Trump's billion dollar loss in one year is being defended here as a good thing.

[NYcarbineer]

Question to you Trump defenders...

Does that mean that if the opposite had happened, if he had MADE a billion dollars that year,

that would be a bad thing?

which is it?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Trump can shoot people in the street and not lose support of his hateful, moronic fans.

 

[rdean]

Trump's base believes Trump's business skills are what will bring jobs to the country.

He's lost a billions dollars.

He thinks not paying taxes is "smart".

He stiffs his workers.

He stiffs companies that he hires.

He owes hundreds of millions to hostile foreign countries.

He funnels money through his uncertified Charity Foundation to avoid paying taxes.

He has six bankruptcies.

After what Bush and the GOP did to the country, is it any surprise that the Republican base thinks these are signs of a good businessman? Not to me.

Your understanding of the machinations of business is laughable.

Makes him the quintessential capitalist though.

It's not a 'good' thing, it's just a legal thing. If it was legal, it shouldn't even be a story.

Oooh, a business wrote off losses! They never do that, except, yes they do. All the time, and if that loss is large enough it can be carried forward. Again, it is extremely common.

Why? Because it's perfectly legal and ones accountant would have to be beyond incompetent not to take such a common write off as a loss or carry it forward until it was fully written off.

Look at some of the other large corporations out there. See what %, for instance, GE paid over the last decade. Anyone taking jeff immelt to Task? No, in fact he was head of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. That was a joke on more levels than one, considering the amount of offshoring that company was, and is, doing, and their history on taxes, but that's the fact of the matter.

I've said repeatedly that i think it sucks that the laws allow this sort of dodging, but they do. The problem is in washington, not in trump's tax return.

I understand the difference between a plus sign and a minus sign. Do you?

I understand the math:

 

[Toro]

His losses are HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!

 

[Siete]

Trumpbots demand transparency, the only candidate that needs to be transparent is Clinton.

 

[paperview]

It's not a 'good' thing, it's just a legal thing. If it was legal, it shouldn't even be a story.
Oooh, a business wrote off losses!.. .

These are his personal tax forms. Not his corporate tax forms.

Trump funnelling money through an unregistered charity is NOT "perfectly legal".

Stiffing his employees is NOT "perfectly legal".

Stiffing other companies he hired is NOT "perfectly legal".

All the lawsuits against him where he paid out money proves what he is doing is NOT "moral".

Trump U, facing a multi state civil suit for Fraud and Racketeering which could open him to criminal charges may not be "perfectly legal".

You're definition of "perfectly legal" and mine are distinctly different.

Why aren't you as concerned with the trillions that Obama has lost?

 

[Vigilante]

Was anything illegal?,,,Did Trump go by the Democrat tax laws by the book....The leftist scum are just jealous that all together they aren't worth what he lost... Class politics is as bad as race politics!

 

[the_human_being]

The fact that Bill Clinton is a rapist is more pressing than Trump's taxes.

Maybe you didn't notice the use of the word "if" in there, as in if these write offs were legal.

I don't know if they were or weren't, but the amount of the write off has no bearing whatsoever on that question.

 

[Mac1958]

Regressive Lefties don't understand that sometimes businesses lose money, causing their owners to do the same.

How do you communicate with someone like that?

The write offs, according to what I saw, were for failed casinos and airlines. How that then ended up reflected on his personals, I don't know as I haven't seen them, but if it was legal, it was legal. If it wasn't that's another matter entirely.

Whoever said losing a billion was a good thing?

 

[Mac1958]

Actually, this ignorance makes sense, since these folks think that business owners are rich, greedy, evil, and didn't build that.

That must mean that businesses NEVER lose money!!
