If personal business acumen carries over to government service... well, he's declared bankruptcy like 10 times.whitestazn88 wrote:Trump would be the most fiscally sensible president in a long time. I saw him on Wolf Shitzer a while back and he was making some decent points regarding the economy as well as things like mountain top removal and moving towards cleaner energy. And while every candidate bullshits about what they would change simply to curry favor, I wouldn't be surprised if he fixed the economy. I mean... he proposed bringing back tariffs, which is a bit ridiculous, but it definitely makes sense. Even like 2 cents on the dollar for every Chinese import would save us billions of dollars a year.

So, it's 4 times that he's filed for bankruptcy protection. I wouldn't be surprised if his business plan has included filing for bankruptcy as a personnel fail safe for his risky high interest business loans.For legendary tycoons, Donald Trump tops the list, but how many times has Donald Trump filed for bankruptcy? The 90’s recession wasn’t picky about who it affected. Donald Trump felt the pinch as well. His decision to use high interest bonds to finance the assembly of the Taj Mahal casino caused life to get very stressful for the tycoon.
In 1991, unable to pay a $3.5 billion loan, he declared business bankruptcy. He also came close to filing personal ruin. At the time, his personal debt was estimated to be around $900 million. Due to the bankruptcy, banks and bondholders lost millions. They came to a compromise with Donald Trump. The banks gave him lower interest rates and a longer time frame to repay the debt and Donald Trump gave the investors half the ownership of the Taj Mahal. In mere months the casino was back in business.
Not even a year later, Trump Plaza Hotel folded and Donald had to declare bankruptcy. Again, he worked out a deal where he’d give up 49 percent of the hotel to Citibank and the other lenders and he’d get more time to pay the loan back. It took him two years to repay most of his debt with many sacrifices. He had to give up the Trump Shuttle.
The bankruptcy saga didn’t stop there. In 2004, Donald filed for bankruptcy protection and restructured his debt. He reduced his ownership of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts to 27 percent and gave bondholders stocks to help lower his debt and then stepped down as CEO. In 2005, things settled down and Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts came out of bankruptcy with a new name, Trump Entertainment Resort Holdings.
Unfortunately the reemergence didn’t last long. On February 17th 2009, Donald Trump filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a debt ratio of $50 million in assets to his $500 million in debt. This filing made the third bankruptcy for Trump Enterprises.
Maybe he's right and that each of those were the worst presidents until the next one came along.... I wouldn't support him in the primary but would more than likely support him in the general if he won the GOP nomination. Better than what we have now.beezer wrote:I think Trump has said that Carter, Bush #43, and Obama were all the worst presidents ever in U.S. history. The guy is an opportunist and I'd never support him. How many times has he declared bankruptcy?

If you listen to what he says in the video that creepers posted, it's easy to see that he's full of sh*t. I hate it when politicians make statements and don't even try to back those statements up with any facts whatsoever.patrickaa317 wrote:I wouldn't support him in the primary but would more than likely support him in the general if he won the GOP nomination.

How could anyone in the history of this thread possibly know that?beezer wrote:How many times has he declared bankruptcy?
Are you asking about their strength? What i was saying was that Carter was the worst president in American history until Bush, at which time he took the reigns on that title up until the time that Obama had made enough poor decisions in order to screw things up bad enough where he obtained the title of worst president ever.Juan_Bottom wrote:Like, how tough?patrickaa317 wrote: Maybe he's right and that each of those were the worst presidents until the next one came along....

Ah, the "Anyone who is capable of becoming President should never be allowed to hold the job." position.AAFitz wrote: He cant possibly be stupid enough to actually want the job. If he is, we definitely should not elect him.
so if I was an american, I would vote for him over a lot of other people 
There's no way that Obama is the worst president in history. It would be along hard road for anyone to take that title from George W. Bush. He will always be remembered as the worst president. Obama couldn't even make top 5..... top 10 even. There's a whole string of presidents that no one remembers because of their weakness and corruption.patrickaa317 wrote:What i was saying was that Carter was the worst president in American history until Bush, at which time he took the reigns on that title up until the time that Obama had made enough poor decisions in order to screw things up bad enough where he obtained the title of worst president ever.
Lincoln was a very very strong president. He got himself into serious trouble by trusting McClellan for a second time... but he was still a terrific president and clever politician. Can you name the presidents who were elected before and after him? If you can then you know how terrible they were. Lincoln was one of the few leaders of the day who came to get any work done.Mr_Adams wrote: Also, he keeps saying "I wish he were the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln". What is that about? I'm sorry, but Lincoln was a 1 trick pony. He wasn't that great a president, and he violated the constitution (even though I agree with his moral basis for doing so). He was a man who was in the right place at the right time and knew how to make a speech. that's pretty much all.
Not saying he wasn't a good president, just that there have been better presidents since. Not all of them, but some, which makes Trumps analogy... not make sense to me.Juan_Bottom wrote: Lincoln was a very very strong president.

Furthermore, he was the Jesus president. He was the only Federal who wanted to completely forgive the South without punishment. If not for him, the war could have started all over again. Like what happened with WWII.... but he forgave Lee and he forgave the South. Thus enabling Lee and the South to forgive the North.
All in all, great president, & great American Hero.
