That is quite a simple analysis. Trump is essentially a property mogul (although he made a fair amount from the apprentice). So how did a property index fund compare with the S&P 500? He does not have the help of amazon, microsoft, alphabet etc which have propelled the S&P500. Also the analysis assumes he could have invested the inheritance into the S&P 500 and lived a frugal life. But he has his own helicopter and 2 divorces behind him so he probably spent a large amount over the years. How rich did his siblings become, assuming they inherited an equal amount to Donald?

Micheal Bloomberg & Shultz (republican businessmen) both called out Trump's business skills.

Donald has rolled his dice and come up with JD Vance.
He's diverse!?
39 years old.
I bet he plays a mean game of poker.
No token choices for Don eh?
USA USA USA USA.

JD Vance comes armed with an Indian wife.
Between Trumps Russian wife and her, we now have America, Europe and Asia united.
No more wars!

How do authoritarians remain in power?
Launch a war once they predictably fail on the domestic front.

I think Melania would object to be called Russian. She was born in what was then Communist Yugoslavia (now Slovenia). People fight wars over such things Getty!

Oops, thanks for the correction.
That's the end of my job prospects at the UN.

Nah it's appropriate for the Trump-Vance ticket.
Look forward to hearing more of these things from Vance in particular.

Would probably get you a job in Hillary Clinton's office though. She of the Russian asset lie. The last 2 Democrat presidents have been Putin's biggest assets towards his consolidation of power and probable aims to return Russia's borders to that of the old Soviet Union.
Putin lays siege to Georgia, invades Crimea and shoots down a civilian airliner under Obama (at least his forces did). Invades Ukraine and squeezes Euro gas supply under Biden. Then Biden helps him further by blowing up the undersea gas pipeline! (Biden even said he would do that 12 months earlier). The losers in the gas fiasco? The European public. The big gainers? US gas interests.
