Default Mr Bankruptcy- Trump's Easter Swipe at 'Businessmen' Backfires

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/comp...148d62460&ei=7


Donald Trump on Sunday took a swipe at businessmen who criticize his signature policy, and observers immediately pounced on the purported irony.

Trump over the weekend posted the following statement on Truth Social: "THE BUSINESSMEN WHO CRITICIZE TARIFFS ARE BAD AT BUSINESS, BUT REALLY BAD AT POLITICS. "THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND OR REALIZE THAT I AM THE GREATEST FRIEND THAT AMERICAN CAPITALISM HAS EVER HAD!" "


Gizmodo tech reporter Matt Novak posted a screenshot of Trump's quote and added, "I can't emphasize enough that all of these posts from Trump are real. He's such a f------ idiot."

Actor and producer Jon Cryer responded to Novak's quoting of Trump's new attack on businessmen who he says are bad at business, writing, "BUT I, THE GUY WITH ALL THOSE BANKRUPTCIES AND FRAUD CONVICTIONS, AM REALLY GOOD AT IT."

Republicans against Trump also chimed in, saying, "Ah yes, Mr. Six-Time Bankruptcy is here to lecture actual businesspeople—who correctly understand that tariffs will crush their businesses and raise prices for consumers—that they are the ones bad at business."

HuffPost reporter Yashar Ali also replied:
"So, President Trump is saying that Elon Musk, his brother Kimbal Musk, Jamie Dimon, and Bill Ackman are bad at business?"


Best part is we're only 3 months into this shit show.

And the left never talk about Obama refusing to return his advance for his first failure to write it.

Just like when Trump 'harvests' tax losses (perfectly legitimate) morons don't understand bankruptcy, the various types and their purposes...Chapters 7, 11 and 13 for instance...viable options for resolving debt or restructuring.

Should we talk about Obama-backed solar companies now ?

Funny how all the experts who have never owned even one business equate bankrupting a business to failure. Truth is, the average Millionaire starts, builds and bankrupts FIVE businesses before they earn their first million dollars. To reach a Billion, you build and destroy more. But all those economics experts teaching on somebody else's dime scream, "Failure!!!".

Whatever.

TRUMP has never filed personal bankruptcy.

The total filings were four, not six, as three were filed together.

The country was in a recession in 1990 and 1991, tourism and AC were hard hit.

AC is a shithole, no casino, or business does well.

Filings were Chapter 11, the creditors got much MOAR than if he shut it all down.

TRUMP's investors that made money is at least 10:1 vs. those who lost.

In hindsight, he should stayed out of AC:

Exactly, he can't be smarter than some economist bringing in almost 150k a year!
