what to do about Trump?!

[boedicca]

I suspect that Trump's true net worth is far lower than the $9B he claims.

He released a financial statement in June. It reports his net worth at somewhere near $10 billion. He had claimed "somewhere between $8~9 billion" and liberals speculated it was probably closer to $2 billion. The financial statement is not forged or fraudulent, it says what he is worth... close to $10 bil.

Forbes lists him as the 123rd richest person in America.

In his four bankruptcies, he had to give up stock and personally guarantee loans. I doubt his real net worth is that high given the likelihood of off balance sheet guarantees.

I suspect that Trump's true net worth is far lower than the $9B he claims. An intrepid investigative reporter could do the country a big favor by outing him. The resulting Ego Explosion would be horrifically entertaining.

What's he worth Bode....$3 Billion...so what, it's $2+ Billion MORE than needed to win this election!

It's not the money - it's his ego. He has a conniption fit when anyone questions his wealth.

It's a BITCH, Bode, BUT he's a MAN, and ACTS LIKE A MAN... something missing for a few decades now!

His last bankruptcy effected 1100 investors...ALL were high rollers that had made perhaps MILLIONS on prior Trump deals... the last one 6 years ago, is long paid back... but YOU can look at his financials, they are on line!

God, I hope they run bernie...He is the only one that cares for the little guy and isn't owned by the super rich.

I think Trump is more populist than Hillary. He would make a good third party candidate.

How about if Trump and Hillary BOTH get pissed off and run independently? A 4-way race.

Whose Hillary?

I agree that it is refreshing to see someone attack Politically Correct nonsense, BUT, and it's a HUGE BUT, he exhibits a similar thin skinned raging ego personality disorder as the one we've had in the White House since January 2009.

No thank you.

That is bunk. At least one of the bankruptcies included public bond holders, who are not all high rollers.

Trump is an interesting phenomenon. He clearly knows how to handle publicity. He has very deep pockets should he choose to expend his resources.

What if the party chieftains continue to seek Trump's head on a platter and the rank and file revolt?

We may very well see Dems believing they can afford the risk of supporting Bernie.

What then?

Leather,methinks Trump has both parties politicians in he pocket,if the Rep's dump him and he goes independent....he will Gift the Dems.,the Presidency,just sayin, steve

I hate to say it, but you're probably right.

Oh dear... You don't understand how public financial statements work, do you? Trump cannot issue a financial statement which exaggerates his net worth. It's illegal to do so in the US, pursuant to US finance laws. We can't have people willy-nilly issuing financial statements without support, we'd never know what anyone was worth. His financial statement had to be accounted by a CPA and accounting firm who stake the reputation of their company on the accuracy of the statement and you can bet you sweet ass.... can back up every single figure. If not-- any 'fudgery' would constitute FRAUD and Trump could go to jail along with any accounting people who conspired to release fraudulent information to the public. Now... I don't think Trump is interested in dealing with a fraud case in the midst of his presidential run, JUST so he can 'show off' to liberals.Do you?

Since he first began talk of running for president, the liberal left has sarcastically insisted that Trump isn't worth what he claims... Turned out, he's worth MORE. ....Stuff it!

 

[Boss]

Doesn't matter what kind of rollers they were... they invested in gambling casinos in Atlantic City. Trump, nor anyone else on this planet, can ever guarantee an investment will pan out. Investments require RISK... that's why we tax the gains on them so much less than regular INCOME.

Maybe someone needs to question Christie's fat ass on why the NJ economy went tits up? Trump didn't have anything to do with that. If he and his investors had made billions... you'd be screaming and moaning about "these privileged rich folks who get advantages you don't get..." But since they LOST money and Trump had the good sense to bail before it cratered, you see this as an opportunity to "exploit their victimhood" and turn them into 'little widow women Trump took advantage of.'

It's beyond PATHETIC!

Then they knew the risks going in... NOT like GM BOND HOLDERS where the Obomanation SCREWED THEM out of perhaps a hundred million!!!!

You don't understand what he actually filed.

Trump released a summary last month of his net worth as of June 30, 2014. He had reported that his wealth was worth $8.7 billion and also included a $3.3 billion value for his name. He also said he would be worth more than $10 billion after an unspecified “increase.”


Donald Trump Wealth He s Only Worth 2.9 Billion Despite Claim Of Extreme Riches

You are a gullible dupe if you support Trump. But go ahead, it's your prerogative.

B'loney. Trumped screwed his bondholders on a smaller scale than Obama did to GM's, but it still stinks.

The Rabid Right, the Tea Party types have been in purge mode ever since 2009. Anyone disagreeing with them, anyone questioning their motives or sincerity or political adeptness gets pilloried, spanked and declared unworthy of the title Republican. They have chased senators from their seats, they champion the government shut downs and the vitriolic stances and the stubborn, no compromise attitude.

And along comes Donald Trump. No shrinking violet he. Trump understands media relations, he understands the intractable stance of the rabid right and he is willing to suck every atom of oxygen away from the remaining candidates.

Trump will show off, exploit every situation, throw gasoline on the fire just for effect.

And the Rabid Right is just dumb enough to applaud him for it.

Stay out of the way, Democrats. Let the civil war in the Republican Party go unabated. Watch as the angry, embittered Rabid Right forms a circular firing squad and execute statesmanship, sanity and political acumen in favor of bombast, crassness and churlishness. It should be a damn fine show, so long as it remains an intramural show on the Right side of the aisle.

I haven't made up my mind yet - it's far too early. But I certainly will not support Trump due to his personality disorder. I'm liking Walker, Kasich and Fiorina right now.

Sucking all the air out of the Hildebeasty's, and the Commie/Socialists campaign.... we know you subversive scum have taken this country into a black hole, WE NEED something NEW to get us out, and a white AFRICAN from your party isn't going to get the votes this time around... you scum have exhausted WHITE GUILT!
