Trump Tax Figures Show Over $1 Billion in Business Losses

[Lancedalot]

Bezos and Buffet did quite a bit of failing before they make it at their current gigs.

Most people do.

Zuckerberg is the exception.

Thank you CIA seed funding.

And tech support.

I gave him every opportunity to go back and reread the exchange.

He preferred to continue to engage in stupidity.

That seems to be the approach taken by more and more of the RWCJ here lately: "Winner" or "Victim". What's troubling, though, is the insistence by HisArpy and BotanyBoy that they're somehow "smarter" than everyone here. I mean, we all get a chuckle out of that when Que does that particular little song and dance, but those two should.....wait for it....know better.

Not everyone Rob....just you and a few other key folks who can never back up their hot air with anything but lies and name calling.

Vitriol and Excuses are all we get from the GB White Nationalists here (along with their Semi-White Nationalist auxiliary).

It's true.....you'd know that if you knew anything about business.

But you don't

Donald is a Big, Fat Fraud

So it turns out, Trump is nothing but a conman. Literally. His whole entire shtick of being a brilliant "businessman" is nothing but a lie. In fact, his only skill is marketing a fake image of himself. He convinced banks and investors to give him hundreds of millions in loans, which he promptly pissed down the drain in failure after failure, and of course, never paid back, while meanwhile never paying taxes on any of it.

The billion he lost was not his own money: it was Daddy's and other people's. Six bankruptcies.

In fact, Fred Trump was the brilliant real estate mogul. All the time #loser was #losing, Daddy was #winning--except that one year he sunk $15 mill into a #failed "apartment" scheme of his son's, and posted a loss.

Deplorables have only two options:

1. You can admit you support a fraud. Embrace it. Admit it. Be proud. You stand behind a fake, lying grifter. You like those values. You're ok with it. That is exactly who you want running the United States. IN other words, this guy:

OR:

2. What you will do, continue to live in La La Land where everyone is lying but Trump.

Could you point to your source or sources please? Clearly people in this thread are grinding axes. I would actually like to know what really happened. My current expectation is this is probably the same shoddy reporting as the Amazon paid zero taxes story (Note when any talking head on either side of the political spectrum discusses taxes they are wrong because they don't actually understand them).

So, BooBooBear has picked curtain number 2: Utter stupidity.

I provided a link to the NY Times Story in my first post. They lay it all out.
NO exaggeration. Over ten years at the height of his "Art of the Deal" persona he was losing every single year to the tune of a billion total.

Notice the Orange One has not denied the accuracy of the story; he's merely provided a million excuses like "Everyone did it." But he hasn't disputed the figures.

And yes, it was money he got from the banks, until they stopped lending to him, and his father who bailed him out over and over. Was this before or after he blew through his 425 mill inheritance? I don't know.

The Times notes he is #winning the record of largest losses by a single American in this time frame.

Donald had a knack for picking losing real estate projects. They all failed just like his bankrupt casinos. He's a total fraud.

It's weird that CNN & MSNBC thinks that this is breaking news. It was all over the news years ago. Dave Letterman had a top ten list about it. Hell, Trump even wrote a book about it, "The Art of the Comeback".

Don't confuse them. Watching them think this is 'breaking news' is fun.

Watching the BroPatrol try to spin it is even funnier.

Anyone who needed the Times article to finally come to the conclusion that our Liar 'N' Cheat is a fraud just hasn't been paying attention.

They're still miles ahead of the board Trumpettes who are still pretending they don't see it for . . . reasons.

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

Yeah folks are making a big deal out of something that was already generally known.
Dude lost money with a casino. That is impressive.
Anyway it's kind of a non-story and an ancient one at that but I guess it makes people happy.

 

[SpeareChucker]

As I said in another thread...there is only one reason people support trump. They are racists like he is. Pure and simple. Stop making excuses and grow some balls...admit it.

OMG

White Nationalism permeates...

We never knew how many of them there truly were until he was elected.

 

[SpeareChucker]

I said it before, and I'll say it again...


When you create a tax code that emphasizes and incentivizes avoidness,
Who stands to benefit?

Oh they were always there.....they just weren't embiggened to leave their shitholes, sewers, trailers and (in your case) teepees until Trump got elected.

I only read the first post.

Option #2, for all of them - right?

What do I win?

New York Times story on Trump’s billion-dollar tax write off was told by Trump 15 years ago on ‘The Apprentice.’


What a scoop!

 

[Wrong Element]

It's weird that CNN & MSNBC thinks that this is breaking news. It was all over the news years ago. Dave Letterman had a top ten list about it. Hell, Trump even wrote a book about it, "The Art of the Comeback".

That he was bleeding money in the "Morning in America" mid-80s, when he "wrote" that first book that put him on the map as the Greatest Businessman Of Our Time, is definitely news.

And yes, it was money he got from the banks, until they stopped lending to him, and his father who bailed him out over and over. Was this before or after he blew through his 425 mill inheritance? I don't know.

Of course, there are still institutions/individuals that are loaning him money, and we don't know who they are or how much or what they might be in position to demand in return.

You'd think that would be a matter of bipartisan concern.

They have stated several times that “they see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

Of course it's old news but that's not the point.

The point is that 90% of 45's supporters never read any of his books let alone any books at all and they didn't know about his failures.
