Donald Trump is amazing, but he's not nearly as amazing as those that idolize him. He's symbolic of what's wrong with people today. He's got personal aircraft with gold fixtures, giant pieces of real estate with his name plastered on it, and a reality TV show. Much like his hair style, Trump is nothing poorly covered with a thin veil of machismo.
Take his show for example. One of his contestants claim that he built a multi-million dollar cigar empire. Actually it's a $425,000 dollar
cigar empire. This guy is just perfect for Trump. It took him eight years to make it worth that much. In the one year of working for Donald Trump, he'll make 250K.
What about his casinos? They just posted a loss of $1.63 a share. For those of you that have no idea what that means. It means that for every share of stock you can deduct that much from the price. What is the price of the stock? DJT is currently about $1.90 a share. That means it's worth about 37 cents a share. Of course that loss occured over a quarter. That means that they have three more periods this year to lose money like that.
Of course this is while he meets wife number three, Melania Knauss. Thats right. Third times a charm.
The thing is that it amazes me how many people idolize this man. His glitz and glamour are his greatest hindrances to becoming wealthier than Bill Gates. These are also the same type of people go to casinos. Of course, I think that the lottery is a tax on people bad at math. Oh, I voted for it but will never play it.
The ironic thing is that the people who idol's Trump are the same people who stare blankly when you ask about Buffet. Or even worse, they ask if you mean Jimmy Buffet.
Don't get me wrong the guy is worth 2.5 Billion. Of course the guy that invented Beanie Babies is worth twice that much. That's right folks, Beanie Babies.
Of course, the Trump does have a book, if you care to read it.
