How does an individual LOSE $1 Billion in a year?

[nat4900]

You do know that his father gave him start up cash and later he inherited his father's business. He didn't have to build much. His name and father's connections made that simple.

Add to that the now very real FACT that since Trump isn't paying taxes, the rest of us poor slobs had to underwrite the infrastructure to help "poor" Donald, the so-called genius scammer.

 

[Dr Grump]

Recent Blueslegend poll who are the dumbest people on the planet? 100% Hillary and Hillary voters.

Must be true then.

 

[Eloy]

The first thing Donald Trump would do on being elected as another Republican thick is to have the laws changed that tax property speculators.

We are not talking about a country here (although there are some whose GDP is just about $1 billion), but we are talking about an individual who is running for president on the mantra of "the best businessman on the planet.....ever......trust him, believe in him....he's the greatest, etc."

Yes, our tax system is seriously flawed in allowing someone, like Trump, to not only list losses of $916 million in ONE single year (and the repercussions that such a loss may have also caused on others)....BUT to turn around and be exempt from any tax burden for 18 subsequent years...........AND, the clincher, is to carry on in your lifestyle after such a loss, to STILL be living in a penthouse, have a private plane and still be able to walk into most banks and get additional risky loans.

I know that many of us have written Trump's eulogy over many other discovered flaws in Trump's character and history, but surely the average voter must place aside any hatred of Clinton and REJECT this charlatan who could seriously damage not only our economy, but who is thin-skinned enough to even risk our world standing.

Trump wants to trust him as a businessman?

You do realize that all businessmen have lost money at one time or another. All that matters is the total at the end not the ups and downs in the middle

I suppose you think anyone with a net worth of say 100 million is a failure because they lost a few million here and there over a lifetime

 

[Dr Grump]

You idiots have been using that narrative for 50 plus years, Dem's smart Rep's dumb when are you morons going to get some new material? I'm 10x smarter than you and most of your hack lib pals. Get on your knees and thank me for even taking the time to acknowledge your existence.

Mate, the chicken in my avatar shows more signs of intelligence than your posts. As for Dems smart, Reps dumb, well stop electing dumb people. You've had Quayle, Dumbya and Palin on your tickets. Now come the main course, Trump. All four of them dumb as a sack of rocks. I can't think of one Dem on any ticket in modern history who has been dumber than any of 'em. Thick as pig shit and all repubs. Here's a hint: stop voting for dumb fucks and people won't think of the GoP as the Party of Fucking Morons.

Trump is not a great business man. A great business man doesn't lose 1/3 of his wealth in one fell swoop. A great business man doesn't open a new casino and file for bankruptcy the very next year.

If success is measured in the accumulation of wealth, Trump would have had more success simply investing his inheritance in index funds.

How did Hillary lose six billion dollars, a laptop , and four American lives while she was Secretary of State?

RIGHT! We are actually subsidizing him as he rides around in his private jet and helicopter. While Bill Gates and Buffet may have taken some of the same tax breaks, you can bet their contributions to charity outweighed their benefits. If that were true of Comrade Trump, he would have revealed his income tax return a long time ago.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Obama and hiLIARy have added $10T to the federal debt, and the prog loons' panties are in a twist because Trump risked his own money.

That's a lie. Most federal spending is mandatory, and can only be changed by legislation.

All that matters is he recovers from it. Like I said there is not one extremely successful businessman especially in the volatile and speculative business of real estate development that has not at one time or multiple times lost his shirt

And if all he did was invest it you'd be complaining that he was just another rich guy who didn't create jobs

What do you expect from a Trumpette? Here's something to think about...

Trump's economic plan would add trillions to national debt:...

Losing a BILLION in an upward market makes Trump (as he boasts) the "best businessman in the world"???? Really ??? LOL

He's not extremely successful when compared to his peers.

Hillary 'lost' $6 Billion....evidently it isn't that hard to do.

you've never tried to open a casino or an airline in any year have you?

funny how you can't seem to understand the concept of self promotion unless it's a politician you are going to vote for

I didn't say he was I said there is not one extremely successful business man who has not lost money at one time or another

So that a mediocre businessman loses money on a deal here and there should not surprise anyone

Obviously, youre ignorant of tax law and liability. You'll also note that the nyt defrauded the IRS out of millions due to some shuck and jive accounting.

The New York Times Paid No Taxes in 2014
The New York Times Paid No Taxes in 2014 - Breitbart

Did the NYT LOSE a billion dollars in 2014???

Wooooosh, right over your ignorant noodle. We get it toady, you hate Trump....you really don't think you're going to change anyone's minds do you? That goes for all you leftists. The anti Trump insanity on this forum has went from comical to just sad.

The anti Trump insanity is ignored. The democrats are now the homeless man standing on the corner screaming about the end of the world.

Simple, the man is a real estate developer. RE is a very volatile industry. You can easily make a bundle, then turn around a lose a bundle.

I understand that as parasitic food stamp recipient you believe that you have a right to Trump's money .



But if Trump lied about losing 916 million dollars the US Attorney would have prosecuted him for tax evasion.


So STFU , learn a marketable skill, become gainfully employed , earn a couple of millions and invest them wisely.
