of donald fraud's billion in "losses",
how much of that was him spending it on himself, his payoffs, etc.?
he's the kind of person who writes off all personal expenditures as a business expense....
i had dinner in a restaurant? i mentioned the stock market once, so, hey, business expense.
bought another mansion? i make business calls from there, so, hey, business expense. or investment. either way.
you get the idea....
granted a billion is a ton of money, i'm not suggesting that he actually had a profit. i'm merely suggesting that he's not just a bad businessman, he's also a slime and a crook.

banks seemed to have figure him out and stopped doing business with him, all except deutsche bank, and we can guess as to some criminal angle there.
did he cheat on his taxes? probably, but the recent revelation doesn't prove it, at least not yet. even on du, most people seem to accept that the stated losses are real -- embarrassing rather than criminal.
that pretty much leaves the media angle, which i'd agree is massively frustrating. he was clearly a horrendous businessman at best. it goes to show how someone can keep a decent media image if they're willing to spend enough on it, and donald fraud clearly spent a ton of time and effort and money on it. well, not sure about money, but certainly time and effort....
becoming the host of a game show was certainly a huge boon to his image. donald fraud realized that by pivoting from businessman to tv personality, he'd get a different kind of celebrity that does seem to wipe out the past. hey, he's a famous tv guy, who cares about what he did before?
