I wouldn't believe anything he says. He's been bankrupt and bust several times.  Making a comment that he has more money than Romney is idiocy. This qualifies him more than Romney?

This creature actually believes that he can be president because he's richer [he says]?

1. he addressed China's currency manipulation, a Krugman favorite.
   
2. he pointed out international free-riding on American defense spending (OPEC, South Korea). A popular issue in the progressive foreign policy community.
   
3. he pointed out the insanity of invading Iraq, which, he said, "had nothing to do with 9/11." Echoing the progressive base all of last decade.

@Donald from Hawaii:

The Donald's father, from my information, wasn't a Manhattan "Magnate & Tycoon," but rather a developer of modest apartments and "Brownstones," mostly in Queens and Brooklyn.  While quite successful, he was from the old school: hard working, solid reputation, and realistic goals. I was also told that his father was quite disappointed at the direction Donald took after coming into the family business and argued strongly  that longevity was more important than "flashy." He told Donald that his approach would only succeed in boom times and that his (the father's) approach would succeed in up markets and in down ones.

Also, in response to "scribe," Regarding Donald's, " [making] money ........through creative applications of the Bankruptcy Code:"
that makes it sound as if Donald purposely bankrupted businesses in order to gut, and strip them of any assets ala the Mafia. Unfortunately Donald isn't quite that smart. He bankrupted businesses because he's a world class failure as a business man ala George W, Bush. After attempting to be a successful business man, and failing spectacularly, he showed his true "core values," and did what any inept, spoiled brat would do, screw everyone he could.

Personally, having spent a lifetime in business, I can't tell you how many second, and third, generation beneficiaries of successful founders I've witnessed take successful businesses and drive them straight into the ground. I can't remember what the percentage of failures 2nd generations produce, other than they're extremely high. And 3'd generation successes are practically non-existant.

I think the press is reporting on what he does because if it bleeds it leads and Trump is something for them to write about. He knows how to find a product and sell it.

After the country was lied into a war, deregulation was definitively proven to be the utter farce it always was, the Rapture didn't happen, and Bush left office with a 28% approval rating, the only options left for winger diehards are the ritual of the sacred Teabag and a new spokespersons not tainted by the radioactive field of Bush/Cheney.
