‘I’m the king of debt’

Posted by | June 23, 2016 08:31 | Filed under: Economy News Behaving Badly Politics


Donald Trump thinks he’s bragging.

Trump said in an interview with CBS Wednesday, “I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me. I’ve made a fortune by using debt, and if things don’t work out I renegotiate the debt. I mean, that’s a smart thing, not a stupid thing.” Asked how he renegotiated debt, Trump replied, “You go back and you say, hey guess what, the economy crashed. I’m going to give you back half.” Hillary Clinton accused Trump of gambling with the full faith and credit of the United States by flirting with a default on the debt.

    not self funding……last week I got 2 emails from Trump…..the first said he needed to raise $100,000 by midnight and the next day one came saying he needed 1 million dollars…..isn’t that what one doesn’t do if they are self-funding?

    And this week he said he was happy to continue to self-fund…..so Trump supporters can put their money away and at least get out of this with something left over.

    So far the only things he hasn’t flip flopped on outright are the things he can’t do to begin with….like build that wall.

      And people still send him money, I couldn’t think of a worse con if I tried.

        not many though because in the scheme of things he has little to show for it. I think it might change a bit after their convention if they can’t figure out how to dump Trump.

        This week I met a couple who were republicans from Ill. and they left the party over climate change…..but said they would have done so over Trump had it not been climate change. The couple are retired, travel all over the country and into Canada and they see how things have changed over their lifetime. They said they just couldn’t pretend not to see what is in front of their lives.

          I just seen this, for some reason I see this account sometimes. I have two different accounts with the same name and two different avatars so it is the roll of the dice which one comes up when I sign in lol. I am glad the couple realized what is happening to our world due to human greed and gluttony. Many people rather turn a blind eye than realize what is going on.

    King of debt and Queen of stupidity.

    Here’s how he handles debt: he saddles the company with millions in debt, lets the stock price tank while still drawing a huge salary and bonuses, then declares bankruptcy and walks away Scot free, leaving his investors and shareholders with worthless stock. You can’t run a country that way.
