      Ignoring the fact that it’s not even true… My favorite part of the fallout from that quote were all the Trump supporters, most of whom will never see $1mil in total earnings across their lives, scrambling to defend it as if it were a perfectly reasonable thing to say.

      Like, “It’s just because he’s so rich that a million dollars really does seem like a small loan!

      Sure, okay Jim-Bob, and you’re dumb enough to believe a guy whose concept of money is that warped gives a damn about you? lol

        I don’t disagree but 1m is 25k a year for 40 years. So yes, most of his supporters WILL earn 1m in their lives.
