he states out of the blue "I never went bankrupt, many people went bankrupt in the early 90s, I never did." For the record Donald Trump filed for bankruptcy in 1991, 1992, 2004 and 2009 (you can quibble and deny it, saying they were business bankruptcies not a personal ones but this will shed some light on that dodge).

To quote Daniel Moynihan's famous line, "You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts."

It is hardly a quibble, denial or dodge to correctly read the U.S. bankruptcy law and conclude that Trump's statement was correct and referred to personal bankruptcy during a severe market downturn when many were forced to declare personal bankruptcy, as even the link you provided explains. He did not file for personal bankruptcy, nor did his parent corporation, the Trump Organization.

What occured were legal business debt restructurings. Words have meaning. Those words mean something limited and specific to persons with business knowledge and experience. They do not mean what you are futilely striving to imply. Go back and read the article you linked again and again until you get it; because clearly you are pouncing upon innuendo and wishful thinking out of a demonstrated animus, giving your posts a reputation for unverifiable or misleading claims.
