    Given his net worth, I'd say it really doesn't matter. Sometimes filing for bankruptcy is part of the game plan. People have been known to use that to their advantage.

    What is his net worth? He said $9B or $10B back in 2016 when he announced. I seriously doubt it's anywhere close to there, but instead probably around $1B. Of course, I have no proof of this, just like he refuses to give any proof himself.

      LOL 6 times out...200? You do realize each building is a separate corporate entity, right? Best practices, especially in real estate. Don't bring the whole organization down for one casino or hotel or whatever failing.

      Yeah, and every other failed business he tried. How are those Trump Steaks? Trump Shuttle? Dead in 2 years. "A" casino? How about The Taj Mahal, Trump Marina, and Trump Plaza - 3 times. The remaining assets reorganized as Trump Entertainment Resorts, which itself bankrupted. Trump magazine? Folded in 2 years. Trump Mortgage? Started in 2006 and folded in 2007. GoTrump.com? A travel booking site. Yeah, started in 2006, dead in 2007. Trumpnet? Never got off the ground. Trump University? We all know that ended. Trump Vodka? An idea that other people don't seem to have a problem with succeeding in. Could it be that people know that Trump doesn't drink? And that's not even the complete list...

      Is an excuse. The only thing he has left is real estate and he nor his "empire" doesn't own half the buildings his name shows up on. Trump is nothing more than a brand, and a brand that is being tarnished more and more on the world stage every time he opens his mouth.

            His exact words: "Every time there's a good country, they like to compare, 'cause we've done an incredible job. You look at our mortality rate, you look at all the things, but they like to compare us to others, so they were talking about New Zealand. New Zealand! It's over! It's over for New Zealand. Everything's gone. They're beautiful. They had a massive breakout yesterday." "Yesterday" on the day he gave this speech refers to NZ's FIVE new cases. 5 new cases is 0.000001% of the population. A total of 11 cases in the last 3 months. In the US, the 46,000 new cases we had on that day is 0.00014% of the population. Over the last 3 months, we've added over 1.6M cases, or 0.005% of the population. We're the ones with the massive outbreak, not NZ. Who's taking this out of context?

              He probably thinks New Zealand has a population of 20 humans and 5 million Tasmanian devils.

                  False equivalency. A single instance of testing a filament for a light bulb is NOT a business. Oh, and how many businesses did Edison bankrupt? Technically, one, in 1894: "The phonograph was initially marketed as a business dictation machine. Entrepreneur Jesse H. Lippincott acquired control of most of the phonograph companies, including Edison's, and set up the North American Phonograph Co. in 1888. The business did not prove profitable, and when Lippincott fell ill, Edison took over the management. In 1894, the North American Phonograph Co. went into bankruptcy, a move which allowed Edison to buy back the rights to his invention." Try again. :laugh:

                        If the US's cases increased at the same rate as NZ that would be 200,000 new cases, so NZ's rate is increasing at a rate 20 times more than the US's rate. Funny how comparing massive countries with small ones is only a valid strategy when it makes Trump look bad.

                            You're seriously going to go that route? The "rate of increase" over a couple days is all you've got? Over the last few days, NZ went from 0, to 6, to 5 new cases. In the US, we went from 37240, to 39794, to 43798 daily new reported cases. So, in NZ's case, the daily reported cases is declining, where in the US, they are going up. Funny how you'll twist the numbers in any way to make Trump look good.

                                Wow. You're failing at it. TDS is the syndrome where Trump supporters will go to any lengths to defend him, not accuse him. Would you be going through the same lengths is Hillary was in office and had these numbers? I wouldn't change a thing on my side. I'd be denouncing her all the same if this was the result of her response.
