Ahhhhhhh no. He lost investors money(not his) and then other investors or customers of the lending institutions he used get to charged higher rates to cover his ignorance and yet he gets to write it off and not pay taxes while I am at 31/33 percent making 50.000?Donald Trump is a crook and should be in jail.
This is patently false. The IRS doesn't green light billion dollar losses. There have been audits. Only profits are taxed, not losses. This whole issue is a non-issue and the only people barking about it are people who either don't understand the tax code or are purposely misrepresenting the facts.
I agree nothing shady but how does a "successful businessman" lose almost a billion in wealth in one year? Your talking about NJ casinos and the Plaza hotel. Not exactly ghetto real estate.
Maybe he was so busy running Trump U that he didn't keep his eye on the ball.
Most of us who have been following Trumps antics for the past 50 years know what a phony he has been his entire life.
My question is why you don't know that? Or maybe you just don't care.
There have been others to lose that and more and are still wildly successful.
If you don't like Trump its understandable, but it doesn't change the fact that the guy has been successful and has done more to improve the lives of average citizens than Hilary has or ever will.
like i said, we had several customers go bankrupt and we lost millions of dollars that we provided services for. it is a legitimate part of business. the fact that you are unequivocally telling me otherwise just demonstrates that you dont know what you are talking about. you should be asking me about this topic not telling me falsehoods.
ive sat on 3 creditors committees, so I have seen the process from the front row seats.

No it is not. I never said a thing about what it is you are talking about.I never said a word about the IRS green lighting anything ,never said a word about losses being taxed you seem to the one who does not understand how the Tax codes work.

You said he lost investors money not his. He lost both. You can't write off loan principal, you write off LOSSES and interest. Big difference. The loss the NYT times reported was REAL.
For your first point... It doesn't sound like you've set a very high standard for POTUS if the measure is simply who will embarrass the country less.
I guess a simpler way to ask the question would have been "Do you vote for your own self interests or for the interests of the greater good?"
I guess humor over our current dilemma of choices didn't translate well. Of course I have a higher standard for POTUS. No one of that standard is running, however.
To answer your question, I will vote for the interests of the greater good, which pretty much IS my self-interest.

Well then, who is the most qualified candidate in Washington or in America? Nobody has a clean record. Every politician has an agenda and many questionable donors. Except Hillary's past is so corrupt that the media is having a hard time keeping them from the public. If people buy into the liberal media brainwash they have only themselves to blame for the income inequalities and being shortchanged by the establishment.
