Not for nothing, but this a "Trump" thread, not a "Compare Trump to Clinton" thread. It's not really answering a question about Trump to revert the dialog to be about Clinton. There's a whole other thread about her. Just sayin'.

The only other questions I see being asked in here are how can people be so stupid, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, chauvinistic, bigoted or ignorant to vote for Trump.

I'm one of two people here, and the only one who can vote on it that, openly supports Trump. How many times am I supposed to answer how can I be so stupid, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, chauvinistic, bigoted or ignorant to vote for Trump. I mean really.

So just ignore me when I bring up Hillary when questions are asked about Trump while y'all insult me, over and over again. Is what it is. Some of us were unhappy with Obama for 8 years, so now its time for someone else to be unhappy for a little while. That's the way it rolls.

But odds are Hillary will win, so you can be happy for another 8 years.

Truthfully, already I'm sick and tired of this election cycle and resigned to Hillary walking past the FBI and getting elected POTUS. All that is left in me is emptiness and despair at the entire system and learning to live the fact that all the things I was taught about life and this country was all wrong.

So if his net worth is his primary qualification (according to him, since he boasts about what a successful business man he is almost as much as he tries to portray himself as a ladies' man) and he's been lying about it (his euphemism for his pathology is "truthful hyperbole"), that should not disqualify him?

Lies about military fundraisers, lies about wealth, lies about 9/11, lies about immigrants, ad nauseum.

The only unanswered question about his pathology is, does he believe the lies he tells about himself, i.e. is he cynical or deluded?

You mean like Hillary who insists that she had permission from State for her private server ?

We could argue all day about his temperament and character, but the guy hasn't prepared at all for the job. His knowledge base relevant to the job's demands is non-existent and he has a tiny circle of third- or fourth-rate advisors.

Marco Rubio: Media Should Report ‘Truth’ About Professional Protesters Disrupting Trump

Sen. Marco Rubio is criticizing the media, urging it to report the truth about violent protests at Donald Trump rallies.
“Hope media will start to report truth, many of the violent protestorsevents are ‘professional protestors,’ not grassroots,” he said on Twitter early this morning.
Rubio added that there was a “whole industry of professional disrupters who go to events to disrupt them knowing cameras will gravitate to them.”
“These protestsnot organic,” he said.
Rubio’s comments are starkly different than his reaction to the protests in Chicago when the Florida senator was still running against Trump for the Republican nomination for president.
“I’m telling you, that this boiling point that we have now reached has been fed largely by the fact that we have a frontrunner in my party who has fed into language that basically justifies physically assaulting people who disagree with you,” Rubio said in a press conference the morning after the riots in Chicago in March.
At that time, Rubio warned the political process was careening towards chaos, and blamed Trump’s angry and bitter rhetoric during his rallies for sparking the violence.
“It’s not just about Chicago, it happened in St. Louis … this has happened repeatedly now, this is not new. This is a pattern,” he said. “You cannot say whatever you want, words have consequences.”

Articles about Trump's net worth:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/19/us/politics/donald-trump-money.html

The financial disclosure statement that Trump released to the FEC (which he claimed was the largest ever provided to the Commission and so presumably quite detailed) seems to indicate that is worth might be less than $2 billion:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/05/18/us/politics/trump-financial-disclosure.html
This last link reports on the feud between Trump and Forbes Magazine over his net worth:

http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/09/29/facts-figures-donald-trumps-real-net-worth-according-to-forbes/

"Donald Trump has said he’s worth $10 billion (or more), but his actual net worth is significantly less than that, according to an analysis by Forbes.

Randall Lane, the editor of the magazine, writes:

“Trump’s valuation this year holds extra importance, of course, due to his audacious second act: his highly unlikely – but no longer inconceivable – path to the presidency. Trump has filed statements claiming he’s worth at least $10 billion or, as he put in a press release, TEN BILLION DOLLARS (capitalization his). After interviewing more than 80 sources and devoting unprecedented resources to valuing a single fortune, we’re going with a figure less than half that – $4.5 billion, albeit still the highest figure we’ve ever had for him.” "

The man's net worth is around 10 billion. He's the presumptive candidate. Neither one is an argument for whether he's someone you would like, but I think at this point he's probably someone to take seriously.

What was Abraham Lincoln's net worth?

Thomas Jefferson's was probably negative.

Even if his net worth were one of the few things he isn't lying about it wouldn't qualify him to control nuclear launch codes.

For a man who was nearly broke at the end of the 80's, he's done pretty well since then for such a stoopid man. Think how much more he could have made if he was smart !

His net worth is questionable and is only self-declared. Tax returns are undisclosed when their disclosure would embarrass.

He is demonstrably unfit, imo, to be President. Manifest by his history, written as recently as today, in words and actions.

He will deserve serious attention only because he is highly likely to be on the ballot, but not because he is qualified to President.

I think a person's net worth is irrelevant, vs other qualifications/disqualifications, to be taken seriously as POTUS.
