In which decade did you meet and get to know Trump?
Do tell.
We're all ears .
Although you didn't ask me specifically, my "knowing" him was owning property and business in S. New Jersey, including some within sight of Atlantic City. I used to take my boat alongside the "Princess" until the Bankruptcy Court made him sell that boat.
I won't go into detail, but if anyone can turn 100 billion into 1 billion, it's that dude - and, along the way, fleece taxpayers, investors, bondholders, contractors and everyone else he comes into contact with.
That takes a lot of talent. At least with Madoff a vast portion of the money has been able to be recovered - with Trump it's gone, baby, gone...
But why talk MY opinion. Here are the simple facts - provable.....
1. If Trump had invested his money with Buffet in about 1975 (a couple years after being appointed Pres of the Parents company) he'd have 180 BILLION today...and not fleeced a soul or a single taxpayer. Yes, that's 180 BILLION dollars, or about 179 Billion more than he had a couple years back or 177 Billion more than he had after he started with the Russian financing.....
2. If Trump had invested his money in the S&P at the same time he'd have around 9 Billion - so his "active" business skills (and all the drama) gained him vastly less than market averages.
No sane "business person" would look at these results and say they were positive. The entire idea of being in business (independent of innovation, etc. which he has none of) is to beat what one might be able to make by passive means.
He had the skills of losing 177 Billion...and some people think that is good. It shows how little business sense most Americans have.
1980's was the decade, although it stretched into the 1990's as he went broke more and more times.
Remember back when Trump, to silence his critics and haters about his intellectual capability, took a mental health assessment that is given to Alzheimer's and Dementia patients? LOL
Johns Hopkins is perhaps the most respected institution in the USA...and one of the most respected in the world
Take that for what it is worth - but it is no "mere" or "normal" medical establishment, having saved 100's of millions of lives with their research (vaccines, cures, etc.).....
I'm not casting merit or not on the claim - just the institution. I know it's in vogue to downplay the significance of our institutions, but most people reading this would not be here today without this one.
This is just a small sampling - however, their research was instrumental in most everything that makes our modern world - for example, the 1918 (and many since) Flu would have killed many tens of millions of Americans just by itself without JH https://www.jhu.edu/research/milestones/
It is respected and a wonderful university and medical center. My husbands cousin graduated from there and also taught for awhile. That has little to do with this post as it appears the OP paid no attention to what he was posting. It appears to not be true or only partially true.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Shoulda, coulda, woulda will always be better that reality. I assume you put ALL of your $$ into Buffet back then.
Pro tip - factual statements don't start with "if"

My point was not to stick up for Trump. I don't like Trump, I didn't vote for him, and I'm not a Republican.
Don should have posted that he knows of Trump, or about Trump, but not that he knows him (he obviously doesn't, or we would have heard about that from him a long time ago).
IMO, it's fun to tease Don. He sometimes leaves himself wide open.

So in other words you are making things up. Figured that.
Actually I think Ann Coulter came up with the saying before Michael did.
Now, as for what some professor has to say, regardless of his field, is his opinion and I have yet to figure how so many can take what a Psychiatrist has to say. My experience from friends who's kids have visited them: it is always mommy's fault. Has your friend, the professor said it is all Trump's mommy's fault?
Where did you get the information he is ban from ever from ever stepping foot on British soil?
My, some people are so full of hate, they will believe anything or they are so naive they fall for anything that will make the person they dislike look bad.
No we don't hate Scots and much of the film Braveheart was not historically accurate.
Btw Scots are British, so would have to hate themselves.
British or Britons are the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This includes the English, Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish.

LOL. Why does this remind me of a certain woman saying she could see Russia from where she was?
I stood very close to the Queen Mary once.
