When will the media let the public know that the Trump

[gabeana]

fortune was made off the backs of the Federal Gov't

"Trump was born in New York City in 1946, the son of real estate tycoon Fred Trump. Fred Trump’s business success not only provided Donald Trump with a posh youth of private schools and economic security but eventually blessed him with an inheritance worth an estimated $40 million to $200 million. It is critical to note, however, that his father’s success, which granted Donald Trump such a great advantage, was enabled and buffered by governmental financing programs. In 1934, while struggling during the Great Depression, financing from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) allowed Fred Trump to revive his business and begin building a multitude of homes in Brooklyn, selling at $6,000 apiece. Furthermore, throughout World War II, Fred Trump constructed FHA-backed housing for US naval personnel near major shipyards along the East Coast."

So basically the government issued loans so people could buy Fred Trumps houses, the media and the public's love with celebrity knows no bounds

1. Self made man!

Just like the rest of the 1%. They couldn't do it without all the things that Gov't provides, yet they try to contribute as little as possible it, and stick the rest of us with the bill.

3. The problem with Repugs is they can't tell the difference between self-made and self-arrived. nt

5. Reminds me of the Barry Switzer quote

Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.

In case of trump hitting a grand slam with out even having to play the game

6. It's a feel good story for people who really wish they could fire someone.

And the media is cashing in, it's good business.

7. I want them to question his position on alternative energy

Three years ago in an interview with Greta van Sustern on Fox he was very opposed to wind power and solar power, saying they were not viable technologies. I'd like to know if his position has changed. Whoever is the next President has got to look at emerging alternative technologies.

8. I wonder if it would make any difference.

His supporters are responding to his anger, which mirrors their own anger. Many of them think there is a possibility, however slight, that they might join him as a member of the 1%.

9. From the looks of the cnn poll

Republicans still don't know trump is a government funded baby
