I don't find that true. At least he stood up, took the hits and came out stronger. He did what MANY US citizens have done, got lost in the greed and almost free credit.

You need to remember that Trump inherited most of his money, he isn't a self made millionaire.

Really???? What exactly did he inherit? Is he narcissitic and and egomaniac? YES, but then again so is Obama.
Let's delve into Obama promises.....
Ending of the war, and closing of Gitmo, repeal the Bush tax cuts?.... nope, none of the above.
An economic policy that has failed miserably.
Bailouts of banks that now charge fees for everything and are STILL foreclosing and tightening credit.
And they still blame Bush, 2 years into the term. He worries more about Isreal giving up land than he does trying to bring home OUR OWN in a freaking war, that he promised he'd end, but he has built it up, sent more troops over and cut VA benefits.
He spends more and more and more and where is the money going? Where are these shovel ready jobs? In 10 years his own administration predicts with the spending we face a deficit of 80% GDP.... in other words 80 cents of every dollar will be forced to pay the debt. His solution so far seems to be have the gov't print more money..... which in turn will lead to extreme hyperinflation.
I'll take The Donald over Obama anyday, warts and all. Have a feeling Trump would have made good on his promises. Donald was the only one close to getting my vote. Now, I'll just be voting against Obama, unless in the next year and a half things change drastically.... like troops are brought home instead of sent, government consolidates and shrinks starts living in a true budget. Personally, I believe Trump was/is the only one who could have done it. Now we will never know.

Never been a Forbes man but I'd be open minded to hear him, if he proves he could back up his promises and shows that he could and will work, even COMPROMISE with BOTH parties. We shall see.

They both need to work on a good foreign policy, energy policy, and private healthcare plans (I recommend something like an IRA but just for medical expenses), But somehow get the GOP off the extreme social issues used to rile up their base.

Trump had some good ideas on those subjects, unfortunately the news (even Faux) concentrated more on the "birther" issue. To bad, he had some truly good and feasible ideas.
