Weird how this guy claims to be so rich, but doesn’t seem to be able to make any money. >

Ohh...He makes money...he just doesn't tell the IRS >

You spelled "takes money from Russians" wrong. >

The confusing thing is the years where he didn't lose money. What was going on in 2018 and 2019?
I've got some theories, but that's the more interesting discrepancy to me. >

He sold his 4% share of a housing complex in Brooklyn in 2018. >

The most telling part of this 'Trump profit' to me is - this is the sale of property Trump inherited from his father.  This was inherited profit - not profit from Trump's own investments or business acumen.
Keeping that in mind - Trump made virtually no profit at all for the 6 years of taxes that have been made public.
Anyone want to bet the story he told the banks to get loans during that time was completely different from the story he fed to the IRS?
Trump is guilty either of bank fraud, or tax fraud, or both. >


Trump is guilty either of bank fraud, or tax fraud, or both.

insurance fraud too.  he was telling the banks, insurance companies, IRS all something different.  Also, the sale of this property is rather funny.  he "inherited" the whole thing, full ownership.  why did he only have 4% left?  he made loans and used that as collateral, and then didn't pay the loans back because they were terrible investments.  where did all this cash end up, I have to wonder. >

He publicly bragged about cashing in on a $17m insurance claim for Mar A Lago even though there was no actual damage after a hurricane hit other parts of FL.
Another bogus claim with Briarcliff comes to mind.  There are likely plenty more. >

The biggliest of losers >

What a great business man!  Not >

Lol my friend always says about him being very smart rich and that lol >

I long for the day when all trump meant to me was a winning card hand. >

It's always meant fart to me and the British.
An obnoxious smell that lingers too long, quite fitting. >

Damn, that's spot on >

My hope is that the presidency will mean complete financial ruin for him. The irony is that he only ran to expand his brand. >

He ran because Obama called him out for his 'birth certificate' bullshit at the 2011 white house correspondents dinner. >

That would imply that he actually wanted to win. I don’t think he did. >

That picture election night 2016 of their inner campaign team cheering but Ivanka and him were grim-faced at the news of winning tells the whole story. Don Jr, was of course grinning like an idiot.
I wish I could find that link again, I seem to remember it being a very in depth Guardian story of the election night. >

He said something like 'I'm fucked'. He was right. It just took a while. >

Diapers are very expensive. >

Especially if you have to special order them to be extra big in the back and extra small in the front. >

He needs the all terrain, 200 lb carry capacity ones >

All terrain? This fool can barely walk. >

So they released it.
LOL! They will not stop shitting on this man and I'm here for it. Even Republicans have started turning on him more and more recently. He might actually see some consequences for all he's done. Revenge is a dish best served cold as they say. >

He has two possible explanations:
1). He is a rancidly bad businessman.  He turns billions into negative income.
2)  He is incredibly dishonest.  He is making millions and bilking the government out of millions.
So he is either an idiot or a crook or some combination, but there is no good spin on those returns. >

Well the idiot criminal is a trope. He does so like his stereotypes.
