Why anyone who admires the guy wouldn't know he's going to do that is beyond me. Yet no one questions how Obama went from a millionaire to a billionaire in a heartbeat never selling a product. Where did his fortune come from, and can we see his tax returns? Pelosi = billionaire Menendez = Crook and still a US senator while GOP Congressman was forced to resign. How much money invested (not dump) into Truth Social? When did he dump it? Just more of your lies and propaganda.

Trump is going to pump and dump harder than Roy Munson's landlady and then once his supporters lose money on this he's gonna say "Joe Biden sabotaged this stock and made you lose all your money" and they'll swallow the hook yet again. If you feel the stock is going to pushed higher quickly due to Trump supporters or speculators, feel free to invest $500,000, make some quick money in 2 weeks, then dump the stock. I love how you feel Trump had no risk investing my guess hundreds of millions of dollars in a startup company. Anyone thinking is easy to startup a company, go for it, put your house and life savings into it. I hope it works out for you. But all of you won't do it, you would rather sit on the sidelines and then bash others for being successful. Sad really, I thought Democrats are all inclusive with DEI and all they peddle.

He born on third and believes he hit a triple. If the average Joe could catch even a couple of those breaks we'd all be rich.

And no if that was the average joe, we'd likely be broke after the first bankruptcy. We have neither the resources, knowledge or access to knowledgeable people that do these things for a living. So odds are already stacked against us. Filing bankruptcy for a failing business is the best way to protect your personal cash. Trump is far from the only wealthy person that has/will do this.

I am sorry you never learned to work hard and live the American dream and are jealous of anyone who did. You see a billionaire does not need excuses of how they failed financially. They also don't need to run for POTUS and all of the grief from being and running for the office. Did Biden donate his salary to charity? How about Obama? No, they did not, only President Trump did this. Guys like you will never get it, this guy could be golfing 7 days a week, he could be hosting parties with friends and family, could vacation 26 weeks a year anyplace he desired. Instead, he sees the country pride in the dumper, he sees the Democrats left the middle class, left black and Hispanic voters they used for years, but never helped them succeed. He sees a world in chaos and Biden without a clue how to fix it. So, he runs again, his reward is our corrupt deep state government uses the FBI, DOJ and CIA to attempt to keep him off the ballot and put him jail while bankrupting his and his family's business. The ironic part is the liberals spread false propaganda saying Trump will end Democracy while their actions against Trump are ending Democracy. They are saying future actions of Trump will end Democracy as they attempt to keep Trump and RFK Jr. off the ballot. The Democrats claim they are all inclusive until Trump or RFK Jr. challenge their views and attempt to strip their power, then the lies and organized fake media propaganda begins. Funny thing, I just learned it was Trump who invented "Fake Media", it was actually Hillary Clinton who said it first attacking Fox News. It was Trump who proved the liberal news stations were fake. HRC fires and misses, Trump fires and a blood bath ensues in the media. I enjoy seeing the clips of the biggest liars in cable news at CNN and MSNBC lose their minds, Trump owns them and lives in their head. RE: Truth Social going public net Trump estimated 2 to 4 BILLION - pally - 04-03-2024 We get it Luvnit, Trump is all that is good and holy and we mere mortals should bow down to his greatness. But lets get real -no salary...he claimed that he took no salary and that he gave the money back to the government but no organization actually acknowledged receiving any money. And of course we never saw his tax returns so I'll believe it when I see it. Trump, BTW, was the 3rd president not to take a salary. Herbert Hoover, a real self-made millionaire, and Kennedy. -while he claims he took no salary Trump financially benefitted well above what he would have made. He made millions from influencers staying at the Trump Hotel across the street. He made millions from charging the Secret Service full rate at Mar-a-Lago (where he also doubled the initiation fees...can't have the rabble joining) and other Trump Hotels where he and his family almost exclusively stayed. He made money by charging them full price for carts at his golf courses. Those same golf courses that he PROMISED he would be too busy to use but managed to multiple days a week. He forced military flights to go out of their way to Scotland for refueling so they would have to use a Trump Hotel for lodging. -He hosted parties every weekend at Mar-a-Lago. He walked through the dining room and dined behind velvet ropes like he was a museum piece. He regularly crashed functions in the ballrooms. Sales pitch...pay our crazy prices and the President will make an appearance. -why did so many of his cabinet and senior officials resign because of corruption or incompetence? - If he was President out of the goodness of his heart...where in the hell is he? Why isn't he working with Biden to improve things? Why isn't he telling his followers that Joe Biden was duly elected and they need to respect that? Why is he doing everything in his power to undermine the Biden Presidency...even going as far as to claim any positive economic news is only due to his presence? He succeeded for the first 3 years of his Presidency because he was handed a good economy. His true measure as President showed when the pandemic hit. His abysmal leadership through that tanked the economy, destroyed the supply chain, and left millions unemployed. He refused any transition information to the incoming Biden administration. Joe Biden walked into an alligator pit. And while there have been some stumbles and missteps have managed to get the economy back on the right track. Is it perfect...nope. Are people still feeling some economic pain...yes. But I know and anyone who is really paying attention knows, that we are a helluva lot better off now than we would be if Trump was President. Trump couldn't lead himself out of a paper bag when in trouble. Oh, and Barack Obama is a millionaire not a billionaire. He made his post-presidency money by writing multiple best sellers, speaking fees, and media production. He ran for President for power and for his ego not to "save the country" but you believe what you will. - RE: Truth Social going public net Trump estimated 2 to 4 BILLION - GMDino - 04-03-2024 (04-03-2024, 01:33 AM)Luvnit2 Wrote: I am sorry you never learned to work hard and live the American dream and are jealous of anyone who did. Oh goodie...another board member who knows more about me than I do! We are not talking about me or Biden or Obama or anyone else. Pally already explained that you bought everything Trump said he would do and he has provided no proof he did it, so let me get back to your point about Truth Social: Trump didn't invest anything. He never invested in anything of his money...that's why he has all those loans. That why he can't get a loan in the US anymore and they got their money from Russia and other countries. Trump's business plan is to have an idea, convince rubes to invest and then slap his name on it. He's doing it right now with his legal fees and you and others are donating money to the "billionaire" to help him pay his fines. He didn't do anything to invent Truth Social. Someone else, smart people, created the site. He just told them to do it so he could continue to lie online. So if you want to talk about any of that go for it. Give me some proof that Trump invested in Truth Social. Otherwise just admit you are wrong and that you, like millions of others, have bought into the myth of Trump and not the "Truth".

Two people saying I'm jealous? Cool. No. See to me, and I have said this consistently, money isn't the end all be all of my existence. I know I could have worked harder, chosen a different career, done any number of things differently and been "rich". Instead I chose to work so I could be home every evening, never miss one of my kid's events and spend time with my family on weekends and holidays. I don't begrudge anyone who works hard and has lots of money if that makes them happy. As an example Bill Gates is a billionaire. He worked hard and made his own way. I'm not jealous of him either. Trump isn't someone who worked hard for anything. As I said he has received every break and all his father's money. It was handed to him. And does he ever seem happy? Well, except when everyone is cheering for Trump that is. Does Trump ever "give back" for all the "good fortune" he has had in his life? Heck he can't even run a charity anymore because he took money from it. But for the sake of argument I'll give you a couple examples: I have a friend who was handed his father's company after college. His father got it from my friend's grandfather. My buddy worked for it. He got the education, he put in the hours and did all the things he needed to do to keep it afloat and to grow it. Now, in his 50's and with no children to take it over, he has moved more to allowing the employees to run the day to day stuff while he spends more time with his wife. He also "found god" at some point and is involved with several groups that preach Christianity. He's happy. I don't hold anything he does against him. Nor am I jealous of him because that is his life. I've said before my best friend is a doctor. Came from a dirt poor background. Worked hard, got a ton of loans, a now has a thriving practice along with other business ventures within the medical field. He takes multiple vacations every year with his wife and kids and their husbands/boyfriends and some of his extended family. They've been to Europe and Africa (twice...lol). They go on every adventure they can while on a trip. He works a tremendous amount but knows that his family is the important thing so to make up for hours he can't be home he makes sure to give them quality time every chance he can. I don't hold anything he does against him. Nor am I jealous of him because that is his life. I don't make near as much as those two. I didn't have to work as hard as those two. And I'm happy. It's not jealousy because no amount of money or "success" can ever make Trump a good person...a happy person. And I'd rather be happy than that. RE: Truth Social going public net Trump estimated 2 to 4 BILLION - Luvnit2 - 04-03-2024 I applaud Obama's from going from middles class to worth 70 million. I applaud Trump for starting a company (no denying he started it due to being kicked off "X' (Twitter at the time) and Facebook. Trump saw a major need and acted on it. Even better, he made billions in 2 years for starting Truth Social. Why is it a bad thing the Trump brand was able to raise money to start a company? Trump's brand is worth billions, he built it just as companies like Coke and McDonald's built their brand.

After all of that, you still seem jealous of guys like Trump that inherited money. It's ok though. and even if he didn't invest any thing into Truth Social, His NAME is what is driving it and he's investing TIME into it by staying active and posting crap. TIME is MONEY that he could be doing other things with his Time.

What people like you don't get though is it is not jealousy. I don't like Trump because he's a bad person. I don't like that people like Luvnit post about Trump's success as a businessman when he's done nothing himself. It's about how people buy his BS. And I know, I've been told, it's a waste of time to try and convince people they are wrong or that they have fallen for his latest grift...it's just the way I am. Losing money hand over fist with a declining user base and very low advertising and he posts that that most of his "7,000.000 followers" will buy hook, line and sinker. I'm not a member of Truth...but his "truths" are all public. I'm sure lots of media people follow because it's the easiest way to see the latest lie or rant. But you're right...he could be golfing. RE: Truth Social going public net Trump estimated 2 to 4 BILLION - Luvnit2 - 04-04-2024 The problem Democrats face is their attempt to pant Trump as a "Bad Person" has failed. So, they cry wolf and attempt to take him down over and over again as a "threat to democracy" while intelligent voters see the liberal scam being perpetrated using fake media and our justice department. The voters remember the Trump economy, they remember his foreign policy and eliminating ISIS, his sanctions on Iran so they would not have the financial resources to use proxy terrorist groups (fund them) to attack and kill our troops in the middle east. They remember 4 years of Trump yielded 2.5 million illegal encounters at the border while Democrats fought border security in courts and refused to fund a border wall. They see a Biden border invasion of 7.5 million border encounters or a 300% increase in less than 4 years, and additional estimated 3 million in border get aways. They see the added illegal immigrants' major crimes of murder, armed robbery, assault and sexual assaults. They see the deaths from illegal drugs skyrocketing under Biden. Biden said, watch me. The voters are watching, and they see a weak leader. They see an absent leader. They see Bidenomics causing them financial hard ship. Democrats do have an ace in the hole, their ability to gather illegal voters to vote in swing states. Will it be enough? Can they steal enough votes to overcome the worst POTUS is our history? Jill Biden says Joe is a lock to win, we will see in November. As for this thread, Trump started a company, made billions n 2 years and liberals are losing their minds that their plan to drain Trump's wealth now has ZERO CHANCE OF WORKING, he has overcome all of the legal fees and is worth more today than ever. That upsets Democrats, it is OK for Obama to do well, but not former President Trump.
