How the fuck did this guy graduate from Wharton School of Finance? Did he pay them off or something...

>The billionaire President can't be smart because he's a Republican
>Only intelligent liberals like me can be smart. Mr noseberg said so in my marxist 101 clasd

>If you had the money he was given (inheritance plus gifts) and had just put it in mutual funds youd have more than him right now
That's not even comparable you idiot. You wouldn't be able to spend a dime for that kind of growth. Trump lives lavishly and has a high net worth. Investing in the stock market is terrible compared to entrepreneurship.

The source for that claim being the London Review of Books. In addition to being literally nothing but a magazine that reviews books, it's also operating from perfect hindsight.

How the fuck did obama graduate from harvard (via occidental) and harvard law school? did he nigger or something? is that possible in the usa?

Obummer is a smart guy whether or not you like to believe it, just like Trump.

And despite what people may say Obama's route is way more impressive than than Trumps path to presidency. Not knocking Trump at all his was unlikely as well. You sit their and call Obama a dumb nigger. What does that make you?

Food for thought.

Damn. Roasted.

I think people forget that this dude is currently 70
who knows a smart old fart? I dont
Listen to his son Eric, the dude is very intelligent

That /pol/ tier shit is not going to work here.
If most of Veeky Forums had a 100 million dollar inheritance, we'd have made more than the 1-3 billion that Trump has made over the last 40 years through boring investments. this dude lost 800 million in one year in the 1990s. Even in the unlikely event he really is worth 6-10 billion, he lost 800 mill on one casino venture. This wasn't the market going tits up and losing from multiple pies. He burnt one pie. It means he put over 10% of his total money into one business and ran it into the ground. Now he won't release his tax returns. I bet the returns would show that he has billions...in debt.

Every single modern US president has been a legitimately intelligent person. Even the ones which you think are stupid (Bush/Trump if you're blue, Clinton/Obama if you're red etc) are in all likelihood smarter than you and 99% of the general western population.

> Implying 99% of Veeky Forums aren't just a bunch of 20 something year olds role playing wolf of wall street

I think a lot of people, especially Americans, need to realize that for the most part government is just a show. You get the idiots up in arms and blindly voting for you, and you win.

Trump and Obama both won because the pendulum was swinging back, obama won by a landslide tho and trump couldn't even manage to win popular vote

A duck running for the republicans would have won against hilary tho.

>(inheritance plus gifts)
Haha yeah man, he should have just sold off everything his father built and left him and put it in mutual funds.

yeah dude he should have sold everything and stuck it into a mutual fund haha you're right :^)

Rofl speak for yourself, pleb

>“Appear [...] strong when you are weak.”
So you think Trump's not retarded but just incredibly weak? Interesting proposition...

Because he is very smart. Duh.

Does that account for his lavish lifestyle too? Is the private jumbo jet factored into that calculation?

Why is his route more impessive?

So Trump is weak?

It's 3.7 billion net worth. And one of companies went bankrupt of which he had a share and thus owed money. He did not magically pull out a billion dollars, he paid a bit and gave up his stake.

>idiots who don't understand the difference between his privately held conglomerate that's worth billions and a publicly traded company going bust

The people who got fucked over the casino chapter were the investors and shareholders who trusted the project because it was advertised and backed up by Trump, who at the time was a pretty well known real estate developer.

>Why is his route more impessive?

Have you seen how black the guy is?

Slightly!

Mate you're fucked, forget Veeky Forums, a lot of very capable people in actual business have that kind of money and do not turn to billions. Give a fuck one of his punts failed, how many didn't?

easy

it's because business school is for retards

Yes. My dad used to pay off judges to get off drug charges. He did cocaine with all the judges while filming them then used it as blackmail to get off any charge including murder. He murdered over a dozen people just that I know of. Including his own brother. My uncle witnessed him murder at least a dozen more. And if you are the FBI, don't bother, my father is dead now you'll never touch him.

Also this all happened when I was well under 15 so I can not be held responsible for accomplice to any of it.

...

Nice roleplay.
If that were true you'd be a moron to tell anyone. If the FBI thinks you're guilty they would watch you like a hawk and get you for all the little shit you do.

That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. He inherited hundreds of millions AND a thriving business. He could have invested his inheritance, and lived off the millions his daddies business made each year. Fucking idiot.

>he inherited hundreds of millions
his dad died in 2000 you retard, and he shared his inheritance equally to his 5 children

In any case, you lost, get over it. Your whining is pathetic.

If he had enough money to pay them off then head be smart enough to succeed in a business school.

>That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. He inherited hundreds of millions AND a thriving business. He could have invested his inheritance, and lived off the millions his daddies business made each year. Fucking idiot.
He did not inherit "hundreds of millions" as there is no proof of such claims. He did inherit the business, which is not the same as investing in the stock market you fucking moron. The return of running a business is vastly better than sticking money in a stock market. Do you understand how the fucking stock market works? Hint, you can't have a jumbo jet and tower if you stick a hundred million in stocks and wait 30 years for it to become a billion.

Most large companies have significant debt. I don't even know why you would bring this up unless you just don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

If you put $100,000,000 in an index fund with a 7%average annual return, you will only have ~$761,000,000 after 30 years.
That's if you don't touch a penny.

Did index funds exist in the 80s?

>If you put $100,000,000 in an index fund with a 7%average annual return, you will only have ~$761,000,000 after 30 years.
That's my point. You have to live like a poorfag for that kind of growth. Liberal retards think investing in the stock market is better than doing business. Kek.

>Did index funds exist in the 80s?
Sure, but they had crappy fees of 1% compared to now because of competition. Trump would be stupid and poorer to invest in the stock market in the 80s compared to running a business.

Obama Was a Law graduate with no Economics or Finance training.

This is what we fucking deserve for electing a fucking Community Organizer to run the country.

Mabye somebody with business training will fix this fucking mess.

>That's my point. You have to live like a poorfag for that kind of growth.
Yeah, I know. I'm just pointing out that using a reasonable guess for an interest rate would leave Trump significantly poorer if he had dumped everything into an index 30 years ago and never spent a penny.
I don't know what methodology they used to determine he'd have more than he does now.

>I don't know what methodology they used to determine he'd have more than he does now.
It's called bullshit.

>fixing america
aint gonna happen m8, the american people as a whole are too shitty as people to ever make for a decent running country

They assume he took $500 million in 1982 and dumped it all into an S&P index that realized 11.3% returns.

I would also be a millionaire if I'd taken all the money I made in high school and invested in Amazon. Clearly I'm a fucking idiot.

citing the wikipedia number

lol no wonder

regardless, he his Pres. now

Where do they think he got the $500 mil from?

If I had 500 million at 20 something, I'm not going to wait until I'm 60 for it to become billions while living in an average house at my wageslave job. It's such a stupid comparison.

Yeah that graph totally wasn't made up on the spot or anything
You are obviously too poor to be here if you think that's a believable image. Terribly educated

That number comes from his book apparently. Typically the articles I've seen don't even bother to get into all of it they just compare his decisions to an alternative set of decisions with perfect hindsight.

Some articles factor in him taking out some level of "salary" for himself. The resulting discrepancy is much smaller in these cases but the index still wins. All of the ones I've seen vastly underestimate how much his lifestyle costs in my opinion.

>Obama Was a Law graduate with no Economics or Finance training.
>This is what we fucking deserve for electing a fucking Community Organizer to run the country.

Obama was a complete Wall Street "Yes Man"... he just borrowed & spent money whenever the Bankers told him to.

The guy had no idea what he was doing in terms of finance.

Hey, retard.

It's very easy to check the national debt ALL by your little self.

And yes, ignorant little Billy. Obama did double our entire National debt in the span of 8 years.

yes, yes it is

>Obama Was a Law graduate with no Economics or Finance training.

And it shows.

And before some ignorant little kid tries to claim the government numbers are all made up...

google what the GAO is.

This. According to David Mayhew, Someone from the same party running for the presidency after a two term president only has like a 50%ish chance to win. It was pretty much a coin flip no matter who the republicans nominated.

Obama wasn't born into substantial wealth.

Whether or not people here like to admit it (because we are all temporarily embarrassed millionaires har har har) it really does make all the difference.

What kills me about this argument is that people think some one stupid can just fumble their way in head of state. I am not just talking about america i am talking about any country.

Like you actually think some one stupid can become president / prime minister ? Top fucking kek

Even if they are not "intellectual" they have displayed a exceptional level of charisma and a almost supernatural level cunning

I don't even like Trump but to think he is in anyway stupid is ridiculous.

he has accomplished more than you ever will

rekt

nowhere did i call obama dumb. but youre definitely niggers.

lel u caught me with my pants on the ground!

atleast let me try!

USA ONLY no faggity ass brits "mate"

jesus christ dude more info please? how interesting

>How the fuck did this guy graduate from Wharton School of Finance?
nepotism
>Did he pay them off or something? Is that possible in the USA?
yes

As if it's magic that the dean's daughter always gets straight A's despite being a ditzy bitch, as though the ultra-rich foreigners somehow have an edge over the students who actually speak English, as if to say the university's investors' children deserve every % that comes their way.

It's a game, user. You know why university used to be the gateway to a better future? Connexions. You considered university to get better at whatever specialization, but you went to university to get your connexions. People who considered university already had family and friendly connexions to influential people; the reason why we have so many confused fourth-year students who don't understand why they're getting shunted into 3rd tier jobs is that they don't understand their credentials don't matter. It matters whether you know rich and influential people. It does not matter if you're smart or flexible.

I can speak from experience. I have family friends who are into realty and property management. I can get a job doing that shit any time I want despite being undertrained and underexperienced. I am the worst candidate for the job but an offer shows up at least once a month. But still, what I have a degree in is biochemistry and food science -- yet I can't get a job as a damned janitor in any food-related company. Why? I have no "work references", which I know for a fact all my "successful" food science friends have faked. They've never worked in the capacity of a food scientist, but they have rich, established friends who'll vouch for them, so it doesn't matter one iota.

Not trying to be salty. I'm making it under my own steam, and next year I'm going to own a vineyard in wine country California. But it's frustrating just how many incompetent fuckwits get highly-paying jobs despite their technical lack.

and where do you live? jelly u dont live in the best country in the world? haha sux fo u loser

Warren g harding was pretty fucking dumb.

?????????

why are you here?

??????

im so confused now. how stupid can you be.

Not now.

pretty much this but you need to be not such a little bitch

Just like Bush?

you mean MEANS

This, I'm gonna just say it, trumps fucking autistic and he would have never gotten so big with pol if he wasn't, autism, not /pol/ not leddit, not lack of trust in Hillary, just our autism sensing his and realizing that we have to make him president because we may never in our live get another true shit posting berg with a chance.

>trump graduated because of nepotism
>let's ignore how he successful ran his real-estate business

Your rant is what a salty wagecuck would say to someone who was happy and successful in life.

>>let's ignore how he successful ran his real-estate business
bretty good point.

you can't be a complete idiot and make billions.

A man is measured by his works, and Trump realized dozens of successful, complex projects. Buildings that will be used 100s of years after his death. Then he also became president of Clapistan against all odds.
Numales and Neets wouldnt recognize power if it hit them in the face.

The dumbest thing about this argument is that if he passively invested instead of going the entrepreneur route he would not be the president of the United States.

So...he made the right move, fucking idiot.

This is literally your brain as a leftist.

Holy shit.

ART OF THE DEAL WITH IT FAGGOT.

screenshot this. Trump will fix our cucked economy. 2025 will be 10 times better than this fucking place is now.

MAGA

Thanks for correcting the record

>screenshot this
you screenshot it you cunt

>Hurr durr Trump is retarded and will run the country into the ground he went bankrupt lol small loan of $1 million ha ha fuck drumpf he will make muslims wear crescent armbands

Meanwhile most of the people who say this shit took an $80,000 loan and turned it into a liberal arts degree that won't get them a job.

He understands business and economics far more than Obama or Hillary so cut the guy some slack and let him do his job for a little while, Jesus Christ, he's been in office for 1 week. At least he's making good on his promises so far and causing massive ass-hurt to all the people who fucked America without lube or reach around.

>Meanwhile most of the people who say this shit took an $80,000 loan and turned it into a liberal arts degree that won't get them a job.

>junior Senator (former community organizer) who ran to promote his book and got lucky cause the Dems thought it was time for a meme president

How is that impressive?

I literally just graduated from Wharton this past December.

Trump is an excellent man and it saddens me to see people from our alma mater refuse so vehemently to support him.

There are many, many rich idiots here, without a doubt, but I wouldn't say Trump was one of them.

All presidents were white and generally wealthy. Obama wasn't born with either.

Once again not knocking Trump so don't get triggered.

It's ironic poltards say shit like "we wuz kangz" when the entire board also piggy backs off the achievements of their race.

I love that Trump is elected. Can't wait for it to go to shit and all those new opportunities that will rise. It's really that time to speculate on the fall of the dollar and the euro. Good times ahead! I feel sorry though for the Americans having a guy who can't even formulate a sentence as president haha

>It's ironic poltards say shit like "we wuz kangz" when the entire board also piggy backs off the achievements of their race.
the reason we wuz kangz is funny is because afrocentrics use it to claim achievements that DONT belong to their race; most notably Egypt. I agree with what you're saying, im just clearing that up

this is not the first time we've had 'a guy who can't even formulate a sentence as president'

did you get to associate with Tiffany? She's best Trump child.

This guy is way worse though.
