Rubio should drop out now before being butt ed at home, tbh. That's only going to dig him in a deeper hole for his post-candidacy career.

... says your garden-variety conned Trump supporter
I don't think it says anything to respect Trump for his success & wealth. Getting rich the way Trump did is hard, it's not luck like founding a popular website tthat happens to click with billions of people.
Most people who don't agree with whatever political platform hes on still give him the nod for being a success.
He'd been lying about how "really rich" he is, like he lies about everything. He was born to wealth, privilege, connections, networks, and handed $1M or more from his father. yep, one tough life.
It also helps when your daddy leaves you a fortune and his rolodex.
$1M is not much compared to his current net worth.
Don't see what the problem is. I'd like to be so rich. Best recommendation is that of a long-time employee - shades of Mr. Darcy and his housekeeper.
100 millions, not 1
It was a $1M loan that he paid back.
no....
...that would be 8.2 billion today....trump claims he is worth 8.7 bilion...Some articles claim that Donald Trump's inheritance was somewhere between 40 and 200 million in 1979
Yes, he said so.
http://www.alternet.org/story/156234..._did_the_trickIn 1990, due to excessive leveraging, The Trump Organization revealed that it was $5 billion in debt ($8.8 billion by some estimates), with $1 billion personally guaranteed by Trump himself. The survival of the company was made possible only by a bailout pact agreed upon in August of that same year by some 70 banks, allowing Trump to defer on nearly $1 billion in debt, as well as to take out second and third mortgages on almost all of his properties. If it were not for the collective effort of all banks and parties involved in that 1990 deal, Trump’s business would have gone bankrupt and failed.
http://www.alternet.org/story/156234..._did_the_trickDespite the clear societal and governmental assistance described above, Trump continues to be outspoken in his criticism of government. In his book The America We Deserve, Trump explains that “the greatest threat to the American Dream is the idea that dreamers need close government scrutiny and control. Job one for us is to make sure the public sector does a limited job, and no more.” This quote proves to be particularly ironic when considering Trump’s feelings about eminent domain laws. He was quoted as saying, “I happen to agree with it 100 percent” when speaking of the 2005 Supreme Court decision on Kolo v. New London, which affirmed the government’s ability to transfer land from one private owner to another for the purpose of economic development in the area. In fact, Trump attempted to take advantage of eminent domain laws on multiple occasions, once even demanding that an elderly widow give up her home so that he could build a limousine parking lot.
Oh brother... not this again... same old rehash.
That 2007 deposition also revealed that in 2005, two separate banks had assessed Trump’s assets and liabilities before agreeing to lend him money. One, North Fork Bank, decided he was worth $1.2 billion, while Deutsche Bank found he was worth no more than $788 million.This post is about Donald Trump—sorry!—but the topic is something I've been a little curious about for a while: how much of Trump's wealth is inherited vs. earned? The basics are easy: Trump's father turned over control of the family real estate business to him in 1974. At the time, it was worth about $200 million. Trump would eventually inherit one-fifth of this, so his share of the company was worth about $40 million to start with.
Over at National Journal, Shirish Dáte estimates that if Trump had put that money into an index fund of S&P 500 stocks, it would be worth about $3 billion today. If he'd taken the $200 million he was reportedly worth in 1982 and done the same, he'd be worth $8 billion. So how does that compare to Trump's actual net worth?
