Did Trump have advantages? Sure he did, but you could use your metrics to judge almost any billionaire, what if Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs werent born close to other people playing with computers, Cuban sold his dog shit company at the height of the tech bubble, were they all lucky or did they make the best of their situation?
Donald Trump

I'd rather be lucky with a significant head start than lucky without one. As in, I want to be lucky starting with AA in the hole than with KK. At any rate, no big deal to me. It's just that, in the spirit of fairness, we can now discuss the "affirmative action" Trump got, since it's pointless to continue that line of criticism about Obama.
: )
Man, if a rep becomes potus, it's going to be a hoot, subtracting 8 years from the current date in a P&R search and copy/pasting with a bit of editing all the BS that's been posted about Obama!
Obama was a community organiser before he became president do you really think hes even on the same level? The skillset Trump obtained through running a multi billion dollar empire is miles ahead of anything obama did before becoming president.
He was also a lawyer.
He taught constitutional law at Uni of Chicago for 12 years. Why does this fact always get overlooked by the republican minds?
That's not all, check the wiki on him. He's vastly more qualified by education to be a statesman than any businessman could hope to be. And why not, businessmen are typically too busy making money to be real scholars.
Where for some reason no one can find anything published by him or any thesis, or any documentation whatsoever......... Geeee which one is more qualified, leader of a multi billion dollar company, or university prof. LOL, If i was on your side of the debate id be embarassed to compare Obama's resume to Trumps.
WashPost fact checker, LOL. They are so biased they make MSNBC look reasonable. Their approach is to parse any statement by a republican or conservative, then of course nitpick anything that is 100% literally true. This is typical. Trump made an off the cuff claim about lawsuits. in fact, he had won a number of rulings.
He was also correct in saying the students had largely given the course a high ranking. The Post, and Trump-deranged Megyn Kelly, argued that the students later changed their minds. Did they change their minds because class action lawyers held out the potential of getting some money back? Or did their unrealistic expectations that Donald would guide their real estate career lead to disappointments? Who knows.
Pretty much any real estate or trading course is guilty of making overly optimistic promises, overstating the qualifications of the instructors and charging a fortune for stuff that is readily available. Only Trump was charged by the state AG however. Curious. The main claim by the AG was that he called it a "University". Did any student actually think they were going to be attending a traditional university? Clearly it was just a marketing term. Whatever, I don't like these over-priced training courses but it seems pretty small potatoes compared to Hillary routinely receiving Top Secret emails on her personal server stored in some guy's spare bedroom.
I have a hard time taking people seriously who protest that Trump is a fraud when they support Hillary Clinton. Even democrats give her abysmal poll numbers on honesty and trustworthiness. And those are voters who actually respect Al Sharpton, so we know they have no standards at all.
