Which American president said, "The beauty of me is that I am very rich"?

Donald J. Trump has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on American politics. The 45th President of the United States perfectly encapsulated his larger-than-life persona when he famously declared, "The beauty of me is that I am very rich."

Born into a wealthy family, Trump inherited a solid foundation. However, Trump's business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit allowed him to amass a fortune that far surpassed his initial inheritance. Through his real estate ventures, branding deals, and television appearances, Trump built an empire that made him a billionaire.

Trump's wealth played a pivotal role in his political rise. In a society where money often equates to power and influence, his financial success lent him credibility and a unique appeal to voters. Trump's supporters saw his wealth as a testament to his business acumen and ability to navigate complex economic issues. They believed that his financial prowess would translate into effective governance and economic growth for the nation.

While Trump's wealth may have endeared him to some, it also drew criticism and controversy. Critics argued that his immense fortune made him out of touch with the struggles of everyday Americans. They claimed that his policies favoured the wealthy elite, exacerbating income inequality. Additionally, his refusal to release his tax returns fueled speculation about potential conflicts of interest and financial improprieties.

Now he's hawking t-shirts with his mug shot. Next up silk pillow cases so you can have sweet dreams about the Devil that went down to Georgia.....

Yes, he's very rich. However, so far, his companies have filed for bankruptcy six times so far. Of course how many businesses and investors have also gone bankrupt or struggled because of him, nobody will ever know. He brags that these moves have been financially sound each time. Financially sound for him. Is that truly "business acumen", or something else? The beauty of him is that he's very rich? It's bizarre that so many fawn over him and his fortune while other billionaires who haven't gone through bankruptcies are ridiculed and distrusted for no other reason than their money.

Could this quote be just another lie?

Who else would say disgusting thing like this?

He also treated people horribly too.

Gary Ellis

It's always all about him. He has finally found a way to make money.

earlepg, 💯% (excuse the pun) on the money! What kind of business acumen does it take to bankrupt THREE casinos. Casinos are as good as printing your own money. ALL the odds are in favor of the house, and he couldn't make a go of it THREE TIMES!

Elsy O. Stromberg

The most corrupt and criminal president ever. Currently under multiple indictments for crimes against the U.S. and will likely be the first ex-president sentenced to prison.

The worst president we ever had. God willing, he will be in prison before the next president is elected.

William Laughlin

Princess , Believe it or not, he's actually hawking MUGS with that photo, giving new meaning to the term "mug shot"! SMH He takes nothing seriously. I'm hoping that will change when he's behind bars.

cgrhm

even his son and son in-law say he's asset rich, but very cash poor.

He has no business acumen. He cheats and lies. He lost every business he started.

Corey Taylor

acks, He was saying that he can't be bought.

As opposed to the corpse-in-chief we have now!?

Too young to remember Nixon and Johnson, huh? And yet you lived through the aloof reign of Barack Obama, who let our ambassador and his guards be tortured by terrorists in Libya while waging his personal war on our Healthcare system!
