Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer...

 

[Chris Craig]

No wonder he needed the tax break

 

[riverman]

Only I can fix this country!

 

[Sedatedfork]

Brewster's Millions in real life?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Nice. Came back and became President!

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Hookers and blow are expensive.

I'm not a fan of Trump in the slightest bit, but I took this article with a pretty big grain of salt. For some reason it comes off as the inverse of what my step-grandma would do, she lived in Vegas and had millions at one point but gambled it all away, but she would always talk about how much she "won", like she'd spend 100k in a night, make 25k and talk about how she made 25k, when really she lost 75... Now I assume Trumps failed a lot of times at business, I'm not defending him just reads a little fishy to me.

Well, there are only two explanations, either he's terrible at business, or he cheats on his taxes.

Or, you know, both.

Or a third option, they aren't telling the whole story.

Well, obviously it isn't the whole story, but it's not clear to me how the full story could change the numbers on the tax returns he filed.

It's like if you go to visit your grandmother and you find her dressed in a tutu, covered in whipped cream and holding the severed head of a goat.

You don't know the full story, but you do know for sure the goat is dead.

What???

 

[Stevenson]

As I have said all along, he is the modern PT Barnum, and as he famously said, that makes those who believe his BS...

 

[andalusian]

I will give this president one thing, at least it is entertaining.

What a shrewd businessman. I think he's among the top two or three losers in that time frame. Good thing he's running the country.
