Eh, that's a terrible comparison IMO. Sure he got help from his dad, but he built his own empire. Paris Hilton is basically a trust fund baby. Big difference.
In 1971, he was 25 years old and fresh out of Wharton business school. He become company president and was given $1 million (over $6 million in today's dollars) to expand the empire into Manhattan. If that doesn't qualify as a trust fund, I don't know what does.

Anyone who says 'I am not a witch' is telling the absolute truth. Why do you hate truth, Otto?

Most people are smarter than otto given his 88 IQ is at the 21st percentile. That’s in the below average range.

Just to be clear, your position is that President Trump is a witch?

Perhaps he’s just in cahoots with witches.

Collusion?

So you don't think there's a difference between:
A.
-graduating from a high profile college,
-being named President of a company
-subsequently building that company into a billion dollar empire
And
B.
-Dropping out of high school
-becoming famous for basically being a high profile partyer and socialite
(Interesting FYI, her first job was modeling for Trump's modeling agency)

Yes, if witch is slang for Ivy League trust fund baby

They’re American witches descended directly from the Salem line, not traitorous Russian witches.

Paris Hilton's fragrance and handbag business pulls in billion dollar revenues. Look it up. She is also building hotels in NYC and Dubai. Her sister already has her "own" hotels.
She's really not that different from Trump on paper.

I asked another member of the #resistance and didn't get an answer. Perhaps you'll respond.
Can you name one thing, tweet, policy, phrase, anything at all that Trump has done that has had a negative impact on your life personally?

I'm very aware of that, and yes she's piggybacked off her fame well for her business exploits.
But again, their paths are much different. It's like saying Kim Kardashian and Trump took a similar path to success.
Yes they have the similarity of starting in a wealthy family, but it pretty much ends there.
I would think you can see the difference between running a real estate company and being paid for being famous.

It's hard to answer this because most things happening at the federal level are more long-term in nature. We can make predictions but no one really knows how things will shake out until years from now. I think the tax bill is risky and has some concerning components. Same goes for net neutrality, drilling, and several other issues. It's just hard to know how the world will respond to these issues, but I am concerned.

Paris Hilton is 35 years old. She could easily be worth much more than Trump by the time she reaches his age. I know that sounds crazy, but what's stopping her? Like I said, she's building billion dollar hotels and running a multi-billion dollar company already.

Trump builds hotels/resorts and sells suits.
Paris sells perfumes/handbags and is getting into the hotel game and she has decades to catch up.
What's the difference?
Posted on 1/6/18 at 5:04 pm to Zach
Zach pretends to have missed it.
Feeling the need to claim not to be mentally unstable is a very weak position. Having to defend whether she was a witch instead of talking issues was a weak position for the gop senate nominee for Delaware.
Presume unity.
There's only the One.

If looking at their end result you're right, there's very little difference. They both built billion dollar empires.
It's the initial path that's different.
I mean call me crazy but IMO running a million dollar real estate company straight out of college and building it to a billion dollar company is much different than being famous for being famous, and subsequently using that fame to sell products.
Now with that being said, I wouldn't find it outlandish to think Paris Hilton at this point in her life probably has a high level of business acumen due to her exploits. And maybe it's not outlandish to say in 30-40 years she'll have a tremendous amount of business acumen due to her life experiences. Would she, at that point in her life, not be a good person to seek guidance from possibly??
So maybe the comparison isn't so bad on it's face.

Trump made his fortune betting on gold
he had dad's 10 million stake when Nixon set gold free.
ted turner made his the same way.
