re: Did your new worth go up $3B in the last 2 yrs? If not, you're an idiot apparently

I get that but $3B gain in $10B is one thing but on say $30B initially it is different. People use nominal value for a wow factor but I am curious if her outperformed the market.

Obviously, projection is a thing Spidy.
But out of curiosity, detail your concept of the "pump and dump," sans simple brand acquisition, and with no documented dump.

A good chunk was in a straight pump and dump crypto scam, that required virtually 0 upfront investment on his behalf. Had we "invested" in that move, those folks lost their asses.

This is a straight up lie. You people fricking suck.

President's come into office with zero net worth, Obama to name one, and leave absurdly rich. Trump comes into office a Billionaire and leaves a Billionaire and that is somehow surprising.

Jealous people are so stupid.

I mean that’s probably like 15% increase. Whose net worth hasn’t gone up by that much over the same time ???

The sons, son-in-law, and friends are making out like bandits with corruption.

Perception is one's "own truth."

Joe Q Public could make his mortgage payment at a given income, under different circumstances. The fact is though, Joe Q Public expects his median US dwelling to basically provide the highest amount of personal living space of any country on Earth. For example, he expects his home to be nearly 3 times the size of what his British contemporaries expect, and he expects it to be far better appointed. Those expectations are fine. They are a component of American exceptionalism. However, when the hopes and expectations are translated to "need," the shark has been jumped.

Further, as has been discussed many times on this board, home prices were far more affordable in the decade from 2010 to 2020. Story after story emerged regarding younger generations opting not to buy homes, and to instead buy "experiences," and to opt for renting in urban environments which were more social. That was their choice.

It was a well-described phenomenon. It was highly noticeable because it came at a point where home loan rates were at record lows, and pricing was reasonable. Builders took note, and quit building starter homes in suburbia.

Covid and its immediate aftermath negated the social advantage of urban environments, and suddenly the same groups fled to the suburbs. Demand for homes outstripped supply, and property prices soared. At the same time, Bidenomics sent interest rates skyrocketing.

Unfortunately, the combination of previous buyer disinterest, builder pullbacks, diminished inventory, and high interest rates created a perfect storm. Now, no doubt, the stereotypical decisions to avoid home purchase add a more affordable point renderers life difficult for the people who made them. But they were personal decisions, deliberately made by individuals, often against the better advice provided them. Blaming politicians for that is not surprising, but it ignores the crux of the issue.
