Bankruptcy is not what it’s all trumped up to be.

…Poor old Donald Trump.

Desperate to be taken seriously, but never, ever, looking anything less than a gold plated chump…

…Even on Fox News.

Trump after publicity?  Nooooo!

Trump’s Book:  Embracing Your Inner Narcissism?

The line between book touring, debate moderating and running for president has been forever blurred by the Republican party.

Everything the comb over does is for publicity. Trump does not care about the GOP  all he cares about is his bank account.  If you think that Trump gives a crap about this country your a fool.

Cavuto: “Are you using this debate to market your book?”
Trump: “Of course not, but my book is doing very well. It has been one of the hardest ones to write … {keeps promoting book}”

I mean, c’mon! :-)

Must suck to be a republican.

Trump is a windbag and full of hot air… all that fuss and
guffaw will drop like his blood pressure after a double-tap shotgun blast to
the head.  Watch him get his and see if
that hair is even real when the guns come out on the Zombie Walk of Fame at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/10/07-countdown-to-halloween-donald-trump.html

Actually Trump has filed for bankruptcies four times,in 1991, 1992, 2004 and 2009:

Trump’s first visit to bankruptcy court was in 1991, when his Atlantic City casino, the Taj Mahal, was buried under a mountain of debt. The Taj carried a $1 billion price tag and was financed by junk bonds carrying a staggering 14 percent interest rate. As construction completed, the economy slumped, as did the Atlantic City gambling scene, soon plunging Trump into $3.4 billion of debt.

The Donald struck a deal with the banks to hand over half his ownership, and half of the equity, in the casino in exchange for a lower interest rate and more time to pay off his debt. He sold off his beloved Trump Princess yacht and the Trump Shuttle airplane to make his payments, and his creditors put him on a budget, putting a cap on his personal spending.

Just one year after the Taj Mahal deal was struck. Trump was back in court, again “restructuring” his debt. This time the Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City was in the lenders’ crosshairs. Trump owed $550 million on the hotel and agreed to give up 49 percent of the hotel to Citibank and five other lenders. In return, Donald Trump was given a similar deal as before, with more lenient conditions to repay the debt.

In 2004 Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts Inc. filed for voluntary bankruptcy after accumulating $1.8 billion in debt. Trump agreed to reduce his share in the company from 47 percent to 25 percent meaning he no longer had control over the company. The deal also included lower interest rates and a $500 million loan to make improvements.

In 2008 Trump Entertainment and his affiliated companies had $2.06 billion in assets and was $1.74 billion in debt. In December 2008 his company missed a $53.1 million bond interest payment, propelling Trump Entertainment Resorts into bankruptcy court and plunging its stock price from $4 per share to a mere 23 cents.

This time, Trump fought with his board of directors over the restructuring and ended up resigning as chairman of the board. He emerged from a messy, months-long process with a 10 percent share of the company.

You are so right…

…What a pathetic situation.

Follow-up: Is this breathing in of Oxygen just an attempt to breathe out CO2 and help plants to grow?

Shouldn’t this guy be swallowing swords or biting the heads off chickens?

Trump is a first-class huckster. He’s, of course, very good at it. But sometimes the seams show.
He answers Neil’s question about hawking his book by…wait for it…hawking his book.

“I’ve had the number one selling business book…as you know, The Art of the Deal was the number one
selling business book of all time. I’ve had twelve bestsellers. This
is, frankly, a book that I’m very proud of. It’s actually a book I’ve
probably worked the hardest on.”

Neil’s question…not answered.
Trump’s book…shamelessly promoted.
Trump’s fans…too stupid to know the difference.

Trump is anti free tradeObama and every republican is pro free trade.We need an economy/jobs debate with questions that challenge orthodox economic dogma which has obviously failed……..­….The U.S.-China trade deficit has eliminated nearly 2.8 million U.S. jobs since 2001, a new Economic Policy Institute (EPI) briefing paper finds. Growing U.S. trade deficit with China cost 2.8 million jobs between 2001 and 2010 by Robert Scott, EPI’s Director of Trade and Manufactur­ing Policy Research, finds that all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico suffered jobs lost or displaced as a result of the growing U.S.-China trade deficit.The trade deficit with China grew from $84 billion in 2001, when China entered the WTO, to $278 billion in 2010. It eliminated or displaced 2,790,100 jobs, or about 2% of total U.S. employment over that period.DEFICIT TO DATE 2011: 544.15 billion with China 217 billion. http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c0015.html Trump is the only one asking the heterodox economic policy questions.  Like him or not you have to respect the question on trade, it is a serious issue and the data backs him up.Perhaps his intentions are not ALL publicity.

If there is one thing trump knows how to do, it is how to spot a sucker and convince them to give him their money for a useless, product, service, or investment.

He hit jackpot with the angry racist teabaggers.

Marcus Bachmann, “where do I sign up?”

“neil cavuto asks donald trump if all this is just to get publicity for your book”

Spoiler alert: it is. 

NC: Are you trying to get media attention to sell your book?

DT: Well, you know, it’s a bestseller, and it’s also the biggest bestseller of all time. It’s sold a lot. It’s an amazing book and it’s only $19.99 if you go to my site now, Donaldbook.com. Buy it. Go head. Get it for a loved one, maybe a special friend. Look, I’m not hawking the book like I need the money. I just love people buying it. It’s been a huge bestseller and people should buy it, and buy it now because it has some amazing advice and it’s a roller coaster thrill ride like no other. It will get you laid, it will make you rich, it will do anything but cure the disease that has ruined Stonepark3′s family. Yes, I’m talking about syphilis. But buy it and see for yourself. It’s truly a bestseller. Did I answer your question, Neil?

It’s pretty pathetic that anyone would want to read their ghostwritten b.s. anyway. 

Bet the Donald had a stiffy the whole time.  What a tool.

It is my impression that he always hides behind the fact that he has not declared personal bankruptcy.

I would rather buy a Donald Duck book than one by Donald Trump.
