"... if you want to know the truth." - Trump
When I want to know the truth I won't be asking you.

He had 3 casinos in Atlantic City at the same time. They cannibalized each other & went bankrupt. (Great businessman)

[jwd]

LOL, from 8 million to 1.2 billion, just because he thinks it's worth that much... That's NOT how it works!! What a clown.

"I could've pushed the button. It's a beautiful button. I could've pushedit. I didn't. I averted a nuclear war by not pushing that button."

He also works as the Ester Bunny and won an Olympic gold medal.

Most important job in the world was golfing on our dime for profit every weekend apparently.

[michaelaghmalone-hansen]

The golf course in Scotland is worthless! It's losing more money than it takes and is HATED by everyone in Scotland, he couldn't sell it!

Turnberry, as Orange Donnie should know, is no longer on the rotation for The Open championship. In addition there are more than 7 courses on the rota and that doesn’t include Turnberry. So whatever value Donnie imagines out of his fertile imagination is clearly wrong based on his contention it is on The Open rota.

Watching Trump is like watching your crazy uncle play with himself in public....

How can he keep a straight face and say he bought Mar-A -Lago for 8 million and it is now worth 1.5 billion. He bought it 39 years ago. So it has gone up 187 times it value in that time. Seriously. It sits on 17 acres, Buckingham Palace sits on 40 acres. It was 126-rooms with 62, 500 sq ft, Buckingham Palace 775 rooms and 828, 821 square feet. One is on the beach near a town and the other in the middle of London and he dared to say last year his place was worth the same. He is just insanely disillusion.

He rambled for five minutes about how great his properties are without actually answering the question: "Did you have any input in the running of the company while you were in the White House?"

He knew this clip eventually would make it to the news/ internet. So he could get a commercial for free.

[jrrarglblarg]

His stream of consciousness needs a spigot.

[ricklane]

He is SO brilliant that Scotland just TOOK his wonderful Golf course Turnberry due to his major fuckery ! LOL

[elijahheyes]

Lol....He wanted to nuke hurricanes 🚀🌪💨 Milley fought hard to stop him attacking Iran. The guy is nuts.

[johnnybarnes]

This guy just likes to talk. He never makes any sense

[tonydeltablues]

His properties are 'Renoirs'....that's his Impression....

[bernardwylie]

“You know, these are things that have a tremendous value… To rich people” 😂 😂 😂 “The Mona Lisa of Properties”

[garrystokes]

1000x the value.This guy has lost it.If his father did not leave him money he would be living on the street

Original question: “Were there things (business dealings) that came to your attention during your presidency that you recall?”
