President Trump

[Rutherford B Hays]

He took advantage of the tax laws as we did......property investors did that legally back then!! Any good business person tries to pay as little taxes as legally possible. Losses can be written off...…...even Vegas losses can be written off up to what was spent.
Not everthing ventured is successful...…..what have you done lately? 1985-1994 was a long time ago!!!

I haven't lost 1.17 billion.
You would think at least one thing ventured would have been successful

Since '94, I'm sure he has had successes. The paperwork you refer to is ancient by business standards.

The story was about how he is a horrible businessman who lost more money than ANY American during that time frame. Nothing to do with Clinton, or Obama just Trump.
But just for kicks. Who was in power in Congress when these "crimes" were committed? Who controlled the Justice department and both the Senate and House of representatives from 2016-2018?
Why no charges

Obama controlled the Justice Department in 2016 and it was his AG and FBI director who covered for her. For whatever reason Sessions refused to pursue her. But I sense your frustration with justice not being served so I just want to assure you our new AG just might right some wrongs. Which is why the Dems are so anxious to marginalize him.

And again, y'all are trying to find anything to hang Trump with but turn a blind eye to obvious crimes by Clinton.

I am demoralized to hear that a billionaire lost a billion dollars thirty years ago. I can no longer support the trump he was thirty years ago.

I'm sure he had successes then too , the guys that works the money knows how to show losses to take advantage of the existing tax laws.

He was a Democrat then.

But he got better.

I believe you meant that losses can be written off up to what was won.

sessions was a very bad choice for AG . Trump gave people jobs they were not suited for . that and his spending are easily the two biggest blights on his presidency.

Not real money. Legal accounting games. Businesses were encouraged to make new investments and could write off the expenses on taxes.

that explains why he was so bad with money. thanks

He should have left Sessions in the Senate where he could continue to sit and do nothing.

real estate moguls have tons of depreciation on assets they can write off for the paper loss

Because the Trump administration chose not to, they publicly admitted that. The Trump lock her up chants were a big lie for his sheep followers.

thank you trump for getting gm to sale the lordstown plant and bringing jobs back

More like thanks go to the union.
After Trump spent the last week bashing unions.

It's easy to see where this is headed. That billion dollars he lost was for the most part the majority if not all bank money. What bank especially a US bank is going to lend a guy who lost a billion in borrowed principal any more money? This will likely shift the spotlight to his sources for more borrowed money. Deutsche Bank long suspected of being in reality little more than an international money launderer could find itself in a tough spot. Either comply with Trump's order not to turn over Trump banking history with the firm to federal investigators or lose it's US bank license and be forced to leave. Not to mention the laxness of accounting principles and the IRS lack of the resources needed to curb the type of accounting practices that can allow Trump and scores like him to get away with these type of practices.

Hell, you probably haven't lost $1.17 since you are a molly cocked and mollycoddled little ball of fear.
You are a Democrat just like Trump was when he lost billions of dollars.
He has been very successful ever since he became a Republican.

Fixed it for you

Exactly….you'd be surprised how many think none of your gambling losses can be written off. Those are usually the ones who think somehow people who deduct must the crooks!!

 

[JL 0513]

Amazon must be a total failure too. They lost billions a number of years and as a result took those losses for later tax right offs.

That Jeff Bezos is a fraud!
