    ^ And here I'll have to admit to being not-so-bright myself as I am arguing with those two.

    Admitedly some very complex financial shenanigans, but Trump himself never declared personal bankruptcy.

    Again, kittens you display a natural ability to parrot one sided media, NBC and CNN.

    What it all really means seems open for much speculation.
    Is he a crook for using legaly established precedents to bail out his companies? I can't say.
    What I know for sure; is that I'm certainly not qualified to speculate on such complicated financial deals.

    I suspect very few people are.

    Trump is the last resort, think of it as a Rambo moment, no chance in hell it can works, but he is the last resort, even if it's too late

    Bankruptcies is part of business, many successful entrepeneurs go through it

    putting your money into an index fund and wait for the returns is not being an entrepreneur or a businessman, you are not taking any risk, you are basically a capitalist pig in the true sense of the term, that is doing nothing while getting paid massive amount of money.

    It means they fuked up. Nobody thinks bankruptcy is a big win.
    He used the courts to protect his personal assets and stiffed his creditors. He's a crook. And he consorts with crooks.

    we can all criticize Trump for all his business failures, but at least he is trying and trying and putting his money at risk instead of putting it in an index fund like so many have claimed it should have done to be a top billionaire.

    He's a shrewd businessman. But he will be a co*ksucker of a president.

    yes business is dirty and take a lot of innocent people into the mud. A bit like politics actually.

    How many innocent people do you think Hillary took down with her everytime she fails ? it's not money, but she takes away their dignity too.

    See the world is a really nasty nasty place, thank god we have Putin and Trump to protect us from it all

    I certainly never said that, but you have to admire the tenacity of some for being so resistant to failures

    I don't think so, he might actually make a great President. He is going to work and compromise a lot of with the Dems because his party is so rigid and authoritarian. The Dems have a real chance to push a lot of "progressive" ideas through him. A bit like Nixon.

    Are you equating bankruptcy with being a crook,if so why has he never been charged with a crime.

    If you were in a position to loose everything or declare bankruptcy would you choose to loose it all?

    I was with them in upper management at one the divisions when they went bankrupt in the 90's. It was a horrible experience. It was all the result of mistakes by senior corporate management who screwed up with their greed for acquisition. We caused a lot of suppliers to go belly up. We came out of it and went on to make the same mistakes again. I have only sympathy for the people who are losing their jobs.

    By stiffing people I ordered merchandise from and then paying a fraction of the amount owed? No I would never allow that to happen. Most companies go on spending and ordering right up until the end knowing full well that are putting their suppliers at risk. It's greedy and shameful.

    They were magic in the 90's but they gobbled up too many competitors and then let the stores rot on the vine. Their stores are a disgrace now. Customers shifting to online will kill them off for good. The senior management operations came mostly from Cincinnati. Lungren came from Nieman's. Most of the merchandisers were from NY.
