Decade in the Red: Trump Tax Figures Show Over $1 Billion in Business Losses

Then please clarify. Bottom line is that Trump owns 500 companies employing 22,000 people. No matter how much you might try to obfuscate that fact, it will remain a fact.

JayJay · 2019-05-14T17:26:24.340Z

No.

Because I’ll do all that work and you’ll just regurgitate pro-Trump talking points back at me.

I’ve done this too many times not to see where that will lead.

In fact, in this very post you already pre-rejected any answer I might give.

Just as someone immersed in pro-Trump talking points would…

We all saw Trump go through this and he’s talks about his tough times. Nothing burgers still being served on the left daily…

They have no policy, so what else can they do…

Not sure where you are headed or what your agenda might be (other than simple hatred of Trump), but the fact remains. Trump owns 500 companies employing 22,000 people.

That it is a puny number of employees. By the way does the 22,000 include undocumented workers?

peek-a-boo · 2019-05-14T17:51:56.790Z

I’m still confused??? Who said anything about 22,000 being a big or a small number? This isn’t a contest of who has the most employees. It is a simple observation that Trump owns 500 companies employing 22,000 people. That is in stark contrast to Trump haters claiming that Trump owns nothing of substance. The numbers don’t lie.

JayJay · 2019-05-14T18:17:15.072Z

My agenda is to continually expose you and your right wing talking points of course.

I bet trump is adding up all the people who work at any place of business that he is affiliated with. The people that work at hotels that he doesn’t own are not his employees.

He doesn’t have 22,000 employees. We don’t know how many of those 500 LLC’s are operating companies. You can open an LLC and put a lemonade stand in it.

So what is it you’ve exposed exactly? Do you dispute that Trump owns 500 companies employing 22,000 people?

He does not.

So Fortune is lying???

Fortune

The Trump Organization Is Now Among the Top 50 U.S. Private Companies

The news will deepen current unease about the potential for conflicts of interest.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve always been an issues voter.

As an issues voter it comes down to the one who most closely matches my ideology. In 2000 and 2004 that was Bush. In 2008 that was McCain. In 2012 that was Romney. In 2016 that was Trump.

In regards to the issues, I would be more than happy to debate them with you in another thread.

Turn Tail and Run. Good Strategy!

You can open an LLC and do nothing but get a piece of paper saying its yours.

No doubt! Mar Lago employees are all his?

He has 500 LLC’s which does not automatically translate into 500 businesses. Given his terrible financial acumen, it makes sense for him to try to cordon off the liabilities by forming LLC’s for every project.

It’s the smart way of doing things. Example, when I first got into Radio in the 1990’s. Companies would hold dozen’s of radio station in a single corporation. Now, it’s like trump. Each radio station (or station combo) is a seperate corporation (or in trump’s case llc) that is held by the parent company.

The fact that info is not public does not mean “it doesn’t need to be disclosed.” If he owes the Russians, we need to know.

Why? Is it against the law for one of his companies to have “russian money” that needs to be paid back and he isn’t personally liable for (under current law wouldn’t need to be on his disclosure sheet)?

Unbelievable.

Closer to Shocking!

Snow96 · 2019-05-14T19:15:12.682Z

So the hotel in DC employs no one? Or his hotel/office/apartments in New York employs no one?
Nor any of his other golf courses?

Plasmaball · 2019-05-14T19:24:19.665Z

Mostly illegals

Or maybe just common courtesy to start a new thread for of topic discussions.
