"Dumb Donald"? So, you're telling us that dumb people can easily become billionaires? Tell us how you made your first billion.
Trump was born on home plate and acts like he hit a home run. The guy inherited betweeb $40 million and $200 million in 1974 that would have made him a billionaire if he just put it in a mutual fund. The fact also remains, we really don't know how much Trump is worth.

What do you care as long as his ideas represent the will of most of the American people ? Has there ever been a "poor" POTUS ?

Trump has never held any national position at all. That makes him a first. He has never even served in a local party central committee before, has never been in the military, and has never had a government job of any kind.
if he wins the nomination, he is the very first total outsider to do so, and if he wins the election, that's another first.
Just how is a man who's boasted about buying politicians, IOW a player in the most establishment game of all, a "total outsider"?
Interesting question and I honestly don't know. Lots of republicans and some libertarians claim raegan was non establishment, that was decades ago. Assuming that Raegan was indeed non establishment, trump would be the first one in a long time.
Trump would be the first non politician since Raegan, am I correct?

I don't know about Raegan but Reagan had been Governor of California so was certainly NOT a "non-politician".

Most of the American people do not support lowering taxes on millionaires and billionaires paid for with borrowing. But the point is that Trump supporters make a big deal about him being "anti-establishment" which is a joke, since his policy positions mimic that of the so-called establishment.

Good point. Can't believe I forgot that! But he did have a short political career, he wasn't a lifelong politician. Does that count to some people as non establishment? Kind of like Jesse Ventura or Arnold?

Sounds more like saying "she's just a little bit pregnant"
