Why does it matter?

As for the rest of your reply, you kind of made my point for me by talking about all the billions he has.

Thanks.

Trump just needs to stick to what he knows is all. Running hotels etc. I can't run NASA. I know i can't, He should realize he isn't qualified to run a country. Thats all. Putting people in charge of things they have ZERO Qualifications can have a long term dire effect (As we are seeing) . We need to be smarter as a country. Common sense has left us. Businesses also need to be much smarter in who they put in charge of those as well

1 thing I like about Trump. He treats CNN like the tabloid news org that they are.

Everything isn't 'Us vs. Them'.

Dislike of Trump is probably one of the few things Seacove and I would agree upon

You're right. I'm not going to give it a rest. But it's not Trump specific.

I think that being elected POTUS is the greatest privilege we can bestow upon a citizen and that it is not only the right of the citizenry but the responsibility of the citizenry to hold the POTUS' feet to the proverbial fire/hold the POTUS accountable, irrespective of party.

As Harry Truman said "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"


Again, we don't elect the President by popular vote.

Sorry if that give you the weepy feels.

What, in your opinion, qualifies a person to be the president?

The Constitution, which is the document that governs this question, says the person must be 35 years old and a natural born citizen. I'm curious to know what you've added to the list.

Never forget, ours is a government of the People, by the People and for the People. Your line of thought is more akin to a monarchy than a republic.

Yes, a pretty good grasp. I have degrees in history and political science. And I've read several books on WWII since the first of the year. I've also read extensively on Trump's background.

He climbed out of that, and by the time he came down the escalator in 2015, Forbes had him pegged at $4.5 billion.

Over the course of his Presidency, before a few weeks ago, that became $3.5 billion, and then $3.1 billion.

As another poster pointed out, he's lost another billion in the last few weeks, down to $2.1 billion.

And, as yet another poster pointed out, If he had put his inheritance in an index fund, he'd be worth $12 to 15 billion.

An argument can be made that overall he's not a very good businessman.
All good points but you left out the money laundering from Russia through Deutsche Bank. Trump was on the verge of bankruptcy and managed to buy 16 golf course since 1999.

Please tell this to the leftists who claim Trump isn't really a billionaire.

It's only fair.

Not every business venture works out. In fact, most fail. Success over a career is measured by the career - not a cherry picked selection of failures. That's a pretty scuzzy way to debate, IMO.

I don't have to look at Trump's business ventures to evaluate him; all I have to do is watch one of his press conferences. I have never heard one intelligent statement ever come out of his mouth.

Trumps all ego and no morals which makes one wonder about his voters.
Perhaps you didn’t agree with the reasons people didn’t like Obama, but those reasons were, in many cases, sound. Obamacare alone was enough of a reason to dislike Obama.
