Great story from Robert Reich.
Reich says he asked a Trump supporter why he
was for the Donald. The guy said he was
for Trump because Trump was a highly successful businessman. Reich asked how the man knew Trump was a
success. The man said that Trump must be
a success because according to Forbes magazine, he is worth four and a half
billion dollars.
Reich asked the Trump
supporter if he knew that in 1976 Trump was worth about $200 million, most of
which he had inherited. Well, said the
Trump support, that just proved that Trump was a great businessman. He turned $200 million into $4.5 billion.
“But,” said Reich,”if he had just put that $200 million into
an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he’d be worth twelve billion today.”
So much for Trump’s business smarts.
And, a lot of Americans want to turn the American economy over
to this guy. We would be better off NOT
having a President rather than having Trump run things.
Manage the U.S. economy? Give me
a break. Trump couldn’t even manage his
own money.
