Trump: Daddy Only Gave Me A Million Dollars At First

In The Young Turks on YouTube by Hlarson0 Comments

 

Donald Trump was recently asked if anyone had ever told him no. Trump responded that his whole life had been a no… with a few million notable exceptions. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“But Donald Trump would like voters to know something else about Donald Trump: Things have not always been easy for him. At a town hall in New Hampshire Monday, he told audience members:

“My whole life, really, has been a no, and I fought through it. And, you know, I talk about it. It’s not been easy for me, it has not been easy for me. You know, I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars. I came into Manhattan, and I had to pay him back, and I had to pay him back with interest. But I came into Manhattan and I started buying properties, and I did great.”

Of course, for most of us, $1 million could never be considered a “small” amount of money.

But even for Trump, that “small loan” was the least of the help he received from his father; it represents only about 2.5 percent of the estimated $40 million Trump inherited.”*
