[Demovictory9]

what billionaire attempts to make money by sticking their name of bottles of water? a real billionaire, makes more money from the interest.

tax experts on KPCC this morning said the real bombshell from the NY tax article is that Trump has a liquidity problem.

1. Or set up a fake university to scam poor people, and fake charities to pay his legal bills

[Demovictory9]

2. or sells ties. remember when he was selling those Easter colored ties... pink, yellow, baby blue

[Botany]

4. Or steals money from a children's cancer fund?

or has his "foundation for charities" be a slush fund
Or takes a salary for a TV show?

[Demovictory9]

12. or pushes his way onto the stage at charity events where he wasnt a big donor

a charity lead told the story about his behavior. It was a ribbon cutting or opening announcement to honor the big donors. Trump showed up and walked on the stage and sat in a chair. THey had to scramble for another chair for the REAL donors.

[Kid Berwyn]

3. Or ignores the Emoluments Clause?

Guy’s so hard up he has the Air Force land and overnight at his golf course.

5. And grabs tight to every penny that crosses his path. And is one serious tightwad unless it's OPM.

The he makes a big show.

7. They don't. You won't see Gates Steaks or Buffett Water or

Bezos Wine. Those guys don't have to hawk branded products to the unwashed masses because they're not in debt up to their eyeballs, but instead have valuable investments that produce interest income by the barrel. Trump has never been anything but a cheap-ass carnival barker.

10. I Once Read That Buffet...

...makes $400,000 per hour in dividends. Not counting capital gains, realized or otherwise.
400 grand an hour.
That's what real billionaires do, not hawk every day household goods with their name plastered on them.

[Demovictory9]

14. or have a reality show

[Demovictory9]

13. or Gates University unless it was a REAL university

[Yavin4]

8. Or lead a Learning Annex Seminar

[Demovictory9]

11. omg. I remember the Learning ANnex.

[lame54]

9. Always goes back to the pee tape

15. Well, Richard Branson has tried using his brand 'Virgin' on almost everything

https://www.forbes.com/profile/richard-branson/#7343c4ae6ff5

Still reckoned to have over $4 billion. But he has left behind substantial businesses in his wake, that don't just depend on finding people with as tacky taste as the founder has, or who are impressed by the name alone.
