OatmealRaisin posted:Why do people on both sides of the aisle keep putting up the "Trump isn't actually rich" attack? Like I wouldn't be surprised if most of his wealth was tied up in nonliquid assets, but when a dude flies around the country campaigning from his own personal airliner the whole "He doesn't even have that much money!" thing feels hollow and meaningless. *757, Trump probably couldn't actually afford a 747. (Not that he'd want one).

Majorian posted:Nah, read their response: Umm. "NRSC statement on the record -- 'it would be great if reporters would pay as much attention to a deleted tweet as they should to Tammy Duckworth being sued by VA whistleblowers for ignoring claims of mistreatment and corruption.'" Maybe I'm missing something. Someone clearly is, given the incoherence of that statement.

OatmealRaisin posted:Why do people on both sides of the aisle keep putting up the "Trump isn't actually rich" attack? . Most people on both sides realize it's a pretty futile attack and you don't see alot of it. Trump's brand of wealth is far more palatable to most American's then Mitt Romney, despite Trump being worth several times more then Romney on even the most conservative estimates. It's why Trump can get away with saying "I'm really rich" while Romney tried to hide from his wealth by tweeting a picture of him doing his own laundry, which seemed very hollow. I can point to skyscrapers, hotels and casinos, and golf courses with Trump's name on it and say "Donald Trump built those and he employs thousands of workers". With Romney the narrative was vulture capitalism, and his wealth was displayed in the forms of a car elevator to house his couple of cadillacs and some stock portfolios.

the "trump isn't rich" attack is stupid as an attack and won't work but it really, really bothers him because of how insecure he is. it's like his tiny baby hands.

it's funny because Michael Bloomberg really is insanely überwealthy, enough to buy and sell trump many times over, and having him in the race would probably trigger trump's insecurities even more. ultimately not worth it but funny to think about. Bloomberg is worth about $40,000,000,000 for reference

Hannity has Trump on the phone talking about the SECRET MEETING to stop Trump. Trump starts off by saying "Karl Rove is just a loooooser!" He then pivoted into "so many negative ads!" talk instead of "The illuminati is trying to stop Trump" talk.

Majorian posted:He has some massive outstanding loans from the biggest banks on Wall Street. From his financial disclosures last year: No comment on whether he is/isn't a good businessman, but this is a really stupid/misinformed point. Those are mortgages, asset backed loans - that's how real estate development happens. Virtually nobody - GE building a manufacturing plant, federal governments developing public utilities, Trump building a casino, even private individuals who buy houses - doesn't use mortgages, because the rates are so low when there's a hard asset backing it. He may be a terrible businessman, but it's not bc he uses mortgages

The fact that Trump might actually be POTUS really tells you how lovely the democratic party in general and Hilary in particular actually is maybe if they had a platform other than tuned down GOP identity politics they wouldn't somehow be losing the country even though demographics overwhelmingly favors them seriously what does the democratic party actually stand for except gay rights and abortion?

Now that Arnold has endorsed Kasich he should drop a sick burn like " Donald, you may be the current front runner, but you have tiny, girly-man hands." This will trigger the Trump.
