He turned a million dollars into a billion. I'd say he's done well for himself. Don't be too jealous.

Obama has made plenty of silly mistakes through his years like not knowing how many states are in the US. He thought there was 58. Like having to be corrected during a TV interview when he was talking about his muslim faith "you mean your Christian faith?" "OH yeah"
or the time that he embraced the Bergdahls in the rose garden after letting loose 5 terrorists for their deserter son.

Obama has been feeling his way along since 2008 and the media has been covering for him. How about when he went on the apology tour telling the foreign leaders that he bowed to how lousy America is.

Up to the point of the election what had Obama ever accomplished? He was a community organizer with a fancy law degree. He wasn't practicing law at any firm?


Trump says a lot of stupid things but as far as we can tell he is not lying to us about everything and anything just for the sake of it.
Trump is a business man and a strong America makes him richer. Hillary is a career politician with nothing to gain but ego and fattening her own bank accounts. She does not have Americas best interest in her mind.

Obama is a master when it comes to foreign policy and the economy. How many times has Obama gone bankrupt??

Trump is lucky to have the media on his side.

No, he claims to be a billionaire, just because he has a gold toilet to poop in doesn't actually make him a billionaire. He has also proven he can easily drive companies into the ground which is why much of his business is just selling his name to other people.

Let me stop you right there and say:

John Miller
"My investigators can't believe what their finding out about Obama in Hawaii."
"The NFL sent a letter about the debate schedule."
1000's of Muslims celebrating on 9/11
"I couldn't serve my country because of heel spurs, but I don't remember which heel."
Melania's speech wasn't plagiarazed...
I will release my tax returns.

I could go on, but those are just the useless lies that immediately came to mind.

Pretty sure others claim he's a billionaire too

Forbes Welcome

A lot of people, entrepreneurs and business owners fail: Trump isn't the only one. There is no shame in that.

That link doesn't prove he is a billionaire, though it does question if he is worth as much as he claims he is worth. No business owner should be proud for driving companies into the ground. If it wasn't for reality TV, Trump would just be a poor failed business man from a gone Era. Instead he is celebrated for his poor choices and failed businesses as if that is a noble accomplishment.

It shows that Forbes says he has a net worth of more than $1 billion (I think they claim 4 billion). I'd like proof of him intentionally driving a company into the ground. Sorry if I'm skeptical of the business acumen of a liberal Portland voter, but anyone who can turn a few million into a net worth over $1 billion isn't a bad business person.

No, the article takes a guess that he is worth $4 billion, that is only a guess. My guess is that he isn't a billionaire because Trump tends to lie a lot. He definitely isn't worth $10 billion like he claims.

Actually if he did nothing with his daddy's money, he would have been worth much much more. Again, celebrating bad business decisions isn't something to be proud of.

I think I'll take Forbes's word over yours.

I look forward to seeing your calculations for that.
