2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTrump a Genius?
Or, like many disputes his companies are currently involved in, did he illegally deflate the value of his properties and/or exaggerate his business losses in order to create an overall larger loss for tax avoidance purposes? That is the kind of thing full tax returns would show. Also, I wonder what all the small businesses owners who were left holding the bag from Trump's multi-hundred-million-dollar business "losses," most of whom were in no position to take a Trump-like advantage of such a loss, feel about the "genius" comments?

He does have talent in his singleminded desire to prove he's better than he actually believes he is.

His tax lawyers and accountants are.
