I find it hard to believe that anyone with at least a high 2-digit IQ actually repeats this nonsense. Trump inherited a $400 million real estate fortune from his father in the mid-1970s (the father had a successful career, profiting in part from his willingness to cater to racists, whose views he probably shared). Trump himself made one good business decision, namely, to invest in Manhattan real estate in the 1970s; he made nothing but egregiously inept decisions thereafter, leading to multiple bankruptcies. He has never been a major player in New York real estate, in part because of his incompetence and in part because the real players--in real estate, in banking, in law--won't deal with him. For the latest evidence of his business acumen, there is also this.
