Liberals pounce...
No triggers here. The news is trying to make this out as some revelation but he said himself in one of his books that he lost this money and worked to build up again.
The bigger concern is financial entities illegally giving out personal financial statements to a news organization.
Everyone should be pouncing. Some will ask the question "So what?", but what is pretty obvious. Everyone knows what he ran on, white fearmongering. But above all that, and what's gotten him attention in the first place, is his desire to get people to believe he's super rich and super successful. Well... is he really? If you lost $1.17B from 85-94, took numerous tax write offs because of it, don't you feel a bit defrauded by him? Like he lied to everyone about his success?
Now add that to the fact that he'd provide his tax returns, yet is now going to literally unprecedented lengths to hide them.
Now add the fact that the only thing you couldn't joke about during his roast on comedy central was his worth.
Papers illustrating the number losses. Current efforts to hide something. Historic efforts to control what information was available.
I didn't vote for the guy anyway. I don't have a horse in that race. But once you get off the "Conservatives turtle..." bandwagon, don't you feel a little bit lied to, AND kept from the truth?
Here’s another thing to add.
It’s well known that American lenders stopped lending him money. So where was he getting his loans from? We’ve learned that over the past decade he’s receiving huge influxes of cash from Russia. His own son admitted that they receive a disproportionate amount of money from Russia. We know that Russian oligarchs have used trump tower as a way to launder their money.
Who attacked our democracy in 2016 again? And for what purposes?
People who ask, “so what” are ignoring the obvious national security threat of having a financially compromised president.
How many people here are out of a job?
In acknowledging a financially compromised President, they'd also be admitting he's violating the emoluments clause. So they definitely can't do that.
This is the state tv that is brainwashing people like heathme, hack, and the rest of the trump rubes on this site.
“Wow! Him losing $1 billion is so impressive!!!”
This video is a gem. Shows a video of Trump explaining his losses in the Billions.
So congrats New York Times. You broke 30 year old news and dirt on a guy that openly admitted this.
Lots of other great nuggets that show how stupid the NYT is.
Totally great spin. Up there with meatspin. Doesn't change the fact that he control's the data he wants you to see, and when. It only shows that he's vaguely aware of how much of other people's money he's lost, and doesn't care.
You still voted for a guy that only portrays a reality where he's successful, but any ******* throwing the same amount of dollars into a 401k would have made more.
How do you not feel lied to?
Ok. So why dont you do it? Seems pretty easy. .
Btw, why do you complain about America's economic system? People can just throw money into 401k and makes lots of money, easily.
I know, I know. His daddy gave him billions of dollars that he lost and then billions more that he has now..
Still doesnt change the fact that you can take your little money and turn it into big money with just the 401k. No need to rip people of...errr.... I mean.... stick your hand out begging anymore.
Comparatively, I have. But my daddy didn't leave me millions. :}
Oh so America did good by you, and now that you made it you want to kick the ladder down.
Well, when the socialists take over, take that 401K money, start a business and let me know how that goes. Show us how its done.
