish lifestyle too? Is the private jumbo jet factored into that calculation?

>>1755064

Why is his route more impessive?

>>1754615
So Trump is weak?

>>1754997
It's 3.7 billion net worth. And one of companies went bankrupt of which he had a share and thus owed money. He did not magically pull out a billion dollars, he paid a bit and gave up his stake.

>>1755635
>>1755386
>idiots who don't understand the difference between his privately held conglomerate that's worth billions and a publicly traded company going bust

The people who got fucked over the casino chapter were the investors and shareholders who trusted the project because it was advertised and backed up by Trump, who at the time was a pretty well known real estate developer.

>>1755568
>Why is his route more impessive?

Have you seen how black the guy is?

Slightly!

>>1755386
Mate you're fucked, forget /biz/, a lot of very capable people in actual business have that kind of money and do not turn to billions. Give a fuck one of his punts failed, how many didn't?

easy

it's because business school is for retards

>>1754581
Yes. My dad used to pay off judges to get off drug charges. He did cocaine with all the judges while filming them then used it as blackmail to get off any charge including murder. He murdered over a dozen people just that I know of. Including his own brother. My uncle witnessed him murder at least a dozen more. And if you are the FBI, don't bother, my father is dead now you'll never touch him.

>>1755726
Also this all happened when I was well under 15 so I can not be held responsible for accomplice to any of it.

That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. He inherited hundreds of millions AND a thriving business. He could have invested his inheritance, and lived off the millions his daddies business made each year. Fucking idiot.

>>1755888
>he inherited hundreds of millions
his dad died in 2000 you retard, and he shared his inheritance equally to his 5 children


In any case, you lost, get over it. Your whining is pathetic.

>>1754581

If he had enough money to pay them off then head be smart enough to succeed in a business school.

>>1755888
>That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. He inherited hundreds of millions AND a thriving business. He could have invested his inheritance, and lived off the millions his daddies business made each year. Fucking idiot.
He did not inherit "hundreds of millions" as there is no proof of such claims. He did inherit the business, which is not the same as investing in the stock market you fucking moron. The return of running a business is vastly better than sticking money in a stock market. Do you understand how the fucking stock market works? Hint, you can't have a jumbo jet and tower if you stick a hundred million in stocks and wait 30 years for it to become a billion.

>>1755386
Most large companies have significant debt. I don't even know why you would bring this up unless you just don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

If you put $100,000,000 in an index fund with a 7%average annual return, you will only have ~$761,000,000 after 30 years.
That's if you don't touch a penny.

Did index funds exist in the 80s?

>>1756014
>If you put $100,000,000 in an index fund with a 7%average annual return, you will only have ~$761,000,000 after 30 years.
That's my point. You have to live like a poorfag for that kind of growth. Liberal retards think investing in the stock market is better than doing business. Kek.

>Did index funds exist in the 80s?
Sure, but they had crappy fees of 1% compared to now because of competition. Trump would be stupid and poorer to invest in the stock market in the 80s compared to running a business.

>>1756022
>That's my point. You have to live like a poorfag for that kind of growth.
Yeah, I know. I'm just pointing out that using a reasonable guess for an interest rate would leave Trump significantly poorer if he had dumped everything into an index 30 years ago and never spent a penny.
I don't know what methodology they used to determine he'd have more than he does now.

They assume he took $500 million in 1982 and dumped it all into an S&P index that realized 11.3% returns.

I would also be a millionaire if I'd taken all the money I made in high school and invested in Amazon. Clearly I'm a fucking idiot.

>>1755635

lol no wonder

>>1756068
Where do they think he got the $500 mil from?

>>1756068
If I had 500 million at 20 something, I'm not going to wait until I'm 60 for it to become billions while living in an average house at my wageslave job. It's such a stupid comparison.

>>1756039
Yeah that graph totally wasn't made up on the spot or anything
You are obviously too poor to be here if you think that's a believable image. Terribly educated

>>1756094
That number comes from his book apparently. Typically the articles I've seen don't even bother to get into all of it they just compare his decisions to an alternative set of decisions with perfect hindsight.

>>1756100
Some articles factor in him taking out some level of "salary" for himself. The resulting discrepancy is much smaller in these cases but the index still wins. All of the ones I've seen vastly underestimate how much his lifestyle costs in my opinion.

>>1756039
>Obama Was a Law graduate with no Economics or Finance training.
>This is what we fucking deserve for electing a fucking Community Organizer to run the country.

Obama was a complete Wall Street "Yes Man"... he just borrowed & spent money whenever the Bankers told him to.

The guy had no idea what he was doing in terms of finance.

>>1756109

This. According to David Mayhew, Someone from the same party running for the presidency after a two term president only has like a 50%ish chance to win. It was pretty much a coin flip no matter who the republicans nominated.

Obama wasn't born into substantial wealth.

Whether or not people here like to admit it (because we are all temporarily embarrassed millionaires har har har) it really does make all the difference.

As if it's magic that the dean's daughter always gets straight A's despite being a ditzy bitch, as though the ultra-rich foreigners somehow have an edge over the students who actually speak English, as if to say the university's investors' children deserve every % that comes their way.

It's a game, anon. You know why university used to be the gateway to a better future? Connexions. You considered university to get better at whatever specialization, but you went to university to get your connexions. People who considered university already had family and friendly connexions to influential people; the reason why we have so many confused fourth-year students who don't understand why they're getting shunted into 3rd tier jobs is that they don't understand their credentials don't matter. It matters whether you know rich and influential people. It does not matter if you're smart or flexible.

I can speak from experience. I have family friends who are into realty and property management. I can get a job doing that shit any time I want despite being undertrained and underexperienced. I am the worst candidate for the job but an offer shows up at least once a month. But still, what I have a degree in is biochemistry and food science -- yet I can't get a job as a damned janitor in any food-related company. Why? I have no "work references", which I know for a fact all my "successful" food science friends have faked. They've never worked in the capacity of a food scientist, but they have rich, established friends who'll vouch for them, so it doesn't matter one iota.

Not trying to be salty. I'm making it under my own steam, and next year I'm going to own a vineyard in wine country California. But it's frustrating just how many incompetent fuckwits get highly-paying jobs despite their technical lack.

bretty good point.

you can't be a complete idiot and make billions.

A man is measured by his works, and Trump realized dozens of successful, complex projects. Buildings that will be used 100s of years after his death. Then he also became president of Clapistan against all odds.
Numales and Neets wouldnt recognize power if it hit them in the face.

He understands business and economics far more than Obama or Hillary so cut the guy some slack and let him do his job for a little while, Jesus Christ, he's been in office for 1 week.

At the center of the spot's argument is Trump's interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" in August, in which Chuck Todd asked the Republican candidate where he turned for his military information.

"Well, I watch the shows," Trump said, remarking upon the generals and officials who appear on political talk shows.

"I don't know if that's Saturday morning or Sunday morning," Bush said last week, echoing a line that his campaign has resurrected of late.

>>1756039
One Clinton ad features this exchange between NBC's "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd and Trump:

Todd: Who do you talk to for military advice right now?

Trump: Well, I watch the shows. I mean, I really see a lot of great — you know, when you watch your show and all of the other shows, and you have the generals.

The argument here is clear: Clinton has a lifetime of service and experience in preparation for the office she is seeking. Trump watches cable TV to get smart
