Exactly, Tory Burch the clothing designer was one host. She sells hideous, overpriced bags and shoes starting price well over $200 or more. I'm so sure she understands the struggles of the working class & working poor!!! I love how all these uber rich "celebrities" support the liberals, ummm helllllooooo you are the friggin 1% that your party claims they are trying to take down. I guess behind the scenes they all know that's not really true or the donations would have stopped long ago.
Looks like the Americans are tricked again!!
. . . . and all Queen Trump (see how asinine that is) has to do to have an intimate interaction with a 0.000001%'er is look in the mirror and play with himself.
It's curious that Mr. Trump's supporters all conveniently forget that he is a 0.000001%'er. He is no different than the Kochs, Waltons, Buffet, Soros, Gates, etc. His supporters have deluded themselves into believing that a purported $10 billion man is just like them. Unfortunately, he does not wish to be lumped in with his supporters in real life. Trust me. But I like Mr. Trump nonetheless.
I am sure Hillary is no better, just on a lower scale of wealth.

That's great. I think we need to start using that around this forum from now on.
except he does not kiss their ass and beg for donations from them.
Big difference.

Well, he has reversed his position and he is now accepting big and small donations.
Quote:
Donald Trump, who had originally planned to fund his presidential bid with his own money, is now accepting campaign donations.
When he announced his candidacy in June, Mr. Trump declared: "I'm using my own money. I'm not using the lobbyists. I'm not using donors. I don't care. I'm really rich." He later pegged his net worth as greater than $10 billion, though credible outside estimates peg the figure at less than half that.
A spokeswoman said Mr. Trump is now accepting donations because his campaign was being inundated with five or ten-dollar donations from supporters who want to help. She said Mr. Trump's presidential run will be financed largely with his own funds.
Much of Mr. Trump's net worth is based on the value of real estate and licensing agreements. Lucrative as those holdings or agreements may be, they can be relatively illiquid, or hard to sell for cash quickly. A Bloomberg analysis estimated Mr. Trump has $70.5 million in liquid assets, suggesting that even a self-proclaimed really rich guy like The Donald may not have at his ready disposal the estimated $1.5 billion in cash necessary to finance a presidential run.
Mr. Trump is not taking money for favors? How do you know that, exactly? Because he said so?
I can assure you that wealthy people don't stop trying to amass wealth after they reach a certain point. They want more, because it is a way for them to keep score (and the higher the score, the better). If his liquid wealth is only about $70 million as stated above, I am sure he would welcome some more liquid cash. This is a gentleman who has publicly admitted bribing public officials; he has expectations from the other vantage point, I am sure.
