According to Forbes and NYT he's still worth about $2.5B after all his debts.

You do realise that those Forbes figures aren't independently verified and are sometimes just the figure that the person submits with no supporting documents

In fairness nearly all of the Apprentice was based in NYC. They only did 1 season in California and it turned into a weird Big Brother thing where the losing team had to sleep in tents in the garden after a task

Aha. Having never watched an episode, I thought it was filmed there.

Anyway, claiming the #IMPOTUS did anything at all FOR nyc is fatuous. He did for himself. Period. NYC did better when tech started to boom, jobs increased and crime dropped. Trump had nothing to do with any of this. Madness to suggest otherwise.

Oh, and having grown up there, an anecdote: My brother worked the copy desk at the NY Post and the NY Daily News from the mid-70's through mid-1980's. During the '80s at the Post, Steve Dunleavy (a 'society' columnist that Murdoch brought in when he bought the post), would run interference for Trump at the Copy Desk, basically, he would regularly come by, hobnob with the copy writers like my brother, and kill stories about Trump or get them changed. Totally corrupt stuff when you think about it. But, my brother was able to get an autograph of Dunleavy from me and an autographed copy of a book he wrote , "The Very First Lady." I no longer have either and Dunleavy passed away a number of years ago.

Trump apparently did embarrassing things at places like Studio '54 that got covered up in media. No surprise, Trump himself has alluded to his adventures from time to time.

Really selfish of him to want to make life better for the middle class and reignite the american dream.

And since we are quoting for prosperity!

I am quoting this as a typical example of how these responses usually go. Your assertion that he wants to makes life better for anyone is completely unprovable when it comes to characters like trump. His word rarely consistently match his actions. He isn't exactly someone to do anything for others and he is too busy stirring shyte in order to win a being awsonest president (in his mind) while failing to do any of the hard word that real leadership requires (diplomacy, planning, reasoned thought, compassion etc etc etc)

You prefer words over actions?

Do you like asking irrelevant questions? What does that mean?

I'm trying to understand where you are coming from. I can only assume you are under the impression that trump is a man of action and he does what he says.
If that is your assumption then let's start there, because I challenge that.
He says that he needs to to get out of a hole and rarely follows through with any action.

I had always assumed IMPOTUS was a play on impotence, rather than impeachement.:o

Still though, nothing is better than SCROTUS, which was floating round 4 years ago.

Also the word Trump is better I think. It's massively hated.

A lengthy read on how, at the urging of the #IMPOTUS, Foxconn 'conned' the state of Wisconsin taxpayers into spending hundreds of millions of dollars on illusory businesses. Pretty much surreal experience - buildings rented, never equipped, employees with no work to do, empty shells of buildings. And apparently this is something Foxconn did worldwide regularly.

I have a feeling banging on about this in Wisconsin might sway the voting away from the #IMPOTUS.

So , Rudi does it again, saying the quiet parts out loud.

Having already admitted that he used the New York Post , because they wouldn't do stuff like validate the information , he now says this.

Even if Hunter Laptop Story ‘Isn’t Accurate,’ Americans ‘Are Entitled to Know It’

So , went to the NYP to avoid actual journalistic fact checking and wants the story out there even if it isn't true.

Yep... Building a solid story there Rudi.

#IMPOTUS == Trump

I don't think anyone else is as confused as you are, sometimes being "technically" correct is not the best kind of correct (especially as twitter wasn't around in the Clinton years).

It's also a play on words given the flaccidness of little Donald's presidency so far (which is also a play on how narcissistic he is as most other politicians don't really pay attention to being made fun of, while it seems to make Donny's little hands shrivel up real tight).

When someone uses #POTUS, do you ask them about Washington?

There are two Presidents who were impeached by Congress. There's nothing original about it. It's completely stupid. And why would you replace Trump with a nickname? It's a hated name because of Donald Trump.

And if you wanted to have a #, I think they are all stupid and should only be used on the site of the stupid that is Twitter, why not use #lyingPOtuS?

And those two small letters are there on purpose

I think you and Trump would get on well, he argues up is down too.

I mean, really, if you want to go after hashtags, twitter et al, then there's plenty of places on the internet to fight that cause.

For now, anytime you don't say Trump directly, everyone can ask you which president did you mean.

You can disagree with the play on words that is IMPOTUS, but it has taken hold, I think I explained the reasons why it's used clearly (I'm not a particular fan of it). Feel free to disagree and move on with your life.

the #IMPOTUS hashtag works on many levels.

You are telling me to go somewhere else to complain about Twitter but you are using Twitter hastags on boards.ie and I shouldn't discuss how stupid they are?

Like the say
Trump is the only one who has signed the FRONT of the cheque.
His detractors in Washington , the dems , Biden etc have only been signing the back.

People have always been asking the wrong question
The question isnt why has a billionaire chosen to become the 45th POTUS .
The real question to be asked is how did career politicians like Pelosi, Feinstien, Biden, Maxine Waters who have never 'worked' a day in their lifes amass multi-million dollar portfolios and net worth.

He’s not a billionaire

salmocab

I’d imagine a reason the IMPOTUS thing stuck is that calling people names is the level that he operates at. It wouldn’t have stuck to anyone else in this way.

Oh It's a multilayered deeply sophisticated attack! At least we can understand why it is used in every second post while anyone who pushes back against anything Trump-related are all cast as cultists. You have your own little language that you have built up amongst yourself, it's bizarre. I remember there was one poster who always wrote like Sean Hannity, 'Shiffty Schiff' etc., that is what it sounds like.

Would the thread be any better to read if everyone did that? If every time you made a point you got all that Hannity style sh!te in return. It's just tiring and even if it was clever the first time, do you know people who repeat the same digs, jokes over and over again?

So your calling the wonder of French Louis XIV architectural masterpiece Versailles Hall Of Mirrors .. cheap !
Thats interesting ..

Ive done a bit of gold plating in my life, some small bits of furniture and frames. Have you ?
Its pretty expensive for the material , but the real cost is for the expertise they charge a fortune.
Nothing cheap about it.

The left TDS is always finding new ways to alter reality .. they now claim that a gold plated 50th floor penthouse suite in Manhattan is cheap or tasteles.

Anyways I can see littles changed here, lots of money to be made before election day and nothing any of us can do about the election result. Its been a blast for 4 years. May the best ballot harversters win (joke)

You don't understand what analogy means, do you?
