As many of us suspected Trump has been exposed as a staggering financial buffoon whose only real talent besides lying is losing money. No wonder he wants his returns hidden from public view.
In 1991 Trump’s losses were so great they accounted for 1% of total losses for the year. He lost more money than anyone in the US. Double the losses of the person in the number two spot. Over a ten year period he lost $1.17 billion.
The Art of The Deal? Na, The Biggest Loser!

Good post!

My first thought when I was watching Andromedea Cooper on CNN(gasp) discussing with some reporter how much T lost, was that if T lost money it would be a negative analysis, and if he made wads of cash, it would be "look how rich he is, how disgusting". And that's why the perpetual info fishing done by the Dems just doesn't have any long term play out in middle class America. All of these attempts at "gotcha" just play to the Blue base.

  1. This tweet nails it. The Dems are consumed with the whole effort to embarrass Trump. They are missing a HUGE opportunity to piss off and really suppress votes within T's base. Dems should be hammering Trump on the fact that he has not kept his promise about building a wall and controlling the torrents coming across the Southern border.

    The NY Times would do a lot more damage to Trump if they did more articles on DHS’ refusal to institute his immigration agenda or his broken promises on immigration rather than on his taxes from 35 years ago. Those kinds of articles only makes his base want to defend him more.
    1. For some reason, reporters at these major media outlets believe Americans care as much about Trump’s taxes as they do... they don’t. No one who lives outside the Acela route has lost sleep over them.

I saw Anderson Cooper and other excellent journalists reporting on this new financial information. We already knew that trump is a conman and a fraud. This is not new to most informed citizens. It's just further evidence of a truly bad/immoral businessman who has conned a smallish segment of America. The full story must be told even if his supporters don't care. Keep going journalists.

Do you ever tire of being the apologist for a lying, grifting, tax cheating, conman? You remind me of the battered and bruised wife telling everyone what a good man her husband is.

Anderson Cooper is a former CIA. He is a propagandist. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ernship/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.a749f047ba1a

And you think Hillary is not a conWOMAN and fraud? I can post sources and links for days and you know this...
Biden? Obama? Let's go there.....

Trump was not part of the DC establishment and that's the primary reason why he was elected. Ask anyone that has supported him; they know that he has had highs and lows, accomplishments and setbacks. Even Reds cringe at his stupid Twitter rants about his inaguration being bigger than Obamas, and other silliness. Warts and all, he was not a Bush or Clinton and that is a really good thing. And you all should be thankful that we don't have a Bush or a Clinton in the White House.

No, he was elected because of the electoral college and by idiots who saw him on tv and believed he was a successful businessman because hey, it is reality television.

So even now you believe that trump is an actual legitimate POTUS who isn't compromised by Russia and totally incompetent? If you would rather have this Clownstick in office than someone with actual qualifications to govern then I don't know what to say.

When you say Anderson Cooper was CIA, you make it sound like a slur. CIA are the good guys who are defending our country. CIA is not Democrats or Republicans. CIA are patriots working for the good of this country. Do you understand how brainwashed you are to think the CIA is your enemy?

CIA...good guys...right. If you like your government overthrown, sure. Ask the people of Iran, Guatemala, Congo, Dominican Republic, SOUTH VIETNAM (know anyone that was needlessly killed over there?). Mapped: The 7 Governments the U.S. Has Overthrown

Good guys? Ever heard of "Walling" where a detainee is slammed against a wall? Waterboarding? Sleep deprivation? Putting someone in a box that they can only curl up in. Here are just 13 "activities" that the good guys inflicted on people: These Are The 13 'Enhanced Interrogation Techniques' The CIA Used On Detainees

Keep trying....I have stated several times here that I don't have TV. I very rarely watch Fox News at a business or someone's house, maybe.. I get my information from books, news sites around the world, specialized information organizations, podcasts, independent investigative journalists.

Then piece it together to get closer to the real deal. Of course, there is an agenda with every source. You just have to work to see through it.

It easy to see with the chronology, the synchronicity, the code words, where you and some of your buddies get their news. It's like a collective Stockholm syndrome..

I know you know WHY the Electoral College was put in place. Do you propose doing away with it?

Once the CIA, the FBI, and the Department of Justice are dismantled, there will nothing left to defend us from fascism. Nothing. You are handing the keys to our nation to a madman.

I appreciate your concern, but I think your focus on the current POTUS and the intense desire to remove him from power partially blinds to the atrocities that the CIA is responsible for.

JFK knew what they were about. He said he want to "break it into 1000 pieces and scatter it to the wind". IMO, JFK was our last REAL President. He tried to make us, America, and the world a more peaceful place. And like Trump he had his issues, but JFK was one of our greatest Presidents.

As for the CIA, and really in the FBI, there are good guys and bad guys.

I agree with you that the CIA has done some despicable covert operations though the years, but the systematic way that this president* is degrading these institutions has far reaching consequences. Already, most of our previous allies are hesitant to share intelligence with our intelligence community. Already, this president* is refusing to comply with all subpoenas, which is the backbone of our constitution : three equal branches of government that serve as checks and balances to keep one branch from seizing too much power and turning out the lights.

Trump claims it was actually John Barron who lost over a billion dollars in a ten year period.

Here's an alt-left (ha!) show on YouTube that I enjoy watching. It's The Jimmy Dore Show. He's a comedian by trade, but the real connection with me is that he exposes, ridicules, rants against our Empire's war machine. This particular episode is a discussion with Abby Martin, a journalist that I respect very much.

Of course I don't agree with Jimmy's leftist wish list of single payer health insurance, free college for all, and the usual socialist stuff, but we definitely agree on reducing America's neocon agenda.

And that's why I posted this in this thread. There are movements we can align on, in this case, PEACE. I HOPE that as we prepare to assist Israel (don't even get me started on that) in attacking Iran, perhaps more people will forget about red vs blue and pressure our politicians to mind our own business.

It's called critical thinking. I wasnt writing that for you per se given your previous posts have shown you to be quite dense.
