Donald Trump offers to buy out investor in New York mosque site

Wrong. His father partnered with him in his first deal which was a little talked about slumlord apartment complex he bought while in college. He made 6mil on that deal... If that isn't help I don't know what is. All my dad gave me was a pat on the back - so I'd say 6mil counts for something.

He also used all of his father's contacts to get himself through the door when it came to school (Wharton's) then parlayed his namesake into the Manhattan entrepreneur/bourgeois scene.

His father is a huge reason he's where he is today.

Interesting. I read some books about him but never read that. 6 mil is definately a nice foundation to start, and contacts help.

The biggest thing to me was the debt he got into and still managed to bounce back. Ive known people who have also claimed to have lost high six figure/millions and bounce back. I admire those stories. His means a lot less if he was doing it all relatively risk free.
 


It was also his siblings who kept him afloat through the rough times with DADDY'S money..

He borrowed tens of millions from his own family while he was getting back together.

Of course, he'll never publicize that he borrowed from his family.

I still love his buildings, but after seeing how he fucks over contractors I don't have the same adoration for him I used to.

Yeah that spoils a lot of it. There goes another role model.

Bill Gates has a complex about being rich and acts like success is reliant on luck.

Trump wasnt taking any of the risk I thought he was.

If I find out 50 Cent actually had an uncle in the music industry, I'm going to have to just stick to history for role models.
 
Donald fail. You need the right Trump for the job.

Let's not knock Trump, some of us grew up reading Art of the Deal in the bathroom daily for years straight.

Not ME of course, but I'm sure some did.
