Donald Trump attempts to claim he’s self-made. He laughably said, “It has not been easy for me. I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars. I came into Manhattan, and I had to pay him back, and I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan and I started buying properties, and I did great.” Not only is that nowhere near the actual figure, it betrays a complete lack of comprehension of just how much money that is. Trump is a spoiled little prince, daddy’s boy through and through.
Trump is UNDENIABLY where he is today thanks to his father’s real estate business. If he’d had to work at McDonald’s to save up money, all the while paying for a studio apartment, utilities, car insurance and maintenance (including expensive repair work), groceries, health insurance, clothes, emergencies, the occasional luxury … how many properties would he have bought then??
The problem people like Trump have is that they imagine they’re great because they succeeded from their elevated platform of family wealth, but they have no idea what it’s like to live an ordinary life or how difficult it is to go from poor to rich.
In his 1990 interview with Playboy, Trump spoke of a quality (“it”) that he had, and either you’re born with it or you’re not. “It” allows you to do great things. He imagines most people just don’t have “it”, and that’s why they fail in life. But the fact is that no matter what qualities he had, he would never have succeeded in the way he did had he not been born into a rich family.
Rich people think they’re so much better than everyone else. If they were you, they’d be using their time to become rich, they imagine. The real truth is of course that they’d actually be working to pay off student debt for years.
It’s EASY to get started when you have a million dollars, as opposed to … NO DOLLARS! It’s “not been easy” starting off with a million? Try starting of with literally nothing like most people do and see how far you get, huh? Maybe then you can boast about being self-made.
And apparently, even with his huge “loan” from daddy, Trump was still goddamn awful to do business with, not honoring contracts and using loopholes to screw people over! No banks wanted to deal with him! So, even when given an advantage most people could only dream of, he STILL had to resort to shady tactics!!! Anyone who thinks Trump is a good businessman needs a reality check. What are you, a fucking idiot?!
In 1992, Trump said, “I built what I built myself. I did it by working long hours, working hard and working smart. More importantly than anything else is by using my own brain. There was a point where I was making so much so fast and it was so easy that I almost got bored. It’s true.”
Oh, please. Is there anything more bewildered and silly? One moment, he wants you to see him as hard-working, and the next, he wants you to think his work was so easy he got bored by it! Which is it?? Did he work hard or was it way too easy? And where IS this magnificent brain he’s talking about? He never said anything intelligent, even back then.
Whenever Trump says, “It’s true,” you should immediately run in the opposite direction!
In 2009, he said, “I often say that I’m a member of the lucky sperm club. But did it give me a natural talent? I don’t think so. It gave me an advantage that I deliberately chose to develop into an advantage.”
Oh, we’ve been underestimating Trump this whole time!
You mean you had enormous money and decided to make the almost unfathomably intelligent choice of using it to make more money? We common people can only dream of such smarts, huh? Almost no one on earth would have made that exact same decision.
FUCK OFF, you ridiculous liar!!
In 1990, Trump told Playboy, “I like the challenge and tell the story of the coal miner’s son. The coal miner gets black lung disease, his son gets it, then his son. If I had been the son of a coal miner, I would have left the damn mines. But most people don’t have the imagination ― or whatever ― to leave their mine. They don’t have ‘it.’”
Trump’s conception of ordinary people is comical. They just don’t have the imagination to be more successful! They just can’t imagine what that would look like! It’s not a logistical problem, they’re just too dumb to think to get rich.
Hey, MAGA, you hear that? – Trump thinks you don’t have the fucking smarts to escape from your dead-end jobs! Why don’t y’all grow a spine and stand up to the guy who manipulated you into voting for him??? Have some goddamn pride!
In 2015, he said, “I’m proud of my net worth. I’ve done an amazing job.”
Sure, but this guy says the same thing about literally everything he does. Even when something is a total flop, he still describes it as a huge success. That’s what we call delusional.
Enough already! Trump’s regime is headed for disaster. Trump isn’t a man of the People; he’s a total fraud and a conman with no talent. He’s an elitist rich guy who was born into advantage, he didn’t make his own way in the world, like most of us do. In fact, he’s incapable of doing that.
DELENDA EST TRUMPISMUS!
