no fan of trump, but he never went bankrupt or ' bust'.

From the Post story:

[quote]The Taj bankruptcy was a corporate filing, as Trump has noted. But there was much overlap between Trump the corporation and Trump the man. He owned 100 percent of the casino, documents indicate. As the Taj tumbled, so did Donald Trump, documents show. He eventually gave up half of his stake in three casinos and sold off other holdings, including the 282-foot Trump Princess yacht.

Roger Gros, publisher of Global Gaming Business magazine in Las Vegas, witnessed Trump’s rise and fall in the casino business. He has tracked Trump’s presidential campaign. Gros said the version of events Trump shares on the campaign trail does not square with the events that unfolded a quarter-century ago in Atlantic City.

“His claims now just are not credible,” Gros said.[/quote]

Ok, I'm confused.......I have no idea what notes1 honestly believes passes as LEGIT or "REAL" (see also "HONEST") information these days, but clearly he is either seriously deluded, or deliberately disingenuous (or downright false).....Every time I try to "debate" him (even throwing him a bone or three about some things he actually says that I agree with or make sense), he cuts and runs claiming he cannot be "bothered" but NOT BEFORE lobbing some lump of crap information about some issue that is patently FALSE (untrue)......here is another example, this claim about "NO BANKRUPTCY" existing in trump's history..........bwahawhawhahaha.During the 80s Trump greedlily (and stupidly) surfed the stock/real estate bubble that ultimately crashed in late 1987 which precipitated a STEEp and drastic plummet of both his Business wealth and PERSONAL wealth (the two are obviously intertwined), and he suffered grievously.   This is a matter of public record, which anyone with the time and know how can easily verify.through the byzantine corporate "Bankruptcy" laws/rules/regs that existed in the 1980s and which persist to this day, he avoided personal ruin and was indeed able to mount something of a comeback starting in the early 1990s, sparked in part by his casino "EMPIRE" back then which included the three AC properties he once was famous for......but (again as a matter of public record) Trump's Global Business interests were all intertwined and he utilized his extremely profitable AC casinos to fuel another "rise" in his overall real estate empire, which also expanded to include numerous joint ventures with other "investors" as well as a questionably legit "WEALTH SEMINAR"  that turned out to be just another one of those scams that string people along to keep putting up several thousand dollars a pop to hear "the Donald (as in duck)" spew a whole litany of cliches about becoming wealthy that do nothing of the sort for the audience (keeping in mind that DONALD himself NEVER earned a godd-mn thing, he inherited and/or was handed a vast fortune by his father......total opposite of self made.)Trumps casinos (i.e. the TAJ) have gone bankrupt three times in their checkered history, but this was due mainly to the fact that Donald siphoned off the profits the casinos kept bringing in during the "Cannot lose" period of AC gaming history (i.e. from the mid 1980s all the way to 2003/2004) and funneling them to his other ventures and concerns.   He essentially drained the wealth that he could from AC.and blew it elsewhere, one of many similar tales which help explain why AC is in the shape it is today (and answer the question that YOU, notes1, asked frequently, about "WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY GO IN AC FROM THE GRAVY DAYS WHEN CASINOS WERE FABULOUSLY PROFITABLE?".....AC city officials squandered (or stole) the tax revenue, and the companies themselves (like TRUMP et al) who owned the AC casinos did NOT re-invest or re-funnel the majority of the profits made in AC....it all went elsewhere.)My point here is this:  If you (as a totally intransigent and intractably stubborn and myopic) Republican(t) are now honestly convinced that Donald trump is (or should be) the BEST choice for president this coming election, you have reached the absolute bottom of whatever barrel you place your mind and intellect within......the man is hardly a business "tycoon" (more BUFFOON), and has no clue about how to run a corporation, let alone a government the size and scope of the USA.....he does not even know what he "knows", or believes, and by and large the people who are now supporting him (lower middle class white voters who for some desperate reason think they are conservative republicans) have nothing in common with him, and he cares NOT A LICK about them....he only cares about his own narcissistic image TODAY, RIGHT NOW, THIS MINUTE......if he were elected (which he will not be), it would be a apocalyptic catastrophe not only for the USA, but the WORLD.    I honestly believe he would indeed signal the end of days, the APOCALYPSE, because only Almighty God himself and his son Jesus Christ would be able to stop (or repair) the damage that would ensue.....So snap out of it notes1, and vote (or start supporting) the ONLY republican truly qualified to lead (and with the right temperament, heart and human perspective), JEB BUSH  (who god only knows why has allowed this entire travesty to unfold and persist)And for the record, if I were to vote right now, I would choose Jeb......no one else.    Not Trump, not cruz, Not carson, Not Hillary and NOT BERN.   Because despite what you want to think or believe, I am a CENTRIST, totally independent, and Jeb Bush is the only SANE choice right now......the absolute LESSER of all evils, closer to GOOD than anybody.
