You're right. There are millions of Americans who support what the idiot in chief says. This makes them idiots themselves.

Trump inherited (i.e., not a loan) well over $400 million.
If he had simply invested it in an S&P 500 index fund he would have over $10 Billion today.
Unavoidable conclusion: He is a terrible businessman.
Now do try to keep up
Just to be clear ... he inherited $400 billion way back then or in today's dollars? Makes a huge difference.
Way back then (NOT today's dollars).

So you believe that the loans totaled $60 million? That means you admit Tiny was lying about only getting $1 million from his father.
If you looked at the NY Times article, you will notice that the loans were never repaid. When you don't have to pay it back, it's not really a loan.
It's not me who did the analysis of Tiny's return on investment. Several skilled financial gurus have looked at it and shown how he unperformed the market.
The conclusion is inescapable. Tiny is terrible at business.
You can give a $1 billion to everyone on LetsRun. 95% have no money left after 20 years. Trump is worth $3.5 billion. You have to admit he is one of the savviest businessman ever.
It's very hard to lose $1 billion. Most LetsRunners would still be rich after 20 years.
About 20 years after Tiny started in business, he was broke. That's when he had to massively cheat on his taxes and start to take dirty money from the Russians.
You have to admit that the numbers don't lie. He unperformed the market over his lifetime. He's terrible at business.

Millions of Americans DO NOT support that. The KKK doesn't have that many members.

You really think that all parties in a bet do not know the outcome? You can do better than that? And is a "future event?" Come on now.
You're in a real pickle now because your words are coming back to haunt you. You're using your own (ever-changing) definitions of "bet" against your own original argument.
Now you either have to 1) admit that the "pledge" is not a bet or 2) admit your "WEJO check my IP...." that you have used incessantly is a bet.
You claim that wejo checking your IP is not a bet with him. You are correct. However, the bet in this case would be between you and me. I said that those sock puppets were you (and they were). You said the posters were not you. And you said "WEJO, DO AN IP CHECK, AND IF I LIE, BAN ME FOR LIFE!" In your own definition of bet, checking with wejo is the "future event." Same as in the example WRONG! made that checking a reliable source (ex. encyclopedia) to verify the # of HRs. Why would his bet be with an encyclopedia? Also, the same as verifying that Trump won the election with a reliable source(s) in the "pledge/bet."
If you want to play it the other way then fine. Your "Wejo, do an IP check" is not a bet and the "pledge" is not a bet either since you are not "betting" anyone Trump will win.
1) You are just making a statement agreeing to stop posting if Trump wins - not betting with anyone.
2) You are just making a statement agreeing to a ban for life if wejo does an IP check and you lied - not betting with anyone..
Can't spin it both ways, brother.
I'll break it down in simple terms using YOUR definition of a bet.
Trump Pledge/Bet: "If Trump wins, I will stop posting."
Flagpole Tagline: "If I lie, ban me for life."
Unknown: Outcome of election
Unknown: Outcome of wejo's IP check
Future event: verification of election results with a reliable source.
Future event: verification of IP's by wejo
Either both a bet according to your own definition or neither are a bet according to your own definition.
The third choice you have is to continue being an idiot. I bet you go with choice #3.
I reject your comments.
Me telling someone that I will gladly accept a lifetime banning if it is proven that I posted as a specific someone else is NOT a bet. A BET has to incur risk, and there is no risk by me here, because I know that I did not post as said person. Also, there is nothing in it for anyone else (cue joke that if I don't post anymore it's a win for everyone), and certainly not for Wejo.
Now, if I said "If you EVER find that I post under another name, then you can ban me for life", THAT would be a bet.
I warned you guys several pages ago that even if Flagpole was wrong (and he is obviously wrong in this case) he would not admit it. Admitting when he is wrong is not in his wheelhouse.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48982172This 'go back where you came from' tweet is just the opening salvo of the 2020 campaign - trump is going to start a second civil war, pitting whites vs. people of color.

Simple as that. That's the R game plan.
F'in unamerican traitors.
This is going to get unimaginably horrible a year from now.
Trump is without question the worst president we've ever had.
hey sally, let's see you clutching your pearls and saying 'trump is a bad person oh my yes but he's better than Hillary Clinton.'
come on - let's hear it. let's see you go full racist. I want to see it now. Give it to us.

To burn through $1Billion in 20 years you would need to spend an average of $137K a day and that's assuming you earned no interest and didn't buy anything you could sell.
Sally, you should learn about this thing called Math.

trump is a great, great, great salesman.
trump is NOT a great businessman.
He's blown through several fortunes , bankrupted many organizations, acted dishonorably throughout, and cost his family a fortune in lost money.
He had some magic touch to keep talking banks into loaning him money as he lost it - awesome sales skills.

I agree.
And if he keeps torturing immigrants and kidnapping their children, those torture camps will be stormed and liberated.
Sadly, I believe there will be bloodshed. This is what our president wants.

I don't see the camps being stormed from the outside...but eventually the men inside will riot. People will die, both inmates and guards. Then will be a fork in the road - will the border patrol and ICE go all brownshirty and start disappearing people? Or will they stay civilized?
Trump has told them clearly that he'd be fine with a brownshirt paramilitary type organization. Will he get it and take one more step toward open fascism?
Probably.

Trump is a racist!!!” that’s so 2016 lame. The American people rolled their eyes and laughed and voted for him in droves. And we’ll do it again in 2020.
The libs are racist because they constantly beat that drum--they can't see the world in any other way except by race, and race does not matter here. Trump is pro LEGAL immigration and pro borders. Grow up.

Lunatic. This is the type of rhetoric used by people who want a civil war. Trump has delivered peace abroad and tremendous economic growth. Get over it.

They didn't vote for him in the majority, though. Not even in a plurality.

He won the Electoral College by a large margin. That is all that matters. It’s great for Trump that Democrats now unite around Ilhan Omar. She’s their new spokesperson. Omar asked for judges to be lenient on ISIS. Even far left Snopes had to concede this. Furthermore, it is likely that Omar married her brother to commit immigration fraud.
I mean, could it be more obvious we have a radical Islamic terrorism sympathizer in Congress? You libs don't have the balls to condemn her. That’s what she is. She wants to undermine the USA and Israel. She’s also, obviously, an accomplished liar and should be deported.
