+susieice Posted March 21, 2016 #2576 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Her current worth. I've heard as high as $80 million. Trump had 3 siblings so the family fortune was divided by 4 and whoever else that may have been named. http://www.newsmax.c...6/15/id/650573/ Excuse me. Had to edit. Trump had 4 siblings. His father's estate was divided by 5 and whatever his mother was given, usually half. One brother is now deceased. That was Fred, Jr. http://www.celebfami...ump-family.html His brother Robert is alive and well. He lives on Long Island. http://pagesix.com/2...robert-emerges/ His sister Maryann is the judge who just received the letter in Philadelphia. Can't find any reference to where his sister Elizabeth is, but she is still living. Edited March 21, 2016 by susieice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromdor Posted March 21, 2016 #2577 Share Posted March 21, 2016 A lot of chump change in the family. Donald also inherited the real estate business and the business contacts from his father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted March 21, 2016 #2578 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) His sister Elizabeth is involved with Chase Manhattan Bank. All of the Trump siblings hold good positions in life and probably all of them have increased their net worth all on their own.

Gromdor Posted March 21, 2016 #2579 Share Posted March 21, 2016 No doubt about that. Think how much more net worth you could build with no college debt, a paid for house, and seed money for a business idea. I've met my share of people with big dreams but no money to start it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted March 21, 2016 #2580 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The Bush family weren't a bunch of slouches either. http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/republicans/bush-family-net-worth/ And certainly not the Kennedys. http://nypost.com/2015/06/01/jfk-was-way-richer-than-the-wealthiest-2016-candidate/ A person's personal wealth doesn't necessary dictate what their Presidency would be. Obama was not born wealthy. Neither was Lincoln. Many were wealthy before coming to office like George Washington and others went bankrupt after leaving office. http://247wallst.com/banking-finance/2010/05/17/the-net-worth-of-the-american-presidents-washington-to-obama/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc14 Posted March 21, 2016 #2582 Share Posted March 21, 2016 How does each candidates plan affect your paycheck. http://www.youngcons.com/how-candidates-tax-plans-will-affect-your-wallet-if-theyre-elected/ Bernie's plan is a killer and like all democrat projections you can double the damage and be a lot closer to the truth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted March 21, 2016 #2583 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Looks like the lower income brackets get an upswing under Trump and the upper ones earn, but not as much as under Cruz. Cruz also has a lower increase in the lower brackets. A lot of red there under the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the crux of the progressive dogma and it is an evil that most people don't understand. If you work hard your whole life and become successful then they call you evil for taking things, they never had, from them. Everyone should suck together on the bottom rail is the mantra except for the snakes at the top like Hillary. It is a horror.

Gromdor Posted March 21, 2016 #2585 Share Posted March 21, 2016 According to that CBS link both Trump's and Cruz's plan will increase the debt by 9.5 trillion and 8.5 trillion respectively while Clinton's supposedly reduces the debt by 1.2 trillion. Seems like the Young Conservatives want to keep and believe the first set of numbers but laugh off the second set that goes with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted March 21, 2016 #2591 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The middle class is barely above pauper now. None of the candidates are really addressing them. Just watched Hillary address the AIPAC. First she talked about things being unnegotiable. Then she talked about negotiating. All this time, she backed the Iranian nuclear deal. Everyone sat there and clapped. That's politics!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranormal Panther Posted March 21, 2016 #2595 Share Posted March 21, 2016 This is going to be interesting to watch. Both conventions are in July, first the Republican and a week later, the Democrat. All Clinton needs to do is wait to see what happens. Also, even in a National Election, there is also a write in ballot. People do seem to be in an uproar. I hope that we can find a third alternative between a protest vote and the status quo. Neither option is palatable. I don't want Trump to win, but I don't want business-as-usual to continue. My best hope, right now, is that Trump will choose a great running mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.ZZ. Posted March 21, 2016 #2596 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Here's a live youtube link for anybody interested: I watched Trump's speech and I will say that a prepared text and teleprompter is not his strong suit. He is better when "shooting from the hip". He came across as using every pro-Israel cliche' in the book, and much of it sounded like pandering to the crowd. Did anyone else notice as he was leaving the stage you could see he was wearing a bullet-proof vest? I can't say I blame him. Also, you can see that Cruz is wearing a vest too if you look closely.

+susieice Posted March 21, 2016 #2597 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I was really impressed. Trump gave a speech full of specifics that showed exactly how well he understands the Iranian deal, what it's affects will be and how he will remedy it. He went on to talk about the UN and what he will do about that. The audience was really quite receptive. He really chewed into Obama and his policies. Trump told them he is not a politician and showed he has the friends to assist him in understanding and keeping his promises and he sure isn't afraid to say what he means. Cruz is on now, and I'm not seeing that level in his speech. He's trying hard though. Wouldn't want to be Hillary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidhead Posted March 21, 2016 #2600 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Just as my suspicion told me... he is 100% pro-Israel. A couple weeks ago he said he was "neutral" on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. In this speech he said he supports Jerusalem as Israels capital city. Always go with what your gut tells you. Trust your instinct. Expect the jew-media to change their tune on him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
