    The fact that you think Trump is some sort of a role models says as much about your character as it does about your trading. I don't want to be harsh but the fact that you use Trump's net worth as a yardstick of success says you have no idea what you are talking about. Obama's ambition or his job was NOT to make billions, he had other things on his mind. If you want to talk about making money then why not talk about Buffett or Soros or Jim Simmons - smart liberal peole who made money HONESTLY and who also happen to be among the greatest traders ever.

    Alchemy of Finance vs Art of the Deal.

    Which one teaches you more about finance and trading, give me an honest answer.

    There is a massive difference here, i would never call Buffet, Soros, or Simmons losers, i would never attempt to downplay their success as businessmen, i highly respect what they accomplished in business regardless of politics, ive even read Most of Soros' shit..... I dont like his politics, but i dont attempt to call him a failure in business, that would just be idiotic.

    No, running Ponzi schemes requires a lot of talent with numbers, Trump doesn't have that.

    I didn't call Trump a failure at which he is really good - selling himself and promoting crappy products but to say he is a good businessman in the traditional sense is baloney. Good businessmen don't run scams or run a business into the ground because they wanted real marble on airplanes or stupid shit like that - that is just plain stupid and I am not making it up


    "In the lavatories, Trump — who relied on an adviser who had helped design his yacht — wanted the sink to be made out of real marble. After being told the fixture would be too heavy, faux pink marble was used instead. "

    The man is clearly an idiot who judges everything from it's appearance and it obviously works on a lot of people.

    The fact that you are too partisan to admit that Trump made billions in the most ruthless real estate market in the world says more about yours.

    "Yeah its easy, every person in the newyork real estate market becomes a billionaire." :D

    If Trump ran on the Dem ticket, I would call him the same. In fact, I remember thinking this guy was a colossal idiot back when he was a Democrat himself.

    And as I said, if he has made money cleanly without laundered money and Mueller confirms it, I will personally apologize on this thread and delete my account.

    No you wont, cause no amount of proof will ever be good enough, Trump owns many of the most highly valued pieces of property in the world, you think thats a mistake, he just fluked out?

    What proof have I been provided? I waited for years for Trump to call his PIs from Hawaii back to reveal Obama's real birth certificate - still waiting.

    Same for his tax returns which he said were under a routine audit and would be released soon - still waiting.

    Now I am waiting for Mueller's finding on Trump to be released soon but I know they will come out because unlike the birth certificate and the tax returns,it's not upto Trump to release them.

    And Trump 'lends' his name to these properties, he doesnt own most of them, they are actually owned by the banks who loan him the money or other investors. In fact, many are trying to get rid of his 'brand' from their buildings.

    So Forbes is too far right for your? Note how i used the 4 billion dollar number. Frankly id be willing to concede the point that hes probably too brash, and frankly too much of a jackass to be president, im not even a yuuuuge fan, but to imply he just fluked out in business is just insanely idiotic, there is literally not a single billionaire on the planet that you couldnt play this same game with, why dont you show me all the liberal success stories who never took a loss.

    Exactly! If he hadn't been so high profile back in the 80's he'd be in a cement Kimono, his dad had to bail him out with Cosa Nostra.
