So what? Trump was probably bored there. He probably was anxious to get working with his father at his father's business. His father said he was a genius at business, and a very quick learner.

I doubt that his father said that after bailing him out so many times. Even buying millions in poker chips that he never cashed to keep his casino solvent

From Investopedia: https://www.investopedia.com/updates/donald-trump-success-story/

"Donald Trump had been around his father Fred's real estate company, Elizabeth Trump & Son, for most of his life. But he began working for the company full-time when he graduated from college in 1968 at the age of 22. Donald took control of the company in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization.

His father’s business had focused on building and renting mid-market apartments in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Donald set his sights on Manhattan.

Donald immediately sought out large projects that carried high profiles. Fred was reluctant at first, but eventually backed Donald’s projects in the heart of the Big Apple..."

"...Here is a se******n of Trump's more noteworthy and thoughtful words on success in business:

- “The more predictable the business, the more valuable it is.” Trump on valuing known quantities more than speculative schemes.

- “Success comes from failure, not from memorizing the right answers.” Trump on the irreplaceable value of real-life experience, even negative ones, in an education.

- “Get going. Move forward. Aim High. Plan a takeoff. Don't just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won't happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you'll love it up here.” Trump on taking initiative and positive thinking.

- “What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.” Trump on the constant tests that life provides.

- “Remember there’s no such thing as an unrealistic goal, just unrealistic time frames.” Trump on how he views the collision of grand ambitions and real-life obstacles.

- “Watch, listen and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.” Trump on remaining open to new information."

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4-years-old and did not read until he was 7. His parents thought he was "sub-normal," and one of his teachers described him as "mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams." He was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. He did eventually learn to speak and read. Even to do a little math.

Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."

Winston Churchill repeated a grade during elementary school and, when he entered Harrow, was placed in the lowest division of the lowest class. Later, he twice failed the entrance exam to the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. He was defeated in his first effort to serve in Parliament. He became Prime Minister at the age of 62. He later wrote, "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never, Never, Never, Never give up."

"Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly."
~ Robert F. Kennedy

I don't know if you read the whole article, but if you haven't, it's pretty impressive how he has grown the business he inherited.

I did read it. It's quite refreshing to read something that is just factual, without all the innuendo, for a change

Most who’ve been to college know that grades don’t really measure intelligence. All one has to do is listen to her speak and read her green new deal. She’s a few cards shy of a full deck

I like the part of the green new deal where it says we should pay those who are unwilling to work. At least Obama was a little discreet about wanting Socialism by expanding Welfare, food stamps and Medicaid...this green new deal is an invitation for everyone and anyone to get on the dole from the government. Socialism 101 for Dummies: We don't need cars...the government will take care of it, will be the first step....

It's called capitalism...and it has worked for America since it's foundation. Socialism will never work for America - it never works for any country. We will NOT become another Venezuela, no matter how much you and yours want it to be so. "Spreading the wealth" will not work here.

Corporate welfare and tax cuts for the rich instead of health care for all citizens.
