Donald Trump Won’t Self-Fund General-Election Campaign

Not exactly sure what you believe is "debunked", that Trump filed personal bankruptcy? I don't believe anyone has asserted that. However, Trump has bankrupted multiple companies and has made liberal use of bankruptcy.

Per the attached: "...And in fact, no major U.S. company has filed for Chapter 11 more than Trump's casino empire in the last 30 years...."

Atlantic city went through a massive recession and many many businesses there went bankrupt, not just Trumps..

As each year puts more and more distance to my departure from the US I grow more appreciative of the wisdom of that decision. It will be a circus, there is no doubt, how many rings there will be is anyone's guess.

The statement was about Trump filing for bankruptcy personally.

As the article pointed out, Trump did it more than most and over a 20 year period, so a single Atlantic City recession is not the reason.... it seems it was more the traditional reason: mismanagement. Financing a $1B construction project at 14% in the late 1980's is either living on the edge, constructive fraud (knowing you were going to not pay it back) or just poor judgement.....

What's Bernie doing - creating a sovereign wealth fund from his donations? Please don't selectively bash one candidate for doing something that every other candidate has been doing.

So how about those Ron Paul campaign people that just got arrested for basically using his campaign to funnel money to themselves?

You may think the third parties are all high and mighty but they still have their problems and aren't as righteous as they would have you believe
