Wow. Digging up gossip from 50 years ago when he was a teenager? Really?
How about going after some lefty politicians once!?

“So how well did Trump do academically? Back then IQ test wasn’t a tamboo so he must’ve taken it”

This has been public for some time. Trump’s IQ is reported to be 156...genius.

“Also, I’d bet a lot of the note holders in his various corporate bankruptcies and defaults weren’t so happy.”


I hope you do realize these were Chap. 11 reorganization BKO’s where the creditors get paid.

A legal opinion:

Law Dictionary: How is Donald Trump Able to File for Bankruptcy So Many Times? The answer is HE DIDN’T!

http://thelawdictionary.org/article/how-is-donald-trump-able-to-file-for-bankruptcy-so-many-times/

Written by James Hirby | Fact checked by The Law Dictionary staff

People might ask “How is Donald Trump able to file for bankruptcy so many times?” The answer is “He didn’t.” Trump himself has never filed for bankruptcy. His corporations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy four times. By filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the corporation is allowed to continue running while restructuring and reducing its debt. By allowing the business to continue, employees still have their jobs and the business is still making money. Corporate debts still need to be repaid but they may be reduced. The corporation must develop a repayment plan and corporate budget. Both must be approved by the creditors and by the bankruptcy court.

For his own good.

The creditors in the bankruptcies were given equity in place of actual fixed value debt instruments. Folks who buy debt instruments of corporations are not interested in equity. Debt instrument provide regular income, preservation of capital, and liquidity.

In the case of the trump shuttle, trump just defaulted, and the creditors took over. Again, that is not what the creditors were looking for when they loaned trump’s shuttle money.

“”Lifelong friends is a term not used by O or HRC””

Boy! Is that the truth....Not one person has come forward to speak about their great “friend”, Barack or Hillary. But neither did anyone come forward to say Bill Clinton was their best friend.

The only thing close to approaching long ago friendships was some female getting a prime contract (millions) on the obamacare website who is/was a friend of obozo’s wife!

OboO wife spent so much time In The Jesse Robinson Jackson home the siblings called her Sis They are related back in the Friends Plantation area. Which means she is also related to his half Bro Noah who is doing life for his involvement with the black muslim street gang founded by a Mexican drug cartel. Obama “organized “ the community they controlled.
Said Gang was involved with drugs, male/female prosititution, murder for hire and domestic terrorism financed by Kadaffi through FerretCON ( who converted them to Islam en masse so they could plan their activities without government involvement in their “temple”.

Most importantly they were all close until Noah was sent up

Oh my. Talk about desperate. Attacking Trump based on hearsay back when he was in military school? Just lame.


Yes, enough of this hearsay - time for a type written memo to be picked up behind Kinkos....:^)

Wow.
They found so much information about Trump but never cared about Obama’s schooling.
Why is that?

Not many people get to work out leadership principles, cause and effect, the hows and whys of success and failure, while still in high school.

Everything I needed to know about leadership I learned as a Patrol Leader in the Boy Scouts.

Nice summation.

” his fame as a real estate mogul, reality TV star and White House contender. Even at an academy renowned for imposing strict standards on its cadets, Trump often managed to play by his own rules. He often left campus on weekends and drew the envy of fellow students for his habit of bringing attractive women to the school. “

Well, just damn...it...
