Donald Trunp's bankruptcies

This is fairly old news. These things were known prior to his election - where he had campaigned posing as a "genius" of a huge business empire who would help the country in the same way. Still, millions of saps voted for him. Welcome to the declining intelligence of The United States.

We all know they are all "old news," but Donald Trump brings it upon himself to make us question his presidency over and over again. Donald Trump seems immune to all the negative media coverage about him, calling them "fake news." He needs to provide evidence of those fake news.

Not that I am a Trump fan - but you want to criticize someone - do so where it matters.

Going bankrupt from a business is not unusual Ford, PT Barnum and Disney all went bankrupt prior to becoming successful. Many successful business people had this occur - starting your own business is risky. I am sure you can do a simple search and find much more than I know of off the top of my head.

Oh and another previous President also went bankrupt.....Abraham Lincoln.

Sure, but if filing for bankruptcy is part of the business plan, it seems a little questionable - even if it's only a couple of times.

You may claim not to be a supporter, but it seems obvious a defender.

The Emancipation Proclamation | National Archives

Jan 5, 2018 - President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."

Yes the fact remains he filed bankruptcy

I'd rather you go after him with something that holds water.

Mention his stupid tweet and how a person in his position should not be acting like a child. Talk about his interactions with world leaders or even that having multiple bankruptcies does not reflect well that he would be successful running a country .

Mentioning that he had business bankruptcies and was able to be successful and that few if any could get away with it is simply untrue. When I read that I could name a few off the top of my head. I would imagine there are many more individuals but not being well known we would not know about them.

On a personal note I was involved in a bankruptcy due to a business. We are solvent now (and I would say successful) without any record of this. It can happen to anyone and you an work your way out of it whether you are Donald Trump, Abe Lincoln or your average Joe.

I will defend almost anyone when I hear something I feel is said that is false. I have done this on here in regard to various individuals that do not have popular viewpoints. And of individuals I typically do not agree with their values or viewpoints. When I speak out of this false statement I am usually torn down and personally attacked.

I think sometimes people are just too emotional about a subject that they are blind to facts.

There are many people who agree with you. In fact, it IS a smart move to declare a bankruptcy when a business has no other choice. But that's not exactly what Trump did and that's what sticks in people's throats.

I don't feel sorry for a man who had to "agreed to a bank-set limit on his personal spending and sold his airline, the Trump Shuttle, and his 282-foot yacht, the Trump Princess, which he had bought a few years earlier from the Sultan of Brunei" while general contractors, building tradespeople and wait staff got cheated out of their paychecks.

He kept the same business plan, gobbling up failed casinos for a get-rich-quick scheme and it worked. "Trump brushed off the bankruptcy as “really just a technical thing” that touched only a small fraction of his net worth, telling the Associated Press then, “I don’t think it’s a failure, it’s a success.”

He sold his yacht. Yea, I feel so badly for him.

Not by me.
