Trump is a given phoney. I don't care if he is rich or not, he has no business giving any regular person financial advise.
I didn't pay much attention to Kiyosaki until recently, he didn't appeal to me much since his primary focus was rental real estate which has waaaay to high of a PITA factor for me.
He must be long on silver. I heard him interviewed on the largest radio station in Minnesota a couple days ago and he said how he loathed the stock market, especially mutual funds. He was a bit cool on real estate, he was telling the audience the only way to beat inflation was to buy precious metals, especially silver. He actually recommended that people go to stores and pay retail for silver coins, bring them home and put them in a safe. "This will guarantee you'll keep your buying power".
I remember when I was in High School in 1980 our principal was giving out free financial advice. He told everyone to buy silver and gold. Gold was around $500 per oz. and silver darn near $50. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones was under 1000. 25 years later he's about even on the gold, and has a ways to go on the silver. I can't think how well he'd been set today if he'd invested 10% of his earnings in an S&P index fund from that day forward inside his IRA. He also built a bomb shelter because he was sure the Russians were coming to Minnesota any day.
