NY Post: Trump’s Achievements Back Up His Presidential Run
Breitbart.com ^ | by Breitbart News20 Jun 2015 | by Breitbart News20 Jun 2015

So Donald Trump — New York’s charismatic multibillionaire businessman — has thrown his hat into the 2016 presidential ring.

While many question his presence in the race, 2016 may be the year in which America is in desperate need of a suave, successful businessperson like Trump — or former HP CEO Carly Fiorina — to solve what ails our economy.

How did Trump accumulate $9,000,000,000 net worth by going bankrupt? Can you explain please?

Trump policy leads to more jobs going overseas and consumers paying more. Democrats also talk about how jobs are being outsourced so Trump is no different

...”Want to bet that Trump is no longer in the race November 1st?”....

Probably not...but it’s good he’s in the running currently...and will be debating as he’s now in the top ten.

He’s livening things up and shaking things up...and it needs to be.....so I say let him roll.

Trump policy (may) result in consumers paying more, yes.

Trump policy however will not result in more jobs going overseas, exactly the opposite in fact.

Nice try though. Buy American. :D

Same way all companies do before they finally get off the ground.

Corporations do not look at ‘Bankruptcy” the same way that we do. After all you did notice that WAll Street guys are still alive and active after the 2008 crisis....

Wow you guys are on a roll this evening. :D


I don’t quite trust Trump. He’s going to have to convince me he’s better than Sen Ted Cruz and so far he hasn’t done that.

Please allow me to throw some “FACTS” about the alleged Trump bankruptcies.

Fact: Trump NEVER declared PERSONAL bankruptcy.

Fact: 3 individual and separate businesses owned by Trump declared bankruptcies, from among his vast business empire.

It is similar to 3 of my stocks losing money but 10 other stocks in my portfolio made profits. That does NOT mean I am a bad investor, if my overall net worth is in great shape.

Trump could not have net worth of $9,000,000,000 if he had gone bankrupt 3 times in Toto.

Actually I think he may have 120 days. But he said immediately. And since he’s probably not a real candidate, he should be pressured into this, so he can manipulate the process.

“Trump is saying the right things.”

Hm. Charlatans often do that. Especially in political races. Actions speak louder than words, however.

We all do. I have lost big time on individual stocks. But my overall portfolio is in great shape. Trump has never declared total personal bankruptcy. Only segments in his business empire have gone bankrupt. Bankruptcies are normal and necessary part of capitalism. It cleans out dead wood.

Yes and no.

Trump seems to actually be running this year. Maybe he will crash and burn, but he’s thus far convincing me he is completely series, and he’s frankly the only candidate anywhere, who is saying the things I believe are important.

I think he’s lived up to expectations thus far. We are very early in the process.

You guys should lighten up just a bit. Put more attention into promoting who you all support, and pay less attention to trying to sabotage Trump.

Just saying.

Do you have the slightest shred of proof that Trump has $9 billion? There is a 0% chance he had $9 billion.

His daddy gave him a lot of money and Trump has underperformed with it.

“Trump is saying the right things.”

So you would call saying that Americans should not be allowed to say anything negative about Muslims and Muslims should be allowed to kill them if they do is one of the, "right things."

Here is exactly what Trump said, regarding Pam Gellar, from early last month:

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/05/04/donald-trump-was-asked-what-he-thought-about-the-muhammad-cartoon-event-in-texas-his-answer-isnt-what-youd-expect/

That is the exact link, in which Trump criticised Pam Gellar for her speech.

I don’t completely agree with that, but I don’t completely disagree with that either.

I understand why some take issue with Trump’s lack of a complete statement of support for Pam Gellar, but then again Trump does have investments in the middle east, and very likely sees balance as a very good policy.

But that is the original link, right there. Take a look.

Yes, I have better proof than you.

1. Trump said he has $9 billion. Which is pretty strong evidence he doesn't

2. He trumpeted his value being $9 billion. But he provided none of the documentation, which he is going to have to provide. If he really was serious he would provide it right away.

3. His casino in Atlantic City went under. That was a major part of his portfolio and it flopped. That is huge indicator of his financial condition.

4. He has to get money from things like trashy TV shows and Multi-Level Marketing scams. No one who had as much money as he claims would have to resort to crap like that.

5. Two of his multi-level marketing scams flopped markedly quicker than these things do. His personal "Trump social network" flopped almost immediately. ACN flopped in 2011. Right before that Trump was telling people at "business seminars" that they would make a fortune - right before they lost everything. Trump has the integrity of Madoff, but nowhere near the skills.

6. He real estate business is built on low interest rates and huge leverage. If the economy ever moves away from Yellen's rut, he's going to be in a world of hurt.

Proof? I remember some Freeper Proclaiming Trump was running in 2011 and how terrible I was to say he wasn't. He's a proven attention whore. So shouldn't he be ignored until he has some skin in the game? He doesn't want anyone to know his financial condition. Until he files that paperwork he should be ignored and treated like a fraud.
