Donald Trump and the art of losing money

[ffr]

The New York Times on Saturday published three pages of what it claimed were three of Trump's 1995 state tax returns, which showed he reported a $916 million loss that year.

CNNMoney in August published an analysis of 10 years of Trump corporate documents. The investigation showed that Trump's company, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, lost money every year from 1995 until it went bankrupt in 2004 -- more than $600 million in total losses.

The company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DJT. An investor who put $100 in DJT in 1995 would have lost 90% of that money by 2000, and been left with just $8.72.

Along the way, DJT paid Trump $39 million in salary, bonuses, options and other compensation.

Combined with the Times revelation, they run counter to the central claim of Trump's campaign -- that as a successful businessman, he would use his financial acumen as president. - News4jax.com

A successful businessman? What a class act!

2. He was successful.

DJT personally made over $39 million on the deal. So what if he screwed everybody else....
