Dear Joan, I trust you only meant well when you asked your question about bankruptcy... Let's see... in his lifetime so far, Donald has created and operated 674 businesses... he used the existing bankruptcy laws to restructure those businesses only 4 times... so, 4 out of 674 means a bankruptcy restructuring rate of .00593% which is so extremely LOW that it almost isn't there at all... do you have clue how truly and incredibly low that is??? Are you in business??? Have you ever owned and run a business??? Any business??? Do you have any clue what the typical and average rate of bankruptcy is for those who have attempted many businesses??? I'm sure you have no clue... not .00593%, try closer to 60.00% complete and total bankruptcies... and those 4 bankruptcies of Donald's were not the total collapse of the business itself as in most all bankruptcies, he used only components of the law to restructure still ongoing businesses that continued on successfully after restructuring... Listen Joan, if you want to libel someone in a public forum, then I strongly advise you get your facts straight and not leave yourself open to risk of legal retaliation... Good ol' Babe Ruth... remember his name??? When he held the record for the most home runs, he also held the record for the most strike outs... but where is that ever mentioned and where is that ever important??? Some people focus on success, others like yourself focus on failure... this clearly explains your preoccupation with failure... Lift your chin up and lift up your eyes, think big, think positive, think great!!! GZ

"How is Trump going to do what he wants with out filing bankruptcy" The Trump Empire was not created from bankruptcy. If it was that easy to be a billionaire developer, author and Statesman then you could do it--right? Obama could do it--right? One of those mental midgets setting cars on fire and breaking windows while bastardising the actual words Trump says...any of those mental midgets could become successful--right? But most failures cannot even start a business. You may be the exception. So go ahead and start a business and then file for bankruptcy. See how it improves your life. This experiment just might give you a heads-up or a heads-out...if you get my drift. "The problems Obama has been dealing with have not gone away." You intended to say 'the problems Obama has created have not gone away'. It is so easy to make errors of grammar on message boards. This is not a criticism...

The problems Obama has been dealing with have not gone away By my lights, the problems Obama inherited were iterations of his cultursmog, expressed and codified earlier by lowlifes of similar persuasion over decades. He pretty much continued to make everything worse. Any salvation will only come from a return to the principles of what liberalism once meant; the structures endorsed by Hayek and von Mises and Friedman and their predecessors. Any restoration would be slow and painful. In the short term, a century or two, things ain't looking good.
