As a Businessman, Trump Was the Biggest Loser of All

ast October, the New York Times published a monumental exposé of how Donald Trump and other members of the Trump family engaged in sham financial schemes during the nineteen-nineties, including what the newspaper described as “instances of outright fraud,” to avoid paying hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes on the real-estate fortune that Fred Trump passed on to his children. Last month, the three reporters who wrote the story—David Barstow, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner—were awarded the Pulitzer Prize in explanatory reporting.

On Tuesday evening, the Times dropped another story that delved into the President’s financial past. Written by Buettner and Craig, and based upon “printouts from Mr. Trump’s official Internal Revenue Service transcripts” that the reporters obtained, the story further undermined the assiduously promoted fiction that Trump, before he became a reality-television star and entered politics, was a highly successful self-made businessman. He was anything but.

Between 1985 and 1994, the Times story says, Trump’s core businesses lost money every single year, and the accumulated losses came to more than a billion dollars. “In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer, the Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners,” Buettner and Craig write. “His core business losses in 1990 and 1991—more than $250 million each year—were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years.”

In case you didn’t take all that in, here is a quick recap: when Trump was portraying himself as a newly minted billionaire and financial genius, his core businesses were losing money hand over fist. Assuming the Times reporters’ analysis of the I.R.S. data on high earners is accurate—and there is no apparent reason to doubt it—he was the biggest loser in the country for two years in a row.

With his Thanksgiving vacation, President Donald Trump’s golf hobby has now cost Americans an estimated $115 million in travel and security expenses ― the equivalent of 287 years of the p**********l salary he frequently boasts about not taking.
Of that amount, many hundreds of thousands ― perhaps millions ― of dollars have gone into his own cash registers, as Secret Service agents, White House staff and other administration officials stay and eat at his hotels and golf courses.
The exact amount cannot be determined because the White House refuses to reveal how many Trump aides have been staying at his properties when he visits them and will not turn over receipts for the charges incurred.

The likelihood is that eye wont pass
An f on my report card wood bee worse than swallowing glass

Butt the rules are sew confusing, eye simply cant get them write
Hour teacher says, "heed my advice, ewe must study and sacrifice"
Butt if mouses are mice and louses are lice, how come blouses arent blice
The confusion really abounds
When adding esses two nouns gooses are geese, butt mooses arent meese;
Somebody scent in the clowns two ultimatums are ultimata, and a couple of datum are data
Sew wouldnt ewe expect it wood bee correct fore a bunch of plums to be plata?
And if more than won octopus are octopi, and the plural of ox is oxen
Shouldnt a couple of busses bee bussi and a pare of foxes bee foxen?
Lets talk about spelling a wile, specifically letters witch are silent
Words like "psychologist" and "wreck"

If its eye before e except after sea, then what about feign and reign?
The final exam will determine how eye due, weather eye pass ore fail

Inn just a little wile and then isle take a relaxing wrest on a tropical aisle.

It’s with great sadness that I watch another High School shooting. And it’s with absolute h**e for the R****t Degenerate Trump Party and the Republicans in Congress that the only option is to do nothing as we sit and watch another sad day in America.

It makes me sick that you say Trump is making America great I say BS you people are a bunch of d********g pieces of garbage when you can sit back and do absolutely nothing, you block any kind of legislation that just might minimize the Murdering of children in school.

We as adults are suppose to protect our children and this Republican Party just want to adhere to the NRA who donate millions of dollars to the GOP. When the hell does all this stop.

(WHAT THE HELL KIND OF COUNTRY DO YOU PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN WHERE WE CANNOT PROTECT OUR CHILDREN)

Another sad day for this country and it hurts when I see this kind of stuff it hurts real bad. (BUT TRUMPS R****T DEGENERATE PARTY COULD CARE LESS) I just can’t imagine how I would feel if it was one of my kids. But the way most of you Trump r****t degenerate party members think is let’s send out thoughts and prayers except more money from the NRA and ignore any kind gun control.

But I guess it’s wait a couple of weeks do nothing and those thoughts and prayers mean nothing. (DO SOMETHING DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION) (STOP BLOCKING LEGISLATION, STOP PROTECTING A BUNCH OF AH THAT SIT ON THE BOARD OF THE NRA)

It hurts me to see this while the r****t degenerate Trump supporters just sit back and except it.

(WE ARE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN NOT FILL THE POCKETS OF THE GUN MANUFACTURES, AND FILL THE GOP POCKETS WITH MILLIONS)

GOP agenda protect the wishes of the NRA to maintain power in Congress while our children get k**led in a classroom.

I am totally disgusted with you Trump r****t degenerate party that think a whistleblowers IS not protected. You people just keep listening to a pathological lying POS that resides in the White House.

So to educate the ignorant you can read the whistleblower Act.

Last week you b***hed and complain that the democrats were conducting no public hearings, and demanded public hearings. Even that fat d********g lying POS in the White House tweeted and demanded public hearings. You b***hed about the process, you attacked career officials who had the guts to stand up to that White House freak and testify under oath. All you Trump r****t degenerate party members do is attack the messenger and avoid at all cost the message.
Now that the democrats gave you exactly what you wanted and they will conduct public hearings and require all witnesses to testify under oath your complaining again. You people don’t want facts you just a bunch of hypocrites.

So it’s not about the process it’s about you obstructing a congressional investigation. Schiff even gave you the opportunity to call any GD witness the GOP wants and gave you the same amount of time to question a Trump witness under oath. BUT YOU COULD NOT FIND A WITNESS.

(YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED STOP YOUR CHILDISH COMMENTS AND TELL THAT FAT POS IN THE WHITE HOUSE FROM DEFYING THE SUBPOENAS AND OBSTRUCTING THE INVESTIGATION. IF TRUMP IS INNOCENT AND THIS IS A WITCH HUNT YOU NOW HAVE THE CHANCE TO PROVE IT.

If Trump did nothing wrong why can’t Trump and his team of degenerates get one witness to testify under oath.

In the 1980s, when life in New York City was an endless struggle to die of natural causes, Donald Trump thought he was on top of the world. It took the presidency for him to learn that he’d always been a citywide joke. It’s unfortunate that no one told him so back then, not even the true legends of New York: In 1983, when I worked for ABC Sports, I was with Howard Cosell as he interviewed Trump. When we left Trump Tower, Cosell said, “I’ve never met anyone luckier to be born rich.” To this day, Trump recalls Cosell fondly. If he only knew.

Now President Trump has chosen to leave New York for Florida: The New York Times reported last week that Trump had filed a “declaration of domicile” in September stating that Palm Beach will be his permanent residence.
Actually, chosen is the wrong word. “Fleeing” before he’s excommunicated is more like it. But still, in the annals of New York history, it’s important to acknowledge that Trump’s change of address marks the end of a totally insignificant era.
Clearing up the chaos of traffic and protests on Fifth Avenue that his presidency has caused will be the only impact his move has on the city. It’s not like he’s been paying much in the way of taxes. And the t***h is, Trump, the lifelong New Yorker, was never a New Yorker. He was a tourist.

In his 70 years as a resident, his feet barely touched pavement. He probably still thinks the subway takes tokens. He probably never waited in line for a movie, got sick on street-fair Belgian waffles, or felt the thrill of beating everyone to a cab in the rain. He never had a vicious landlord or a predatory boss, and he sure as hell never had the ultimate New York experience of suffering in silence.

I grew up in Queens, just two miles and a few hundred income-tax brackets from Trump. As kids, both of us dreamed of living in Manhattan and being real New Yorkers. In the ’60s, one of us had parents who got us tickets for Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts. In the ’70s, one of us took the Q17 bus and the F train to Madison Square Garden and paid off ushers to get into sold-out Knicks games. In the ’80s, one of us lived in a studio apartment, barely making rent while somehow going out to dinner every night, then h*****g out at dive bars.
Which brings up another consideration: With all its public t***sportation, New York was always the one city perfect for drunkenness. Yet the only vice Trump never had was drinking.
He lived in the greatest city in the world and missed out on everything. The same will be true for Florida.

Trump will hole up at Mar-a-Lago—what are the odds he can t***slate the words Mar-a-Lago into English? Ten to one against?—where he’ll be sequestered from almost all things Floridian. The Category 5 hurricanes and rising ocean floods on perfectly sunny days won’t touch him. He won’t sit by the pool chatting about his grandkids; he won’t reconnect with people he knew in high school 60 years ago; and he won’t rush to make the early bird at the best burger joint in town only to see an elderly diner hike down his pants and give himself an injection before the appetizers arrive.

His only true Floridian experience will be golf with a small ring of dev**ed right-wing entertainers/athletes/televangelists only too happy to look away as Secret Service agents dutifully kick the president’s ball on the green.

If he happens to venture out in public, he’ll realize that he’s almost as despised in southern Florida as in New York, because hordes of his neighbors will be ex–New Yorkers. Even worse, they’ll be old ex–New Yorkers well beyond the point of keeping their opinions to themselves. Their attitude upon seeing him will be: To err is human, to forgive … asinine.
Trump isn’t given to self-reflection, but while milling around the grounds of Mar-a-Lago in a Palm Beach sweat, he might just have a grand epiphany about summer in New York, all year in Florida, and the rest of his life: It’s not the heat; it’s the humiliation.

As could be expected migrants are using cutting edge technology to defeat Trumpty Dumptys wall, cutting edge centuries ago that is. Guess what they have found ways of climbing the wall. A method that involves using rebar ladders to scale one side and rope ladders to descend the other has become especially popular near San Diego. Now a new method has surfaced a trip to the Home Depot in Tijuana with a hundred bucks buys you a reciprocating saw. The tool can cut through the wall’s steel and concrete in minutes when fitted with the appropriate blades, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have said. After cutting the steel bollards, smugglers have taken to returning them to their original positions in hope of reusing the passage without being detected by border officials. Imagine an ambitious Mexican building tradesman who can overcome the ten billion dollar best idea of a very stable genius with a trip to the hardware! This is just the kind of problem solving go getter we need more of in this country. I bet he could figure out how to beat Trumps alligator and snake filled moat before it is dug and filled.

...And stop being little wussies that they are!!!!!...Start playing dirty just like Rats do!!!..Fight Fire with Fire..and get behind your President!!!..Or you are DONE!!!! ...And yes, that is a warning!!!!
