It was 4 business subsidiaries of Trump’s, out of approximately 500 businesses entities that Trump has, that ended up in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

You make it sound small, but the amounts were in the billions. Yet none of his other ventures were at risk. He owed the money he'd promised to pay and had resources available with which to pay at least a substantial fraction. Did he dig into his "other pocket" for some of that cash? No. Was it legal? Yes. Was it ethical? No.

You can trust him. I don't.

That’s why bankruptcy laws exist, a way to bounce back in life.

He wasn't destitute and was at no such risk.

I personally had relatives that went bankrupt when the bottom fell out of the market in 2008, and like many non-franchise small restaurant enterprises, they went belly up. Many small Ma and Pa operations did.

That is a far cry from Donald Trump, and therefore a FALSE analogy.

You're not doing very well.

Trump through all of his businesses has hired thousands more people over his career, many of them minorities, including lots of hispanics ILLEGALS, as Trump is primarily in the building trades.

And you know it.

God bless them, put it all on the line, and sometimes they make it, sometimes they don’t.

Trump has never seen the kind of risks I've taken, and neither have you.

Bottom line, get off your high horse, and get on the Trump bandwagon, a place where every single American citizen with an ounce of sense and a craving for major positive change in our country, needs to be.

Your projection of a "high horse" suggests you think we should all fall to a lower level of conduct. No thank you. I aspire to a higher level of conduct, every day. And so should you, starting with honesty.

“Trump has never seen the kind of risks I’ve taken, and neither have you.”

This isn’t about you, and your responses to my comments that are all correct, is just more from a bag of wind, bloviating bigtime.
