Will he produce tax returns to prove it?? Or just tell his minions what they want to hear and they will accept it??

I say spread the tax information all around so we can all see it for ourselves. Will Fox even touch this hot potato story tomorrow? Probably not. But put it out far and wide so the minions have to go out of their way to avoid hearing it. Get the message out that tRump is a fraud and a cheat. Lather, rinse, repeat.

He never takes responsibility for his screw-ups. There's always someone else who will have to take the blame, because it's impossible for the "greatest businessman in the world" to make mistakes.

Why any bank would loan this dead-beat money is beyond my comprehension.

Since Putin didn't give Donnie the green light on the Venezueala coup, Pompeo and Bolton are beating the war drums for Iran. Trump dreams of being a "War President," and Putin would benefit from the rise in oil prices. It's a two-fer.

Who's been bankrolling him and what is he doing or what has he done in turn for whomever/whatever his benefactor(s) is/are? There is always a quo for every quid.

most of the facts. They won't stay under wraps forever.

I've never done a poll here on DU. Perhaps we should all start picking likely funders. Winner gets 1,000 valentine hearts.

and yet he skates away. The original too big to fail, in that he owed banks so much money they did not cut him off, because they didn't want to take such a big loss. What a story. And, for the GOP all absolutely legal and something to aspire to. I want to wake up now.

They didn't do it out of magnanimity alone. What source provided security on tRump's loans with them? That's the billion dollar question he doesn't want anyone to know the answer to.

…. Justice Anthony Kennedy's SON working in the Real Estate Division of Deutsche Banks loan department. You may remember "Mr." Kennedy's sudden , and unexpected retirement from the Supreme Court. Which gave us …….. trump crony and likely pass-giver Brett Kavanaugh. Does anything else need to be said?

In just 1995 he show losses of 900 some million, almost a billion right there. In other years there 800m, 700m, 600m and on and on. I did a quick add up and it came to 3 billion in losses so I don't know why the reporters and everyone else is saying it was just 1 billion in losses.
