A Trump revolution? - yes, for the wealthy. At least Bernie had humble beginnings, Trump had the proverbial silver spoon up his...

Trump Organization revealed that it was $5 billion in debt ($8.8 billion by some estimates), with $1 billion personally guaranteed by Trump himself. The survival of the company was made possible only by a bailout pact agreed upon in August of that same year by some 70 banks, allowing Trump to defer on nearly $1 billion in debt, as well as to take out second and third mortgages on almost all of his properties. If it were not for the collective effort of all banks and parties involved in that 1990 deal, Trump’s business would have gone bankrupt and failed.

Non-issue. Trump is the only candidate that is willing to address the issues that are destroying our country. Being a business man, Trump knows the loopholes and what has been taken too far.

The good news is, we know who Trump is and nothing surprising has come out against him. Trump supporters care about the country and the issues that must be addressed, just like Trump himself.

Because he's used those loopholes to his advantage?

And that would make him a good POTUS because?

What loopholes?

What I see is someone who took his inheritance and built it into huge company that provides jobs to tens of thousands of people. That is exactly what we need in a President to run the USA.

Trump GREW his inheritance. Unlike many trust-fund babies, he did not blow the family fortune. He grew it into an empire. Trump has a good name in the business world. I bet he paid those banks back every penny with interest. He invested in the economy by creating jobs and wealth for others. Hillary invests only in herself. Their companies are nothing but slush funds to funnel money into their own pockets. Security paid by taxpayers, housing paid by taxpayers, living expenses paid by donor and taxpayers. Do the Clintons ever spend their own money???

Frothing, foaming, grasping, reaching.

The loopholes mentioned by his supporter in post #3.

I guess you'd rather not see the man whose bankruptcies left many creditors holding the empty bag or the hypocrite who cries about sending American jobs to China who had no problem putting his name on Chinese made goods and profiting from that cheap labor, eh?
