He's a Harvard Law School graduate specializing in Constitutional Law and was President of the Harvard Law Review. He was a state senator for 7 years and a National Senator for 3 years.

While he wasn't as experienced as some candidates, he graduated from one of the best law schools in the country (maybe the best) and had about 10 years of political experience when he was elected.

Trump never even went to grad school, and most businesses he's run himself have failed. In short, he has no political experience and he's a mostly failed businessperson.

Obama was far from perfect, but infinitely more well-qualified to be POTUS than a racist shyster.

Obama was very qualified in the conventional sense, enough to run and win. Trump filed bankruptcy but that's what businessmen do, they try all sorts of ventures and risks and end up a billionaire.

Didn't Trump get a graduate degree?

In my opinion the common man should be able to run and win the presidency. Of course they will have to sell themself and why they can do the job. Politics was never intended to be a lifelong career, but it is which is why we end up with a swamp of animals who are all sell-outs because they been in so long and have dirt on them, unless they play the game and sell out Americans.

You state a number of fallacies about Trump. First, he inherited about $400 million from his parents. If he had even a basic understanding of investing he never would've had to work again. If, say, he'd invested his money in total market stock and bond index funds it would've appreciated at least a few million dollars every year so he could've just lived off that without touching the principle.

Second, if you read the information about his taxes and business history, almost every business he ran himself failed miserably. He's made money by licensing his name and image to others so they can use it for marketing. In other words, he sells image and fantasy rather than having a practical understanding of running businesses.

Third, Trump appears to have greatly exaggerated his net worth with dubious tax and business practices. And again, he typically makes money by letting other people market and sell a fictitious image of him rather than actually operating businesses successful the way people like Bill Gates have. In short, he's a con-man.

All irrelevant from what I said and also false. Bill Gates is the real con-man, first he created computer viruses and sold the solution, now he creates real viruses and sells the solution. I wish you people will go by your word and move to another country when Trump wins.

The point I've made is that Trump supporters and generally less educated than others. You demonstrate that with each post.


Why not take a remedial English class? I know you like it when people make fun of you, but really you should respect our language.


In 3rd Grade we learn -one thought, one sentence. We pay taxes for your education.


If you Google "Trump speaks at a 4th Grade Level" you see why you like him. Try it.





Do you really think anyone - except the extremely uneducated- cares about your opinion?

No west guess is correct. Not toasted. Trump is the worst President in history. He is an egomaniac that is dangerous to our survival as a country.

There's a saying you should study.

"Those who know, don't say. And those who say, don't know."
