I don't think Trump has even had to deal with that in his life, he has lived in his own little bubble as the king of his own Empire. I'm pretty certain he will just trying to make the debates a popularity contest by saying funny stuff or harsh stuff while not sticking to the issues.

This might work on people whom want to be entertained, but not on people whom care about the job he would do as president.

Then again who knows, maybe he will be great.. I'm just not counting on it, given his current antics.

i compare trump to dan bilzerian. bilzerian inherited the same amount of dough from his old man and he spends it on hookers and paying to get bit parts in movies. trump's a billionaire and he's had to navigate huge bankruptcies to get there. i understand people will point to those as failures and i get that but in between getting $50 million from his old man and navigating bankruptices, he's worth $10 billion, that's more than the king of instagram has done.

maybe it's a silly comparison between the 2, but my point is Trump parlayed that $50 million into $10 billion, not squandering it being a playboy, which is what i would have done. i read way back when that Trump's had to restructure deals with 100s of banks to resolve things, that's experience in debating the issues. again, from $50 million to $10 billion.
