Everyone acts like it is so hard. I don't get it. This country fought all over the whole world 70 years ago and dominated. We can certainly eject illegal occupants of our country.

Such a stupid and ignorant statement. So when does filing bankruptcy for a specific business you own equate to one being bad in business? Mind you, the bankruptcy is for the business ventures he had (the entity), the bankruptcy was never under his name personally. There's a huge difference.

Oh yeah, Trump is worth $10 BILLION with a $400 million annual salary. Doesn't sound like he's a bad business person to me. In fact, to be successful in life you have to take risk otherwise you become complacent and remain a loser. So what Trump filed bankruptcy for say 4 of his previous businesses when he has like 50 other successful businesses.

Trump is a brilliant man and very calculated. He genuinely wants to improve America by bringing jobs back to the US and by addressing issues that are "politically incorrect" to talk about.

Trump refuses to accept money from donors and special interest groups because he doesn't want to owe them any favors. This is exactly who we need as president. Trump is keeping money out of politics which is something we the people all want. So what he's blunt when he speaks and has a big ego. That's Trump's swag. Let him be. At the end of the day, it's about getting results and Trump is a natural leader who will get results and turn this country around. Stop hating on him. He means well.

Uh....because it is that hard not in the least because there are something called federal, state, and local laws which will highly constrain any plan of action.

Secondly, killing is much easier to do than peacefully rounding up and deporting people.

Now who's making stupid statements. You think Trumps a brilliant man, shows you're no rocket scientist.

Worth considering in many cases.

Everything you want to know about Donald Trump's bankruptcies



Donald Trump brags about how well his businesses have fared in bankruptcy. And in fact, no major U.S. company has filed for Chapter 11 more than Trump's casino empire in the last 30 years.

"I have used the laws of this country ... the [bankruptcy] chapter laws, to do a great job for my company, for myself, for my employees, for my family," he said during the first Republican presidential debate on August 6.



Trump claims that successful businesses file for bankruptcy all the time. At the debate he said "virtually every person that you read about on the front page of the business sections, they've used the [bankruptcy] law."
But the facts don't back that comment up.
Despite high profile examples, including General Motors (GM), Lehman Brothers and most of the nation's major airlines, fewer than 20% of public companies with assets of $1 billion or more have filed for bankruptcy in the last 30 years, according to data from Bankruptcy.com and S&P Capital IQ.
Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy. But he has filed four business bankruptcies, which Bankruptcy.com says makes Trump the top filer in recent decades. All of them were centered around casinos he used to own in Atlantic City. They were all Chapter 11 restructurings, which lets a company stay in business while shedding debt it owes to banks, employees and suppliers.

He makes no apologies for having much of his debt wiped out. "These lenders aren't babies. These are total killers," he said at the debate. "These are not the nice, sweet little people."



Here's a look at Trump's bankruptcy track record.
1. Trump Taj Mahal, 1991
Trump's first bankruptcy filing was probably the most personally painful for him. To come up with the funds he needed, he sold a 282-foot yacht, as well as the Trump Shuttle, the airline he operated at the time that flew between Washington, D.C., New York and Boston, according to media reports at the time. He had to give up half of his ownership stake in the Trump Taj Mahal, but he did retain control of the property. His largest creditor was financier Carl Icahn, who held $400 million in bonds. Now Icahn is Trump's pick for Treasury secretary should he be elected.
2. Trump Castle Associates, 1992
In less than a year he was back in bankruptcy court for his other Atlantic City casinos. This bankruptcy included the Trump Plaza Hotel in New York, the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City as well as the Trump Castle Casino Resort. He gave up half his interest in the New York Plaza to Citibank, but retained his stake in the casinos.
3. Trump Hotel & Casino Resorts, 2004
Trump didn't go back to bankruptcy court again until November 2004, when he filed to shed debt at his various Atlantic City casinos and a riverboat in Indiana. It was another quick trip through bankruptcy court; the company shed $500 million in debt and emerged from bankruptcy the following May. Trump turned over majority control of the company to his bondholders but remained the largest single shareholder, and he once again kept control of the casinos.
4. Trump Entertainment Resorts, 2009
His most recent bankruptcy came in 2009, after the company missed a $53.1 million bond payment. That was pretty much the end of the road for Trump in Atlantic City. While his name remained on three casinos, he resigned from the board and gave up his remaining stake in the company.
"I had the good sense, and I've gotten a lot of credit in the financial pages, seven years ago I left Atlantic City before it totally cratered," he said during the debate.
The two Atlantic City casinos that still had the Trump name filed for bankruptcy yet again in 2014. At the time Trump made sure people knew he was no longer running the company, and sued to have his name removed

If he could use his bankruptcy tactics to wipe out the US national debt, he literally will earn each American over $50k as a president...
