Trump knows tax and bankruptcy laws better than anyone. Has he used the law to his advantage? That is what smart businessmen do.

@coldjoint,
so did Al Capone for quite a long time.

So your point is,"if Trump wasnt smart enough to make a business a success or perspicacious enough to determine whether the business was even a good idea, he always could suck on the teat of the US govts' tax failure laws to pay not back any investors"

I'm unsure what you mean by lumping Hamburg in with Dresden. It is true however that the UK destroyed both cities with a firestorm.

I do not agree with your opinion that facts are lame. I consider the truth to be quite important.

I know that you lack the intelligence to address my arguments, but that does not excuse mischaracterizing them.

That the Dresden firestorm was the result of UK bombers, and not the result of US bombers, is widely supported by all historical sources, including this one:

I spend so much time addressing those topics because you keep changing the subject to those topics.

You aren't smart enough to address the actual subject, so you just lie about me instead. I merely repeatedly defend myself from your repeated lies about me.

Trump says IG report finding hospital shortages is 'just wrong'
BY PETER SULLIVAN - 04/06/20 06:37 PM EDT

President Trump on Monday claimed that an inspector general report finding "severe" shortages of supplies at hospitals to fight the novel coronavirus is "just wrong."

Trump did not provide evidence for why the conclusions of the 34-page report are wrong.

He implied that he is mistrustful of inspectors general more broadly. He recently fired the inspector general of the intelligence community, which has drawn outrage from Democrats.

"Did I hear the word inspector general?" Trump said in response to the reporter's question about the findings.

"It's just wrong," Trump said of the report.

The inspector general report, released earlier Monday, was based on a survey of 323 randomly selected hospitals across the country.

It found "severe" shortages of tests and long wait times as long as 7 days for hospitals. It also found "widespread" shortfalls of protective equipment such as masks for health workers, something that doctors and nurses have also noted for weeks.

"The level of anxiety among staff is like nothing I’ve ever seen,” one hospital administrator said in the report.

Brett Giroir, an assistant secretary of Health and Human Services, noted that the report's survey of hospitals was conducted March 23-27. He said testing had improved since then and that was "quite a long time ago."
Trump asked who the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services is.

"Where did he come from, the inspector general?" Trump said, adding, "what's his name?"

The office is currently led by Christi Grimm, the principal deputy inspector general.

According to her online biography, Grimm joined the inspector general's office in 1999.

Trump said the U.S. has now done more testing than any other country. "We are doing an incredible job on testing," he said.

He also berated the reporter asking the question, saying testing has been a success.

"You should say 'congratulations, great job,' instead of being so horrid," Trump said.

The American Hospital Association on Monday said the IG report was accurate.
The report "accurately captures the crisis that hospitals and health systems, physicians and nurses on the front lines face of not having enough personal protective equipment (PPE), medical supplies and equipment in their fight against COVID-19," the AHA said.

That is incorrect. I always provide sources for my claims. And I've always made it clear that if anyone wants a cite, they only have to ask.

The problem there is that there is nothing the IRS is after him for. Trump broke no laws concerning taxes, Capone did. An amazingly weak argument even for you.

You notice the word "laws"? None were broken.

none that have been proven YET. The tax laws big Al broke had to b dug for, they werent self evident initially. The Constitution presumes innocence. Trump is open fpr closer inpction AFTER his regime is kicked out.
Please dont be dislocating your uppr arm from patting yourself on the back , Like our sad excuse for a president.

He is visibly in violation of the emoluments clause, He will be open for mail fraud through Trump U.

Tax laws are what they are. He has been known through his business history as a NON PAYER of contracts, a Serial defaulter and a serial bankruptcy filer.

I'd imagine that you would even suggest that the Junk Bond King Michael Milken and Bernie Madoff, who's a scammer, should be held up as business models for financiers.

How about Enron? Do you think it's the most successful company in history? I have to admit that I'm gutted by your reasoning since I don't recall financial reporters telling their readers that they think Trump is a successful businessman.

It's just like calling Tucker Carlson the most "respectable" TV anchor in human history. Just don't make such comments when Shepard Smith is around; the principled reason why he decided to leave Fox News was he reportedly expressed bafflement at the way Fox News blurs the line between "the facts" and strong personal opinions of Fox's guests. Shepard Smith reckons that conservative anchors like Tucker Carlson don't do justice to the facts about Trump. Above all, casting aspersions on the Democratic Party while extolling Trump is Tucker Carlson's mission.

I have a suggestion for you, do not suggest what you think others would. It amounts to putting words in someones mouth and start rumors. I never condoned the behavior I said it was not illegal. What Madoff and Milken did was illegal.

The entirety of the MSM is all negative about Trump. Carlson is one man. What does that tell you about what he says?

The constitution? You are not talking about Trump's version of constitution? From my perspective, Trump thinks he is the constitution. And it's lucky for America to have term limits; otherwise, King Trump'd love to rule America, alas, insofar as he lives, ahem, just like his best friend Putin.

You know both Michael Milken and Bernie Madoff could make a case that they didn't do anything that's beyond the pale. All they have to do is point their fingers at Trump's tax-dodging and other financial machinations . If Trump's innocent, then the rules of accounting should be rewritten. You don't even need a lawyer in Trump's phantasmagorical world, in which Trump is above the law.
