    People can hate on Trump for other reasons but the dumbest one of all has to be about his business/brand as if he hasn't done a good job

    Of course not every single thing he does is going to be a success.....that goes for the best entrepreneurs or companies out there as well

    Just truly ignorant to suggest he hasn't done a good job as a businessman

    The Trump Brand is pretty much all that needs to be said

    All Chapter 11 reorganizations, in some he took a big hit moneywise personally.

    Bankruptcy 1: The Trump Taj Mahal, 1991
    The first bankruptcy associated with Trump was perhaps the most significant in terms of his personal finances, according to news reports at the time. He funded the construction of the $1 billion Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, which opened in 1990. By 1991, the casino was nearly $3 billion in debt, while Trump had racked up nearly $900 million in personal liabilities, so the business decided to file for Chapter 11 reorganization, according to the New York Times. As a result, Trump gave up half his personal stake in the casino and sold his yacht and airline, according to the Washington Post.
    Bankruptcy 2: Trump Plaza Hotel, 1992
    Trump acquired the Plaza Hotel in New York for $390 million in 1988. By 1992, the hotel had accumulated $550 million in debt. As a result of the bankruptcy, in exchange for easier terms on which to pay off the debts, Trump relinquished a 49 percent stake in the Plaza to a total of six lenders, according to ABC News. Trump remained the hotel’s CEO, but it was merely a gesture -- he didn’t earn a salary and had no say in the hotel’s day-to-day operations, according to theNew York Times.
    Bankruptcy 3: Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts, 2004
    Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts filed for bankruptcy again in 2004 when his casinos -- including the Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Marina and Trump Plaza casinos in Atlantic City and a riverboat casino in Indiana -- had accrued an estimated $1.8 billion in debt, according to the Associated Press. Trump agreed to reduce his share in the company from 47 to 27 percent in a restructuring plan, but he was still the company’s largest single shareholder and remained in charge of its operations. Trump told the Associated Press at the time that the company represented less than 1 percent of his net worth.
    Bankruptcy 4: Trump Entertainment Resorts, 2009
    Trump Entertainment Resorts -- formerly Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts -- was hit hard by the 2008 economic recession and missed a $53.1 million bond interest payment in December 2008, according to ABC News. After debating with the company’s board of directors, Trump resigned as the company’s chairman and had his corporate stake in the company reduced to 10 percent. The company continued to use Trump’s name in licensing.

    Eh, I kinda of agree, although he's overrated as a billionaire. He wasn't a great businessman, but he was great at creating a brand based on his personality. I'll give him that. He made over 250 million on The Apprentice, and in reality probably more. It's pretty much akin to the Kardashians. They're probably not quite billionaires, but they're extremely wealthy and have successful businesses. I guess that means they've done a good job. Does that make them great businesspersons?

    Regardless, they are plenty of wealthy businesspersons that have no business running for President. Trump just happens to be one of them.

    Very disturbing video, this is why you close off the borders immediately and don't let refugees in period!!.. Yes Trump gets it!!! Dems and Libs still don't, humanitarians don't get it either until it slaps them in the face.... Hillary if elected will open up the flood gates unfortunately. Then America will be dealing with this garbage..

    This is why Europe is turning to pure shit almost over night.. I feel very bad for the European people right now.... They should scoop up every refugee they let in and send them back packing with money in their pockets.. Maybe only let the ones that found jobs stay..

    Open borders is the agenda, doesnt matter who the pres. is, dont let Trump fool you, the agenda is bigger than him. You dont think euros hate Merkel and the lot yet the damage is done, it will come here. Im tired of talking about it, youll just see when it happens.

    Comparing a billionaire real estate mogul who graduated from Wharton to the Kardashians. An exquisite example of how a liberal´s mind works.

    His real estate is all based on the TRUMP name. He used his famous name (and his dad's help and money) to build hotels and casinos, and a reality show, to make money. The Kardashians used their famous name (and their parents' help and money) to sell perfumes and clothing, and a reality show, to make money. But they're in their, what, 20's and 30's? They'll probably end up billionaires too.

    What part of Trump wanting to ban Muslims from coming in and building up bordering walls don't you understand? That's been the basis for his campaigning from the very start..

    Obama and Hillary want the borders wide open to seem sympathetic and compassionate which wins Democratic support and votes.. It's the American way of the past.. Well, it was the American way of the past but it shouldn't now in these dangerous times.. That's the same crazy and dangerous thinking the Europe leaders thought and now the citizens of Europe are paying a heavy price for it today..

    If Europe continues to get hit hard though that will open many eyes to the dangers of open borders.. More media coverage like this the better..

    So why do you think they would open borders or not close borders already open, migrants come in, numerous crimes and rapes occur, deaths, supposed terror attacks and Merkel says "We can handle this, we will handle this". She is applauded by the U.S. in doing this. The same U.S. who sprayed the raid on the "rodents" and caused them to flee. While their citizens suffer from such, what rational person would allow something to persist if they were not instructed to do so, if there wasnt a reason for allowing such to persist?

    There is not a single person who wants to open the borders. Stop this nonsense because people are not idiot as you think they are. No one is bringing in any refugees. Hillary repeatedly mentioned that she doesnt want any refugees. This penetrating idiots think refugees will come here by swimming through ocean from england to here. They dont even have knowledge of geography. They watch what's going on in europe and thinking that samething will happen here because they dont even know how easy to go from one place to another in europe especially if you are going into another eu country. Therefore, they think refugees will come here SOMEHOW even though there is no way for them to come in physically.

    Get out of your basement dude. Go have some life. Move to la, chicago, ny or something. Have some friends, go to bars etc. Closest place that you could possibly go from your house is your drug dealer who is 2 hours away by car. You live out of nowhere. Your best friend is your little tv. Not healthy.

    Clearly Trump's fault...

    Man Punches Police Officer, Breaking His Nose, Shouts: ‘Black Lives Matter’




    A 23-year-old man named Domenick Hoy has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault, among other charges, after he sucker punched a Pittsburgh police officer.


    An incident report says a Pittsburg officer was sitting in his parked police cruiser when he noticed Hoy running and screaming. The officer asked Hoy what was wrong and was subsequently punched in the face.
    Police say Hoy yelled, “Black Lives Matter,” while resisting arrest.
    Hoy will remain in jail until his April 7 preliminary hearing.
    Other than a broken nose, the officer did not sustain further injuries.

    The TRUMP name wasn't famous until Donald made it. That's how it works. And the fact that he was able to leverage his brand into an empire is the best example of his prowess as a businessman.

    And FYI...everyone who gets into Wharton, gets in on a "favor". Period.

    Trust me on that.

    Ok, they're Filipinos. That's the difference.

    I guess I needed to clarify that if you're a white male, you're not getting in just by applying with good grades. It's not like they need to fill up slots.

    You are so tied to your identity as a Turk that you can´t admit that Turkey is a disaster. Islam is a disaster. Your father sends you to a civilized country without Islam so you can progress in life. Then you get to the U.S. and you want more of the disaster that you left behind in your home country. Lol.

    You say go to Europe right now, nothing has changed. Shortly after your comment they blow up the airport and the metro in Brussels. This was just months after the Paris attacks. These are just the beginning of these attacks. Millions of Muslims flowing into Europe as part of an orchestrated attack by controlled politicians (prostitutes) with the goal of destroying Europe.

    You need to sit down with Orban and get a reality check. You are blinded by emotion. However, in ten to fifteen years after things escalate and spiral out of control in Europe, you won´t be able to deny reality. Even then, though, I suspect you will be a ´late adapter´ to reality.
