Oh come on, do you still need to pretend to be a victim? Aren't those days over now?
I'm not even pro trump, it's just an observation of overt bias.

Bingo. Promises, for Trump, are fulfilled upon announcement, and then forgotten. The examples are legion.
So, he is already a real politician. Any different to Obama promising to close Guantanamo bay? And I say this as an Obama supporter.

>> And of course no mention of Bush/Cheney and the private email server saga. This actually gave me a good laugh thank you. Invoking Bush close to a decade after he left office while simultaneously giving his own candidate a pass for using an unsecured email server. The funny thing is all you see and hear on hacker news is stories about companies getting hacked all the SV techies calling them stupid and morons. Then…
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe you misunderstood the parent post. They were pointing out the hypocrisy of caring about unprotected email servers now while not caring when it was done by a member of the same party. I don't believe the parent comment was saying that unprotected email servers are a-okay, just voicing frustration at the hypocrisy of the Republican party on that particular issue. It's possible tha…

I think, despite political affiliation, it's our obligation to hold him to the promises we believe in and galvanize his fired-up base to do so as well. I voted for Clinton and volunteered for the campaign, but I'll gladly push him to keep his word on this promise and the others that I believe will benefit our country.
Concur wholeheartedly. Just not very optimistic. But who knows?

Either that, or he'll just break his promise and let it go through.

If anything the people who invest in index funds are freeloaders No. How much wealth could those individuals create if they couldn't sell the companies on the market and invest that money, and had instead to accumulate dividends? The relationship is symbiotic. Yes, Trump created wealth, but the point is that his peers would have created even more if he hadn't used that money himself. To make an analogy, I can swim a…
I may have been a bit hyperbolic about freeloaders. The bigger point I want to make is that the standard deviation on returns of a single venture like Trump's is so large that you cannot meaningfully compare it to a highly-diversified basket of stocks. To use your analogy, it'd be like evaluating the effectiveness of a coach in a swimming event by picking a single one of their swimmers and comparing them to the avera…

Great respect to all who went out and built something great. Trump is not one of them; he would be penniless if his dad hadn't rushed in and saved him on at least two separate occasions.
