Trump absolutely destroyed CNN.


If you look at news.com.au headline
Media meltdown: ‘It’s unhinged’

and theage.com.au headline
Donald Trump unloads on media, leakers in long rant

He was calm and cool the whole time. FAKE NEWS!
I read this comment somewhere. It seemed very appropriate so I copied it.........
"The election of Donald Trump to the presidency has been met by unprecedented violence by his political opponents. Ever since inauguration day, liberals across the country have been turning out in droves to protest his presidency.

These aren’t normal protests, where the protestors have specific grievances they want addressed, but rather a public hissy fit, where they are gathered together for nothing more than to express their outrage that Trump won the election."

Ahh yes wealth creation. For whom? And tell me what a recidivist bankrupt has to offer.
For the people via jobs and for thr gov via taxes.
Trump rarely used bankruptcy. ...but regardless he's using a legal strategy.

You understand money doesn't grow on trees and that manufacturing is one of the best at wealth creation.

But in Florida, it was completely pro-Trump. “I love our president. He’s coming out for us, we the people!” car salesman Gene Huber, from West Palm Beach, told AFP.


Speaking to reporters on Air Force One before the rally, Trump said he was holding a campaign rally because "life is a campaign."

"To make America great again is absolutely a campaign," he said. "It's not easy, especially when we're also fighting the press."

I would have thought that using corporate bankruptcy at least 6 times is a bit more than "rarely".
Particularly when, in most of those cases, the debt for equity debt re-arrangements have involved significant losses to the value of the workers' retirement pension plans, due to their holdings in the companies' shares.

I thought it was 4x...either way sometimes bankruptcy is the best option.

I've never seen a bigger group of low energy losers criticise a guy for having a handful of business ambitions that didn't work out. Says a lot about the mindset of these people that they'd be happier to not try and not succeed than fail.

I guess not everybody can charge hundreds of thousands of dollars to give one hour 'speeches'.

Where's your source for at least six times? Seems like you're spreading fake news again.
Since you asked so nicely:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...nald-trumps-companies-have-declared-bankrupt/

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...tcy-four-or-six-times/?utm_term=.230b95fc8301

http://www.snopes.com/2016/08/01/donald-trumps-bankruptcies/

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-bankruptcy-math-doesn-t-add-n598376

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump

But I really think that someone like yourself who's just been caught out posting absolute bs, in an obnoxious attempt to capitalise on human tragedy for party political purposes, should be a bit more circumspect in accusing others of your own crime of spreading fake news.
Especially when your claim is so blatantly false and just downright stupidly ignorant.

you clearly have no clue regarding some of his business endeavours. he totally ruined the lives of many of the average americans he now claims to represent.

NEWSCASTER: The bankers do not want Trump to file for bankruptcy.

NARRATOR: He was looking for a way out. He found one, Wall Street.

NEWSCASTER: Donald Trump is gambling investors want to bet on him─

DONALD TRUMP: This is a very exciting day. This is just the right time, and it’s the right time for this industry. So we’re really─ we’re really happy, and this is a very exciting day.

NARRATOR: He was selling shares in the casinos. With Trump as the pitchman, the stock DJT hit a high of $35 a share.

TIMOTHY O’BRIEN, Author, TrumpNation: Of course, it left Donald Trump as the steward of a publicly traded company, which is kind of like leaving a kid locked in a candy store overnight.

NARRATOR: Trump paid himself $44 million for services, and he’d been reimbursed millions in expenses even as the stock price began to fall.

MARC FISHER, Co-Author, Trump Revealed: So he was making tens of millions of dollars a year personally while the stock price was sinking, almost collapsing.

NARRATOR: The company filed for bankruptcy three times. Investors lost billions.

TIMOTHY O’BRIEN: He never earned a dime for his shareholders, for pensioners who had their retirement funds tied up in those casinos, never earned a dime until he just drove the whole thing off the cliff.

Would have made more sense if he said "I'm holding a campaign rally because I'm a campaigner"

Was doing some light reading on the adulterer:

As part of the couple’s divorce proceedings, Ivana Trump’s lawyers asked him under oath about his dealings with other women and whether he had been faithful to his wife.
Instead of answering, Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Over the course of five depositions that summer, he was asked approximately 100 questions related to marital infidelity. He pleaded the Fifth on 97 of them.

No not that sorry Maggie (you are honest and persistent, very redeemable ;)) I just don't think anyone (and I know I don't) cares. The guy is a verified douche, criticising him about this sort of stuff just enables others to say 'but 50% (or whatever it is) cheat on their partners'. Why offer that out for him?
He will either enact policy that benefits the US and doesn't start a major conflict. Or he will continue to be a flop. Have a go at him for that and it will work better :).
