Surely if he is worth all the billions it is claimed despite the company losses along the way and bankruptcies ( I think this means something different in the USA) then this is proof that he is a successful business man I'm also guessing that his various wives and women has cost him a fortune I hold no brief for the guy but try to be fair
He's not worth billions. He owes a lot, probably to dodgy Russians.
He's a successful businessman but only in the way that he is personally successful; his businesses tend not to be. But he just declares them bankrupt and lets investors, creditors, employees, etc, pick up the bill.

"Wealth of Donald Trump. The net worth of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, is approximately $3.1 billion according to Forbes as of 5 March 2019, whereas Bloomberg estimated his wealth at $2.8 billion."
All businesses make profits and losses, that's the way capitalism works. In the UK losses become tax deductible so they can't lose

Estimated: - he refuses to let anyone see his tax returns so no one really knows, and that includes the worth of the various businesses and properties he owns.

How many business people in the UK work the same system? More than enough, the workers are simply collateral to accountants, remember asset stripping I am quite happy to accept Forbes and Bloomberg's opinion on his wealth

Trump's racism is disgusting just like the racists who spread lies about Sadiq Khan , Diane Abbott et al.

I totally agree, his rhetoric is disgraceful. I listened to Malcolm Rifkind discussing this yesterday and for once I had to agree with him. He believes this gives permission for anyone to attack people for the colour of their skin - he is right! Trump has to be challenged by every country on this. Theresa May has criticised him for this but didn't she, as Home Secretary, have something similar on a bus? I believe she did! Brexit has certainly not helped in the UK, many Eastern Europeans have been treated very badly and have certainly been told to go home. Perhaps Melania will be buying a one way ticket home - of course she won't, she's white and loves her lifestyle.

How is it? The point is she's white so Trump would not criticise her, even if he wasn't married to her.
He's not interested in stopping immigration, just immigration by people who are not white. Three of the four people he told to "Go home" were born in the US, and the fourth has been a US citizen for four years longer than Melania.
Once, on Brick Lane market, I heard a white bloke tell a black bloke to go back to where he came from. The black bloke said, I come from Hoxton, and the white bloke said, Go on - that's nearer than me! And they laughed (I think they were mates who were messing about).
But if Trump thinks those four women ought to "go home," then he should think - and say - that Melania should go home as well. But she's white; she's ok.

IMO no, the poster alluded to the fact that Mrs Trump is white, and raised suggestions about her returning to her homeland In the same way that Trump suggested that these women should "go back home£, and they are all non white If it is racism to refer to someone because their skin is black, then the same applies if their skin is white. Not forgetting the reference to their ethnicity The frightening thing is that for Trump think Johnson/Farage, their views are very similar. Be afraid, very afraid

You don't do irony do you Jimmy?
Most people recognise what Trump is and the same for Farage and Johnson. Everyone should be criticising him but it would seem they are not!
