The reason I pinned it down to billionaires is for simplicity...
Billionaires do a lot of things the average person doesn't do. For instance donate millions to charity or donate time and resources to vaccine distribution, it's almost a given right of a billionaire to join the list of philanthropists. Point being comparing a billionaire to anyone but a billionaire is flawed in terms of greatness.
It's not such a strange question really is it?
All I asked for is a reason why you think he is great, in terms of business he has been unsuccessful a few times. He's persistent though I'll admit that.
Go on give me a good example of him going out of his way to help somebody... It's not like it wouldn't be reported, he does use all opportunities to be relevant after all. Just one, any you like just show me one case and I might change my mind.

Yes, I do and that's why I say he's more liberal. Hillary is pretty much center right while Trump has always been rather far left. He likes putting society first, he favors progressive tax plans, he likes social programs, he's a fan of big government. He's a tax and spend kind of guy, and he gets off on the idea that he's the ultimate provider to others.

I don't understand your logic. You are saying if you achieve something great in life, it's not great unless you compare it to others who have also achieved greatness? That is strange logic that ultimately means no one has achieved greatness or done anything great with their lives = after all who is really unique in their achievements.
You should not be swayed by an example of him going out of his way to help someone, but there are many stories of him doing exactly that.

I don't know man...
Please show me some of these great things he has done that no other billionaire has done. I'll concead that the comment about Arab-Americans were chanting death to america quote and the survailence on Muslims qoute as slip of the tongue and down to Mr Trump being a tad ignorant and at worst prejudiced.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Paris attacks terrorist suspect Ahmed Almuhamed 'was rescued near Greece after his refugee boat sunk'

By Ruth Halkon
The 25-year-old is said to have been rescued by Greek authorities from a wrecked migrant boat while posing as a refugee to smuggle himself to Paris.
A terrorist behind the Paris attacks who allegedly posed as a Syrian refugee was rescued by Greek authorities after the migrant boat he had smuggled himself on sunk, it has been claimed.
According to Serbian media, a Syrian passport belonging to Ahmed Almuhamed was found at the scene of the attack at the Stade de France.
Now a Greek newspaper claims to have discovered the 25-year-old and a family member, called Mohammed Almuhmed, were rescued from a wrecked migrant boat that had sunk on the journey from Syria.

What he is accused of is totally put to rest by Lynne as a Black Female executive. If he was misogynistic or racist there is no way she would be employed, right?

Nothing flawed in my logic, it's a bit similar to the " to be judged by ones peers" quote if which the original meaning was to be judged by someone similar and not the king, for example. A noble man being judged by jury of noble men. In this case you replace "judged" with "comparison" so we have a bit of framework set up in terms of what we even mean by greatness.
I'll give an example of why I made that distinction.
A common man might decide one day to auction off all of the model trains he has meticulously collected over his lifetime, to him a lifetime of work and honour to the hobby he chose and loyally stuck to from his youth. The few grand raised and given to charity was not much but to him it was a huge dedication and decision to auction for multiple reasons, making it possibly one of the greatest things he has ever done.
How can you compare that man and his train models to the greatness achievable by a billionaire. For instance Bill Gates has pledged to give 99% of his wealth to charity when he dies, that is a great gesture. But the impact of great deeds done by a commoner compared to that of a Billionaire is... Incomparable, to be frank.
Do you see the logic of my question now?
I'm not accepting that as a good example either, no not at all.

Really, then, it's behind or above him you should be looking.
For he has already been a puppet for some time.
A vote for Trump is a vote for people you don't even know, and probably will never know to be US President.
But you would certainly find out a good deal of what they think in what Trump says and, particularly, how he acts.
Trump is a pre-planned cartoon. Hs has no executive function of his own. Only executive positions (so far) where he carries out the wishes of unseen beings.

Who do you think these unseen beings you speak of are? Are they different beings to the ones behind Clinton or the same ones?
