The New York Times has obtained a decade of Donald Trump’s tax figures
- Thread starter Kenneth Griffin
- Start date
Sounds like Tesla and Amazon
Seriously. If Trump would have simply invested in a standard index fund he would have done better than his stupid steak, cologne, and bankrupt casino businesses.
In before the Trumpsters show up and say it should be illegal for the NYT to release these private, and questionably obtained documents.
Ya, but this is Dirty Don, the smartest business man ever born, just ask him .
Were they lying about how profitable they were when running losses?
Must be nice to have daddy there to bail you out:
“The real estate business — we’re in an absolute depression,” Mr. Trump told the lawmakers, adding: “I see no sign of any kind of upturn at all. There is no incentive to invest. Everyone is doing badly, everyone.”
Everyone, perhaps, except his father, Fred Trump.
While Donald Trump reported hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for 1990 and 1991, Fred Trump’s returns showed a positive income of $53.9 million, with only one major loss: $15 million invested in his son’s latest apartment project.

Liberals loved Trump back during this timeframe. They also love Tesla and Amazon.
While I appreciate the investigative reporting nature of the article, it really doesn't mean anything.
The literate have known he's a fraud and a sad joke for years. Nothing from the NYT will ever move Trump out of idol status for the deplorables.

By the way, this just confirms why liberals want his tax returns. It’s solely to try to embarrass him. No other reason
Waste of time he can't be embarrassed.
Elon musk is constantly lying about Tesla’s finances.
Only some celebrity liberals. The rest of us have never been in any doubt that he was a creep. We just didn't know he was this much of a creep.
Is he? I know he got into trouble by inappropriately suggesting he would buy back stock or some such - and was punished for it - but did he lie the way Trump lied?
Note the "punished for it" part. Has Trump been punished?
LOL. LO freaking L. Liberals loved Trump during this timeframe...ok, maybe as somebody to laugh at on Letterman or in Spy magazine.
Trump's core audience for his books and his nonsense was always the type of people who support him now--easily grifted aggrieved fly-over country morons. The types of people who bought the National Enquirer for the "hard news" they get from it.
And comparing Trump's "businesses" (hardy har har) to legitimate business success stories like Amazon (Tesla may ultimately be a grift as well, but at least Elon makes something that has some tangible value). LO Triple freaking L.
They didn’t turn a profit for 14 years. It’s actually a pretty easy thing to google
Sweet pea, there’s a difference between a startup reinvesting in their business and an established real estate company losing a fourth of their businesses reported value.

Also, look at the net income up until 2017.

with only one major loss: $15 million invested in his son’s latest apartment project.
Or, to identify if that $1B in losses has been "bailed out" by laundering money for Russian oligarchs, who he's now indebted to, and would explain why there's such a big hard-on for eliminating sanctions on Russia/oligarchs....
I'm no expert, but last I heard Tesla doesn't seem likely to make it. If so, they'll probably liquidate proprietary technology to recoup something. And the technology/potential does seem likely to benefit everyone long term.
Again, no expert, but Amazon's infrastructure alone is basically too big to fail long term barring external catastrophe and/or government intervention busting retail oligopoly. Their online properties are large enough to dwarf and buyout tech upstarts to enhance their products. The world's greatest loss leading company.
Trump lost money owning/operating a casino. His successful ventures are licensing his name, leasing some commercial and residential real estate (brilliant business
), and appearing on TV. In business, he's not in the same league as Tesla and Amazon and could never be. He's not as talented and neither are the people he surrounds himself with.
Did you even read the title of the article?
It took Amazon 14 years to make as much in net profit as it did last quarter
That doesn't mean the same thing as what you claimed.
Lol at people that support this turd
They didn’t turn a profit for 14 years is also not the same as he lost money ten years in a row.
Perhaps you missed mini-Trump claiming outright that a "large fraction" of their money came from Russians...
Readin' comprehension ain't the strong-suit of The Trumpophile.....
