A Million Dollar Loan

Tsk, tsk and boo hoo - poor guy, only one million dollars? Oh just how did he survive on just one million dollars? Eh, that's just another little tid bit of his that won't get him any brownie points from us common folk!

Yes true some politicians never care about the common people. It is the common people who give them a chance to represent and they always play with our aspirations and emotions.During the elections we should be more aware about whom we are selecting.

Donald Trump may self-destruct any number of ways. The GOP is lacking any credible candidate who is willing to buck the extreme right wing agenda.

I ewould love to have a million dollars. A loan would be ok. i could pay that back with the interest.

Well considering that fact that he was starting a real estate business (building) not a restaurant, that loan of 1 million dollars was small.

You not only are correct, you're also a good joke writer. You can compare Mr. Trump to Mr. John F. Kennedy, who also got a million from his dad, only it was a gift not a loan. The comparison ends up showing that one man is not running high on the popularity index (except with people who just can't resist him) while the other man had more charisma than any other president. This may show that while neither Kennedy nor Trump ever knew the plight of the common people, one could be, and was loved by the common people while the other may be, but more often than not, may not be so loved. Kennedy and his brother Bobby both got their million automatically on turning 21. They both helped Martin Luther King, Jr. Bobby helped Cesar Chavez. Despite the wealth, they did stuff for the ordinary, common guys and the leaders of movements that tried to help those people. Trump is more of a trickle-down theorist. If some spare change trickles down his pantleg because of a hole in his pocket, some common guy might pick up a dime or two.

Well, it just goes to show how rich he is. Being a businessman is no small feat so even with a million dollars it can still be lost if one is not careful or knowledgeable enough on how to grow and manage it.

sometimes that is what it takes i wonder if he paid daddy back?

I think what a lot of people missed in his statement about his father giving him a loan to invest in real estate, is that he was living in the New York area, which is and was very expensive. A million dollars in New York is seed money, and when it comes to commercial property, a million is a drop in the bucket. Many folks can't relate to buying commercial real estate in the NYC area, so they have nothing to compare it to. No, he didn't come up wondering where his next meal was coming from, and it is likely that if he did, and that was all he could relate to, then he wouldn't be running for president. Carson talks about separating twins, and most of us cannot identify with that, either, or the money Carson has. Carson is just as big a braggart as Donald, he just pretends he's humble.
