[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Trump does it again! (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 12/24/2006 10:45:25 AM EDT
That's twice in one week he's done something to earn respect from me. I still think he is a pompous blowhard possesing dubious business acumen, but this is alright.  
|
 ....BTW, I suspect Trump's net worth is greater than everyone, combined, who will post in this thread. How can you question his "business acumen"? 
|
If you had any idea of his past financial disasters you might question it yourself. The information is all out there, go look it up. Rosie may be a worthless twat but she did have a valid point about his past bankruptcies. |
How's your personal balance sheet compare? Maybe Rosie's compares favorably to his, so she may have some room to criticize. Then again maybe hers doesn't and she's just jealous that he can declare bankruptcy and STILL have more money than her. Maybe she should consider that she's a big fat dyke with questionable levels of remaining talent currency. Also, bankruptcy has been used as a tool of ruthless businessmen for some time now. |
|
I don't believe that Donald J. Trump has ever personally declared bankruptcy. His corporations and holdings certainly have. The statement that Rosie made implied that Donald himself has been bankrupt. Donald sounds like he's going to earn a few bucks at her expense for being slandered. A fool and her money shall be soon parted. 
|
Exactly. Also in most of Trumps businesses he is only part of the operation and has other partners. Just because a business venture fails doesn't mean it was 100% Trumps fault. Trump has never personally declared bankruptcy. Trump mainly uses his name and high level of quality in the business ventures. Rosie in her attempt to bad mouth Trump and damage him falsely claimed he personally filed for bankruptcy. Personal bankrupty and high level of quality don't go together, so her remarks completely slandard his personal reputuation which is the main driving force behand the Trump brand. She is so screwed if he actually does file suit. |
Trump himself never went bankrupt. That's where Rosie O'dognut went wrong. Now some of his enterprises or holdings have declared bankruptcy, but that's not the same. |
|
First of all, Donald Trump is a complete DICK. His recent verbal battle with Rosie is like watching two retarded kids fight over a cookie. As neither one of them has a clue to the real world. It doesnt take alot of research to find skeletons in his past, especially when it comes to his business dealings. He is a liar, cheat and completely untrustworthy, even to members of his own family. And although his lawsuit pertaining to the flag issue seems admirable, I can assure that his motives are purely self serving no matter what he and his lawyers say. Anyone who worships or admires "The Don", needs to do a little bit of research. As he is total scum. |
|
He did the same thing here in Kali. He ownes a golf coruse -Ocean Trails- and planted a 70' pole with a huge flag 15x larger that what was allowed by zoneing.. After a fight, they let him keep it!!!! It was only the city that was bitching, the resadents loved it!!!! +1 for the Donald |
If instead you bothered to look up the truth instead of letting Rosie O'Donnel lead you around by your nose, then you'd know that you're wrong......thanks for trying though. |
Maybe you can enlighten us bigcraig. |

Well for working for Trump for the past 3 years at one of his local casinos in Atlantic City, he has now done something to earn my respect. I hope he wins and shares his earning with fellow employees but I doubt that will happen, mater of fact I know that wont happen. From, Joe.... |
You know, normally I would go ahead and cite the info behind my comments. But in this case I will not. As it is real easy to do the research yourself and make your own conclusions, as I have. I encourage anyone, who thinks Donald Trump is a honest and upstanding citizen, just do some research, as you will be enlightened as I was. I used to think he was a gifted businessman, until my family financial planner made some comments during our annual get-together. I was stunned and was compelled to do my own research, although I was limited with just using the interweb, I found enough info to completely change my impression of him. Trust me, the dirt on the DON is out there, and it is less than stellar. |
Who here said he was "a honest and upstanding citizen"? I didn't. All I said was that I thought he was an OK guy. I'm sure he is tough and ruthless. So? You have to be to make that much money. I'd still rather have a sitdown dinner conversation with him than that liberal lesbian. But hey, YOU can have dinner with whoever you like. |
Look, I am not trying to start an arguement. I am just stating a fact, that the man is an asshole. |
Facts or STFU! |
You know whats really interesting? You have worked for him for three years now. Apparently he is providing you with the best employment that YOU are able to get with the abilities that you have. Yet you disparage the guy that is giving you your best opportunity. Should he take his entire net worth and divide it up amonst his ungrateful employees? |
So..., as long as someone employs you, they are infallible??  That is as simple minded a statement as they come. You can see what a snake he is just by watching him talk. |
Help me out here big guy, where did I say anything like what you just said. |
Many people/businesses use declaration of bankruptcy as a way to get out of paying on lawsuits, etc. Dont' quite know the logistics of it all, but if there is one ruthless businessman out there, it's Trump. Of course he's an asshole, he's rich. He didn't get/stay rich by being nice. And I hope he destroys Rosie. |
You got nothing! Calling me numb nuts won't make any difference. |
There you go again! Who here has said they "idolize" Trump? You seem like a typical liberal, adding/changing words to someones statement to fit your interpretation. Either that or your a female.

That is not the best employment that I’m able to get! I work there because I was asked to, plus it pays for school and other expenses. He treats his employees like crap! We used to get paid double time for working the holiday now all we get is a $25.00 gift card to either Best Buy or Wal-Mart. He pays outside contracts millions of dollars to come in and try to renovate the property but that and that alone will not bring the people in. They need to offer them a lot more then a nice property. The Borgota and Tropicana are number 1 in the city due to they have so much more to offer the patrons, free rooms, dinners, and trips. He goes on talk shows and gives away million year or a million there that’s just for publicity. From, Joe…. |
What I meant was that just because he is paying him he could still be a piece of shit as far as a moral figure. You are defending his character. Do you understand that? Keep this and the flag issue separate. I fully support that and his regular appearances on the Fox news channel. Overall, he is more good than bad, but let's call a spade a spade. |

One example Clicky Give me a little more time, as I lost the other links. I do apologize for the numb nut remark, as I am stunned you folks like the Donald so much. eta- Another little tidbit about his "companies" bankruptcy issues, although I do realize that alot of companies utilize the protection of bankrupcy laws, but this is ridiculous. I guess there is a fine line between being a businessman or a con-man. en.wikipedia.org - Bankruptcy - By 1990, the effects of recession left him unable to meet loan payments. Although he shored up his businesses with additional loans and postponed interest payments, increasing debt brought Trump to business bankruptcy and the brink of personal bankruptcy. Banks and bond holders had lost hundreds of millions of dollars, but opted to restructure his debt to avoid risking losing even more in a court fight. Things were so bleak for Trump at this time that in the August 21, 1990 edition of the Jersey Record, columnist Mike Kelly wrote "If we still had debtors' prisons, Trump would be in the dungeon." Kelly added that "Donald Trump is a Third World Nation." Also in 1990, he co-produced the game show Trump Card in syndication. By 1994, Trump had eliminated a large portion of his $900 million personal debt and reduced significantly his nearly $3.5 billion in business debt. While he was forced to relinquish the Trump Shuttle (which he had bought in 1989), he managed to retain Trump Tower in New York City and control of his three casinos in Atlantic City. Chase Manhattan Bank, (which lent Trump the money he needed to buy the West Side yards, his biggest Manhattan parcel) forced a sale of the parcel to Asian developers. |
Please read what I wrote. Where did I say or even imply Trump was infallible? Now you are saying that I am defending his character. Where did I do that? Let me restate the point that apparently was to obscure for some of you to understand: I am sick of people who belittle their employers yet are unable or maybe just to lazy to get a better job. People who are able to get better jobs do. People who don't - can't get a better job. The people who bad mouth their employers typically like to blame someone else for their pathetic existance. If you can't get a job someplace else whereby you will be paid more or treated better, why is that your current employers fault or justification for belittling him or her? |
