CHOO CHOO!!!!!!
God I love this man. In school I studied economics and was interested in learning about commercial real estate. Although I wasn't particularly interested in real estate development, I came across some of Trump's literature regarding investing in real estate. Up till then I just knew him as the guy on that tv show, but then I learned how he made his fortune and what kind of a guy he is. He reads, and studies, and makes sure that, before taking the next step in anything, he is completely aware of the situations he gets himself into. he may make a mistake here or there, but I am quite certain that nothing is done just on a whim. he's planning three steps ahead of everyone and, in times of adversity, his cleverness always finds a way.
I fucking love this man

My favourite Trump moment was from some journalist who had been assigned to go stay in the Trump hotel, wear a Trump suit, watch Trump DVDs and basically immerse himself in Trump. The journalist starts out super cynical and ironic as you might expect.
But then, halfway through, he's reading one of Trump's books, and it occurs to him that writing, his (the journalist's) main gig, is just one of Trump's many side gigs, and Trump is colossally more successful at it than the journalist is.

And I'm sure you believe that Obama and GW Bush wrote their own books, too.

Yes he earned it all himself. He got no subsidy or relief from the three times he declared bankruptcy. Not to mention the family money. He did it all himself.

You don't know what declaring corporate bankruptcy does, do you? Aw, how cute
