no man sheesh. it's not just some of his policies, or even his lack of articulation on demonstrating on how he would carry them out. it's how he carries himself with a lack of class. as if he is running an election more like a reality tv show that he undeniably has experience with. which to some of the population that would make some feel he is placating to that segment that sits around watching survivor, american idol, nascar, a certain % of kardasian viewers, etc etc etc that doesn't travel out of the country much if at all. that never picks up a book, not even a trash fiction novel from time to time. not much exercise if at all week to week. which certain countries around the world western europe, brazil, argentina, japan, thailand, korea, south africa, etc etc etc have a perception of a certain type of american. reality tv watching, overweight slob.
Through your twisted logic and pitiful lack of facts you have correlated a man who successfully created a multi-billion dollar business and who has a supermodel wife into an overweight slob. Does not compute.
why does it not commute? he can still be crass, and act like a buffoon while being a good with real estate & business. he can placate to that segment while still being good at buying property in nyc and other areas. he can do all of these things while at the same time make a horrible president. if you can't separate these things that's no one's fault but your own. p.s. sometimes attractive women like guys that wear toupees and have lots of money.
Trump hasn't really done anything as a business man. The fact of the matter is that he'd be worth 10 billion more if he'd stopped working and only invested 30 years ago. http://www.moneytalksnews.com/why-youre-probably-better-investing-than-donald-trump/ If Trump had never worked and simply invested his 40 million inheritance he'd still be very close to where he is now. They guy had the advantage of a 40 million inheritance and hasn't really done that much with it. He's slightly ahead of the game had he just invested right then.
Dumb statement, rooted only in your extreme bias. lol at the S&P 500 analogy. You don't have a clue about business.
he's a biased liberal troll. Teachers believe they are much smarter than they really are because they're surrounded by young kids all day who don't know much about life and certainly not about business. These kids are the people they engage in discussion day in and day out, so they are never challenged, leading them to think they are far smarter than they are.
I haven't stated what I believe - sound like you are saying Obama is a racist but not really saying why. I find it funny how conservatives who have never experienced racism (other than hearing someone call them a cracker at a concert) know so much about racism and can claim it never exists or that Obama is racist because...you know - he just is. The problem with Jeb Bush isn't that he is a reasonable guy and under the right circumstances wouldn't make a good president - it's that with the current congress he'd be awful because he'd let all sorts of crazy tax cuts happen and result in another massive recession. We don't need a guy to cut taxes more for the rich and make them richer and tank the economy. Trickle down isn't working. Actually you are showing you don't know much about business. For every dollar invested in the S&P 500, you'd make 30x. That's a pretty awesome return.
Very well put. Most professions out there require you to constantly stay up with your field. This requires ambition and drive. Pretty much everyone I knew who ended up teaching selected it as a last alternative of getting a respectable job.
That's just a crappy thing to say. There's plenty of teachers who like teaching and actually care about education. Just because you somehow hang out with the dregs of society or whatever isn't a reason to insult a guy. Pathetic.
sigh. so is this a new thing going on, or have teachers always been awful at their chosen field? i wonder how humankind has made this far through history with advancement. if only there could have been 30-40% ratio of better teachers the last 100 years we would have flying cars and hover boards by now.
I've read it, lol! It's no wonder our schools are pure 100% garbage that don't do any good at all for anyone. lol!
Were making this ignorant statement on purpose to be ironic? Teaching where I do requires constant professional development and constant study in order to stay up with the field. It's actually a requirement in order for teachers to keep their job. It's also tied to any increases in their wages. But it's interesting that you don't consider teaching a respectable job. Do you not value the education of children? Dear god, you couldn't have been more wrong about your claim that teachers don't need to stay up with the field at least where I teach. Put you can spout off anything you like no matter how ignorant and completely wrong and uninformed it is.
You're saying you didn't have good teachers. Well teachers are important. And I wish you did have good teachers. We need to support teachers, so we don't have people who are dissatisfied with their educations like you.
I completely disagree. They are all great teachers. They do very well connecting with their students. Its something I couldnt do. That said, if it wasn't for teaching, they would struggle elsewhere in the professional world. I had a few very good teachers, ones who made a difference to me. Most were run of the mill teachers who I have long since forgotten about. Not bad at all, just not memorable. I also had a couple terrible teachers who should never have been teaching. Its not because they didnt know the material, but because they simply did not know how to connect with students.
No need to fly into a rage and insult someone's profession. From one of FB's links: "Imagine Trump had retired in 1982, sold his real estate holdings and invested his $500 million in the S&P 500 — that is, 500 stocks representing the American stock market. From 1982 through the end of 2014, the S&P 500 index had an annualized return, including reinvested dividends, of 11.86 percent, according to MoneyChimp’s S&P 500 Compound Annual Growth Rate calculator. Per this calculator, every dollar invested in January 1982 would have been worth $40 by December of 2014. That means Trump’s initial $500 million would have grown to $20 billion. That’s twice what Trump says he’s worth today." Personally, I think it's a weak analysis. (For one because they accept his inflated claim from 1982, when he reportedly didn't even have half of that in total worth, and for another it doesn't account for the expenses of a very fun-filled lavish lifestyle. Mostly it's just too simple-minded, a rough draft sort of thing.) But it's an interesting idea to compare a supposed tycoon's investment performance to S&P 500. It just would take more diligent work that this one column presents. But in any case, Trump's supposed business savvy is very open to debate and will continue to be debated. We can definitely say he hasn't lost all his family's money. And we can say he definitely has a lot of money. Many scenarios fit those two data points. I'm much more concerned that he's turning to increasingly dangerous and disturbing rhetoric to stay in the spotlight and to mobilize his angry and in many cases not-very-thoughtful followers.
