Google usually works fairly well ...just sayin'.

There is no link because that was not a quote, but a fantasy. Thanks for giving me the chance to clarify that.

You clarified nothing. Some are in denial and don't want to see the truth.

You have. You have helped me to confirm my skepticism about Trump. Now I have absolutely no doubt that he is a liberal and merely a siphon for the DEMS. Thank you.

Donald Trump increased his inheritance rather substantially in his 50-year career.

I'm not sure I understand your claim. Are you saying Donald Trump inappropriately bragged about some aspect of his current wealth. Are you referring to a specific quote he made? Or, are you just expelling carbon dioxide.

The purchasing power of the money he has today is probably less than the purchasing power of the money and other assets he inheriited 40 or s so years ago.

And he is constantly claiming he is the smartest man in the world,and the most accomplished.

Okay. But can America count on your vote should Donald J. Trump be the Republican nominee for President?

You have been warned about using these terms to describe Trump's supporters - don't do it again!

Little sensitive about that,ain't ya,bubba?

I think that if *I* were embarrassed to be identified as a strong supporter of a political candidate that I would have to look for another candidate to support.

BTW,*I* am NOT responsible for your heightened sensibilities. YOU are.

He bought DOS for $50,000 and tried to sell it to IBM for a huge profit but they weren't interested because they already ( OS-1) so he packaged it as MICROSOFT DOS and gave it away with new PCs. Made him billions in the long run!

Seriously? That PBS show clearly stated his selling DOS to IBM was the cornerstone of his wealth.

Maybe I remembered it wrong,and what he did was use his family connections to get IBM to adopt DOS as their operating system,and that gave him the jump start he needed to sell it to other manufacturers and to consumers?

After all,it's been a long time since I saw that show.

Someone that idolizes Trump accusing someone else of hyperbole is both hilarious and hypocritical at the same time.

P.T Barnum was modest compared to Trump.

Quote

DOS (Disk Operating System) was the operating system that brought the company its real success. International Business Machines (IBM) first approached Microsoft about its upcoming IBM Personal Computer (IBM PC) in July 1980.[24] On August 12, 1981, after negotiations with Digital Research failed, IBM awarded a contract to Microsoft to provide a version of the CP/M operating system, which was set to be used in the IBM PC. For this deal, Microsoft purchased a CP/M clone called 86-DOS from Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products for less than US$100,000, which IBM renamed to IBM PC DOS. Microsoft did not have an operating system when they closed the deal with IBM and IBM had not done their homework. Due to potential copyright infringement problems with CP/M, IBM marketed both CP/M and PC DOS for US$240 and US$40, respectively, with PC DOS eventually becoming the standard because of its lower price.[25][26] 35 of the company's 100 employees worked on the IBM project for more than a year. When the IBM PC debuted, Microsoft was the only company that offered operating system, programming language, and application software for the new computer.[24]

Looks like I had it a little twisted as well! Age will do that to you! But DOS was what really put them on the map!

Of course you don't work for me, I would not hire you. But that's beside the point.

Declarative statements that are suspect--such as wishful thinking and fantastic rhetoric, always require a link for me. Just trying to keep it all honest.

In the end it really doesn't matter because DOS is what started him and MS down the road to riches,regardless of how it happened.

The PBS show clearly implied family influence was the key,though. Guy must have been a Apple/MAC guy.

Someone that idolizes Trump

I'm going to ask you once--and as respectfully as I can: Do not presume to know or understand my feelings about anything. And do not use your distorted view to personally insult me again.

"I personally don't think a financial career based on bankruptcy makes someone a genius when it comes to restoring our economy."

The Trump Organization – that's the name of Donald Trump's corporation – Consists of over 700 companies and has hired tens of thousands of employees.

Seven out of 700+ companies declared bankruptcy some 25 years ago when the bottom fell out of the casino gambling sector in a dying Atlantic City. Property values are still plummeting to this day in and around Atlantic City.

Donald Trump has never himself declared personal bankruptcy.

Now, what was that you were saying about bankruptcy?

Cry me a river. Google is full of references to Trumps grandoise statements. You can look them up as easily as I can,and I don't need to look them up because *I* am not in denial.

That he has filed for bankruptcy 4 times. He has,and you should be embarrassed to hide behind the weasel "not personal" modifier.

Desperation is never pretty.
