All the leftwingers are going along with this silliness. Again, it DOESN'T work for vacant second and third homes unless you are renting them out. They are money pits.

The only way I can explain it is I don't have anyone to answer to like a landlord. If something needed repair or replaced I didn't have to wait for the maint. man to finally fix it later, I did it the same day.

It makes sense that sanders built his wealth this way. He gets a big advance on his books, puts it into real estate and it pays off

The OP writes about the Trump fairy tale story. Reality by facts is below:

Trumps father was only the beginning of Trump using and losing other people and banks money.
Trump has borrowed from questionable banks and then filed numerous bankruptcies

President Donald Trump’s latest personal financial disclosure was released Thursday afternoon, showing that Trump, who already owed more money than any other president in history, borrowed millions more in 2018 from a bank whose CEO won a federal appointment months later

Deutsche Bank cumulatively loaned Donald Trump more than $2 billion over two decades when he was in real estate

The bank was one of the few on Wall Street that would take a risk with Trump following his casino bankruptcies, The Times reported in 2016 ahead of that year's presidential election. ("Several bankers on Wall Street say they are simply not willing to take on what they almost uniformly referred to as 'Donald risk,'" The Times Susanne Craig reported.)

Trump inflated his net worth on several occasions. He once said he was worth around $3 billion, but the bank said it was more like $788 million — yet Deutsche Bank continued to work with him

A loan listed on Donald Trump’s personal financial disclosure forms appears to be hiding a scheme in which he got tens of millions from Deutsche Bank and never reported the income to the IRS. It all adds up to a huge violation of federal tax law that Trump is hiding behind one of the many LLCs that make up the Trump Organization

Trump took a big loan from Trump and never paid Trump back ... because it's a tax scam

A New York judge has ruled that President Trump must pay $2 million in damages to settle claims that the Trump Foundation misused funds

According to the judgment, that money "was used for Mr. Trump's political campaign and disbursed by Mr. Trump's campaign staff, rather than by the Foundation," which is unlawful. However, Justice Saliann Scarpulla says the funds did eventually reach charity organizations supporting veterans

So if the all the two million dollars reached the veterans, how was the $2 million misued? You really need to read and understand the links you post.

Most of his wealth is just on paper. So you are right....its not cash in the bank until he sells

I find it hilarious listening to you people try to prop up this failure of a man. "Well, Sanders' wealth is on paper...but still".

Priceless.

Meanwhile the president has gobs of spendable cash he actually EARNED.

Under a settlement, the president admitted he had used his charity to bolster his campaign and settle business debts.

So now you are the judge and jury of who in society is a failure or a success? You must hate Jesus since he started out as a tradesman and ended up as a bum living on donations and handouts..

In this case, yes, because it is so obvious. Sanders has been an abject failure, and Trump has been an enormous succeess ln life.

Thanks for all your posts to Mashmont's thread, making Mash the most responded to thread-creator in DP history.

Mash is like Trump in so many ways. A lot of superlatives.

Owning and living in your primary residence is better than renting in the long term. This doesn't work for vacation homes and extra homes. They are money pits. But this isn't even the issue. The point is everything this guy has emanates from his political career. He didn't have a pot to pee in before he got into office at age 40.

Making a career change (choice?) which allows one to better their lot in life (other than becoming a career criminal) is not a negative thing. There are many "without a pot to pee in" (living meager paycheck to meager paycheck) who lack the initiative to change a darn thing and are raising children, with "safety net" assistance, to follow in their footsteps. They may well be Sanders supporters (endlessly?) hoping for Uncle Sugar to offer them ever more "safety net" assistance thus turning a McJob into a McCareer and hoping to live on a McRetirement (minimum Social Security benefits alone).

You really need to read and understand the links you post. And
You really should tell the entire story before you post this Bullsh...t on Trump's business career.

Even while in college, Trump was investing in apartment complexes. He became a mutli-billionaire successfully renovating New York City landmark buildings, and getting into other holdings.

What you didn't mention, it wasn't Trump investing it was his father and banks. Then Trump screwed them all by his failures and bankruptcies.

Calling anyone an "abject failure" who has a multi-million dollar net worth is ridiculous.

Yeah, an able-bodied man on the government dole for 20 years is a bad thing for even an average citizen, but for a candidate for president it is beyond unacceptable. And again, he didn't land a real private-sector job. He got a political job

Ill-gotten gain from the back of taxpayers far beyond his salary.
