Trump dismisses Buffett's rebuke over his business judgment

By Susan Heavey

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday brushed off billionaire investor Warren Buffett's blistering critique of his business acumen.

"I don't care much about Warren Buffett," Trump said on the FOX Business television network Tuesday morning, a day after Buffett lashed out at Trump in a speech at a campaign rally for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Buffett, a widely followed investor who is chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, scorned Trump's 1995 move to list Trump hotels and casino resorts on the New York Stock Exchange, saying it lost money for the next decade and that "a monkey" would have outperformed Trump's company.

He also challenged Trump to release his tax returns, something the real estate mogul and television star has declined to do so far citing an Internal Revenue Service audit.

Trump, who has held up his career in business as a qualification to lead the country, defended his record running his hotel and casino business in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

"I had great timing. I got out," after seven years, he told FOX Business on Tuesday. "I took a lot of money out of Atlantic City, which is what I'm supposed to do. I'm a businessperson."

Trump said he "did well in the good times in Atlantic City, but then times started going very bad."

Trump said he used to invest in U.S. stocks but got out because "I don't like what I'm seeing at all," pointing to U.S. immigration policies, Syrian refugees and what he said were "artificially low" interest rates.

He also vowed to spend twice as much on U.S. infrastructure as Clinton, who has pledged $275 billion on rebuilding the nation's crumbling roads and bridges, among other structures.

Trump, who has been criticized by fellow Republicans and others for responding too readily to opponents, declined to target Buffett personally for his comments: "There's no counter-punch."

Buffett on Monday vowed to do "whatever it takes" to get out the vote in his congressional district in Nebraska, including driving voters himself to the polls to cast ballots.

With Clinton by his side, Buffett told the crowd that his "final straw" was Trump's critical response to the Muslim parents of a decorated U.S. soldier killed by a bomb in Iraq 12 years ago.

Buffett is No. 3 on Forbes magazine's list of the richest billionaires, with a net worth calculated at $60.8 billion.

Buffett is a liar and an ass.
That false image the media glorifies him with is easy to see.
If the mainstream media fawns over any guy, you know that bastard is no good.. The media basically kisses his ass and calls him a god...
I'd slap his ass down if he ever stepped foot on my property .
I have no patience for such devious lying bastards as he.....
His criticisms of Trump is just more of his buying protection from the media and dem party controlled government.
He is nothing more than a lying self-serving maggot IMHO..
EVER NOTICE HOW THIS BILLIONAIRE AND HIS BILL GATES BUDDY ARE PROTECTED BY BOTH MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND GOVERNMENT???
I'd spit on both of them...--Tyr

Fightin' words bubba. I got on shorts flip flops and a Lynyrd Skynyrd rebel flag T right now, I ain't blew out the flip flop yet, but it's looking to go. Means I'm going to have to break down for a new pair. :laugh:

And don't get me wrong. I got my starched Wranglers right over there and the boots that go with them. And I got buckles big as your license plates. But I love Jimmy Buffet. He was just so cool when I was a teen living in Miami.

You got your hush puppies on. I guess you were never meant for glitter rock n roll. :laugh:

Depends on where you live. When I went back to San Antonio after living in Miami, my uncle said I dressed like a fag. Went out and bought me Wranglers. I was like I ain't wearing this redneck shit.

As I try to point out, there's a total disconnect between people they refuse to acknowledge between regions. I always felt like I was in the Twilight Zone going back in the past going back to San Antonio.

And I wore Hush Puppies as a kid. :)

If you like five, go to a show. You won't regret it.

The songs that made him famous aren't his best.

If I could afford it, it'd be boats bars n beaches for this old man. Kenny Chesney, Buffet, George ... chair with an umbrella .... Corona in hand ... grandbabies doing dumb sh*t ... I am THERE.

He went to Paris, defying gravity to name two.

Well, Buffet's Berkshire is up 25% the past year while Trump's business is down across the board. Warren knows business!;)
