WNU Editor: President Trump's business difficulties 20 - 30 years ago are well known, including being in debt to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. So why is this a big story now? You tell me. On a side note, there is a remark that he made during this time that I have always remembered. When he started to recover in the 1990s he remarked that when everything was going well, everyone wanted to be with him. But when everything collapsed and he started to ask these same people for help, only two out of a few hundred answered his call. He never mentioned who those two individuals are, but I suspect that if they are still alive today, they would be his most trusted friends.

Shock. Horror. The president lost money then recovered.

He just won 2020.

BTW he also funded his campaign gjving back much of his tax breaks.

WNU, exactly. It is well known.

There are even documentaries on Netflix about all of it. But that's the media.. cooking up shit as if it were to mean -anything-. From a business perspective, I find it admirable that he managed to get out of this. But in the new America, risk takers (especially if they are male and white) are the devil.
