And he won't release his tax records - first presidential candidate in 40+ years to refuse - for various made-up reasons; no, even if he were being audited, that does not prevent him from releasing his tax records. Of course, the real reason is obvious - he doesn't want the American people to see what's in there and he probably doesn't want to trigger a serious audit from the IRS. I also wonder how much money he made from his scam "university" - you are supposed to report all income, even illegally gained, on your taxes. That's how they got Al Capone; would be nice if they dealt with Trump the same way.

But we're to believe this toxic clown - this grotesque mix of Caligula and a mouth-foaming bigot from daytime TV who's destroyed everything he's ever touched - is going to "make America great again."

So the current state of the government, where it owes itself in Intragovernment Debt of $5.3 trillion (treasuries etc), and the public debt of $13.7 trillion which includes $6.2 trillion in foreign debt is any better? That foreign debt actually makes foreign countries like Japan and China happy is it helps their economies prosper based on the value of the dollar. And the tax returns will not show all of this, unless we're talking about releasing of his separate entity tax returns too.

So Trump, like many businesses, have found reasons to discount payment or not pay at all, yet our country has basically messed with every business in this country as it continues to export business elsewhere.

So which is the lesser of two evils?

"Alleged" from 30 years ago. And the article even states that he prevailed in many of the cases, then goes on to make an assumption that is completely unfounded.

You people do know how businesses are run, right? That Trump doesn't sit down and pay the bills himself?

He could have chosen to do the " no comment" thing about the Trump University class action suit that predates his announcement to run for nomination, no different than he has done with the IRS audit. Instead, Trump chose to make it a campaign issue.

It's rather amazing that in a country of 315 million, +/-, the presumptive nominees are seniors citizens with serious personal and professional baggage.

When a company declares bankruptcy, its creditors get stiffed.

Creditors include banks, small business suppliers and oftentimes former employees who have to stand in line and settle for pennies on the dollar.

I'll be concerned with this when Hillary supporters are concerned about her criminal acts.

Sub contractors have been ripped off by the rich and by builders for years, it's nothing new.

You do know a fish rots from the head, right?

Just as Obama's been held responsible for virtually everything from flat tires to cases of acne that occurred under his watch little WALLdo Donny gets the same consideration, his companies, his responsibility, deal with it.
