You tried very hard to make it appear that Trump simply does what all billionaires do. Thing is, Trump’s many business failures, including 5 bankruptcies, are well documented and widely known.I explained in another post how High Finance among Billionaires operates.
When a Real Estate Magnate owns Billions in Real Estate that means they
rely on Mortgaging that Real Estate.
It was explained nicely by Bob Woodward in his book - Maestro - {2001}
A book highlighting the way Alan Greenspan thought as Fed Chairman.
Greenspan was obsessed with going over Big Business and their Inventories.
Where a shortage signaled one thing and an oversupply another.The key
to how Greenspan determined if to raise the Overnight Loan rate or let it
remain the same.The Size of Inventories by key Companies { Those who Manufacture
Goods}. That is why Trump has Debt.Most Americans have debt in the form of their
Homes.They Have a Note to pay off.
Factually, if Fred Trump hadn’t given Donnie hundreds of millions of dollars, and repeatedly bailed him out of poorly considered ventures, Donnie would have only a fraction of the wealth he currently enjoys.
Trump’s sole legitimate claim to business savvy is his unhesitatingly amoral willingness to lie, cheat, and/or steal to make money, period.
Other genuine self-made billionaires (none of whom has ever declared bankruptcy) mock Donald Trump for the side show huckster that he is.
Mark Cuban - “I’m not so sure Donald knows what he’s not good at. What he’s done well is put his name on big buildings, right? He appears to have done well putting his name through a licensing arrangement on hotels and buildings”.
Michael Bloomberg - “Trump says he wants to run the nation like he's run his business. God help us.”
Warren Buffet - “Now I've got news for him, I'm under audit too. And I would be delighted to meet him any place, any time between now and the election. I'll bring my tax return, he can bring his tax return. Nobody's going to arrest us, there are no rules against showing your tax returns. And just let people ask us questions about the times that are on there," Buffett said. "You're only afraid if you've got something to be afraid about”.
Meg Whitman - “Trump's reckless and uninformed positions on critical issues -- from immigration to our economy to foreign policy -- have made it abundantly clear that he lacks both the policy depth and sound judgment required as President."
And even the Koch bothers, who regularly bankroll Republican candidates -
"I see two people that as of this point we're not supporting," he said. "Are you going to put a gun to my head? If I had to vote for cancer or heart attack why would I vote for either?"
He added that Trump's "guiding principles are antithetical" to those Koch believes in, namely, free trade.”
