Being a billionaire does not mean that you have more than a billion in liquid assets....why does this always need to be spelled out?
No, and neither does, on its face, owning properties worth over a billion dollars.
What makes someone a billionaire is having a net worth of at least a billion dollars.
One could own properties worth $1.1 billion, but have a total net equity of $500 million in those properties.
If that person had a net equity in all of the rest of their financial picture/everything outside of their/those properties of $200 million, then the person's net worth would be $700 million and that person would not be a billionaire (numbers = for illustration and are not tied to a specific person).
at the end of the day we have 2 men running for president.
One worked to pass the 1994 Crime bill that we now all see as systemically racist.
The other worked to overturn it and replace it with a legal framework that we all agree has worked to remove the systemically racist language of that bill.
One has been a powerful figure in American government since the 1970s and in that entire time did nothing to help save Historically Black Colleges.
The other had been a powerful figure in American Government for less than two years and according to leaders of HBCs
"saved" HBCs.
One said he didn't want his kids growing up in "racial jungles" and the other worked to create Opportunity Zones to depressed, underserved black neighborhoods to create job opportunities for people who had never had those opportunities where they lived.
The one that has done no good and much harm is the good guy
and my friends on the left are trying to convince me that the guy who has actually spent all of his time in government working to END the systemic racism that exists in our system is the racist.
No thank you. you wont pee on my leg and tell me its raining.
There is a racist running for President. It is not Donald John Trump
Nope.
There are not just two candidates running for President.
But, it was not Trump that started it, like MANY claim:
“There has never been evidence that Clinton or her campaign started the birther rumors,†said Ben Smith, editor in chief of BuzzFeed, who as a POLITICO reporter in 2011 linked the origin of the “birther†movement to a fringe politician in Illinois. Some hardcore Clinton backers circulated the rumors in 2008, but the campaign itself steered clear.
It was rather remarkable that Obama didn't have a copy of his birth certificate, since for us, we have had to produce it NUMEROUS times over the years, from kindergarten, to getting a SS#, a driver's license, and a marriage license (that's just off the top of my head as I am sure there were other times).
So, Trump repeating the rumor started by Democrats, ah, that does not constitute racism, not that some liberals have a clue what racism actually is.
Wouldn't it be racist to make a statement "if you don't vote for me, you ain't black", oh wait, that wasn't Trump, that was Biden that said that assuming all blacks were the same.
Continuing to promote the lie within the 2010s (which Trump did) after, among other things, factcheck.org determined in August of 2008 that the BC they were provided satisfies all the U.S. State Dept. requirements and the head of the health department for the State of Hawaii verified it in 2008 and in 2009, does constitute racism.
You based your accusation that I'm a racist on a sentence where you conveniently ignored the word "if". Ignoring that one word completely changes the meaning of that sentence, which means that you have reading comprehension issues or you're being intellectually dishonest. Or both.
Leftists believe if you don't hate white people, then you are a racist....because Trump hates no one, therefore in the eyes of racists Leftists, that makes him a racist.
Oh come on.
I know some WASP leftists who don't appear to be self loathing at all.
Would you say that all WASP leftists are self loathing re their race ?
So far, I have read not one thing that indicates Trump is a racist. None. Everything is twisted, like that jogger in Central Park. Who wouldn't want to deal them a death penalty for such an act or at least a long jail term. That isn't "racism" at all.
Going after Obama's birth certificate isn't "racism" either. You can make it into race, or you can question where his father was born and need a trail to make sure he is qualified. He is, but that isn't "race".
Continuing to push birtherism into the 2010s, as Trump did, when the head of the health department for the State of Hawaii verivied the authenticity in both 2008 and 2009, and when factcheck.org determined that the BC copy that they examined in August of 2008 was real, had a raised seal, had the signature, and satisfied all of the relevant U.S. State Department criteria, is racist.

All of the racist stuff is made up garbage from the media that hates Trump, because Trump bypasses the media via Twitter and such. Personally, I would like Trump to shut up, but he can't help himself. I certainly don't like him, but I am also balanced and don't like the "racism" thing thrown around so easily. It takes away from real racism.
Yes, he can.
He often fails to act like it, but he is an adult .
