Why Qatar Is So Excited to Dump That 747-8 Private Jet on Trump
That Boeing 747-8 BBJ isn’t nearly as great as Trump is making it out to be. The Qatari government used Trump to pawn off a hunking chunk of metal that it had been trying to get rid of for five years, according to reporting from Forbes. (airguide.info) More...

Regardless of how unwise an idea this is, it will take longer to retrofit and equip it for use at AF1, when they should focus on completing the two currently in Texas and avoid becoming distracted by further delays and cost overruns. The aircraft might be free, but it will still cost $100M+ to retrofit for this purpose.

At least it is a Boeing - thank goodness it wasn't an Airbus that Qatar needed to to dump.
Besides being utterly corrupt, Trump is an easily duped sucker.
Your opinion only. He didn't get rich being duped!
He didn't "get" rich. He inherited his money and has been "duped" out of most of it - excluding, of course, the many contractors on his projects he screwed by not paying.
Where are you getting your information from? CNN? MSNBC? Or are you just making it up?
He got a loan from his dad but successfully increased that by multiples.
He still runs over 400 successful businesses. You're on the wrong end of this argument against one of the world's most successful businessmen.

A loan from his Dad? 400 million. If he had invested that much in top 500 companies, he would have more than he has now. People forget that every time he declared bankruptcy, all his employees lost their jobs. But what does he care about his employees? He doesn't even like his own kids.
He's a billionaire worth $5.5 billion. He wouldn't have made much more than he has now had he invested the money.
He went bankrupt with one company because of the gambling environment in Atlantic City (other casinos went out of business too) and he also went bankrupt with another company because of a change in NY laws.
Six of his companies have filed for BK yet he has over 400 successful businesses. Those successful businesses employ a lot of people, way more than those who lost jobs due to bankruptcies that weren't necessarily his fault.

I would take away that I already explained that 2 were not his fault so only 4 went bankrupt out of over 400 which is an excellent record.
I would also take away the fact that you concentrate on less than 1% instead of the more than 99% and then promptly disregard anything you say after that.
