I don't Diary too often but this one just drove me nuts. Many and especially the Media, treat Trump as if he made his own fortune or something. I try to make this point often. He inherited a half a billion dollars and hasn't done that well with the money he has except to be a blowhard with it.

The Washington Post article only states “When I graduated from college, I had a net worth of perhaps $200,000,” - they restate that towards the end of the article. "Trump would weather the scandal, of course, and go on to build his fortune to its present day tally of $4 billion." Giving the impression Trump took 200 thousand to 4 Billion. That $200, 000 (that's grand, not grams you stoners) was basically his left over laundry money from Ivy League College. They somehow in the whole article never get around to the part where Trump inherits between 200 to 400 Million dollars. Other reports have it close to a half a billion and that's in the 1970's dollars.
Here's a good article on it from Alternet:
Exposing How Donald Trump Really Made His Fortune: Inheritance from Dad and the Government's Protection Mostly Did the Trick
If found that information in less than 9 seconds using this research tool called The Google. I asked Google "How much money did Trump inherit". Washington Post? I rest my case. Thanks for pretending even at this stage of the Trump game that he's some sort of self made billionaire.
If you take a half a billion dollars and put it in money market or wherever (I know nothing about money, my "reserved" are in taking empty beer bottles back to the store. But if he invested and got 10 percent for his money and sat back and did NOTHING for 4 decades, then he'd have about what he claims to have today just from a half a billion multiplying. Or at least 4 or 5 billion, he lies about everything and do we really think he has 10 Billion? Not.
He's a failure really at everything. Even at being rich. Bankruptcies and fake Universities, crashed and burned casino's and Atlantic City. He resorted to Reality TV and just selling giant gold plastic name plates for others to put on their buildings.
Watch for those TRUMP signs to be coming down from buildings almost as quick as the Confederate flag in South Carolina next week.
His brand might go down with his CEO friends, but sorry GOP and GOP Candidates. Trump ain't going nowhere, he's resonating with all those FOX'ed News viewers and primary voters, and if he does drop, it's to The Trump Party and he's taking all his ReTrumplikans with him.
