They dont like two things u did ... 1. Ask for actual details ... they live on the broad sweeping statements ... not fans of details ... 2. Asked questions ... their immune to them ... Saul would be proud of them they are all great students of his ... I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting on a response ...

Trump 'might' release returns 'when I'm out of office'
"might release them after I'm out of office."
This is the equivalent of a high school crush saying she might go out with you if you stop calling. What a joke.

NO WHERE did i say i was impressed with his wealth ... i said hes a good (actually GREAT) businessman if he’s worth 3 - 10 billion ..... i also defended his work ethic and admitted he has conned lots of people along the way ... i didnt even say he was an ETHICAL businessman much less that i admired his wealth .... You called him "one hell of a negotiator" (he's awful at it, which is why he's always been suckered into overpaying for all of his properties and ends up underwater) and said that he had "great business acumen" (which, as has been detailed at length, he isn't - he's a trust fund kid who took a pile of money and burned it) You did indeed admit that he's unethical. The "great work ethic" thing is new and utterly laughable. Are you kidding me? Trump has to be one of the laziest people on the planet. He's been president, what, over a year now? And he still hasn't bothered to learn any aspect of his job? He watches FOX and screams at the TV until 11 am every morning, and if he's extras fussy about people on the TV being mean to him, his aides whisk him to the golf course. Work ethic? Are you kidding me?

I love how even after seeing the specific details of how banks basically forced Trump to stop reaching agreements and sign his company over to a bank trust because he was so hilariously bad at trying to pretend to be a real estate executive, they still have to force themselves to swallow the fiction that he's some kind of sharp business mind, because without that, all that's left is cranky racism.

Ya .... attacking a man who turned 1 or 2 million into at least 3 or 4 billion on his business acumen is an absolute BRILLIANT MOVE and would have made Hillary much smarter ...
That wouldn’t have opened a really bad can of worms for Hillary ... not at all ... ..
And u guys wonder why u lost ... that idea sounds like it came right from her campaign ... u know the ones that didnt think going to Wisconsin was a good idea ... oh wait, that was RUSSIA ... ... If it was that easy there’d be a lot more billionaires ... wink
Trump made his money by working his ass off (same way he won the election ... he had as many campaign rallies on the last day as your girl did in the last month ... rofl ... ) ... he worked his ass off and had way more successes than failures ... he is and was a master ass marketer ... he created a brand ... u know how hard that is to do ... dumb ass question Diam, obviously u have no idea how hard it is ... *L* ...
If u really think that would have been a good idea ... may god or whoever it is your higher power is bless u ...
U also need to get a better grasp on the opening “a can of worms” concept ... thumbsup I read your posts above and you seemed impressed by Trumps wealth.
I guess you are claiming that you are not impressed with Trumps wealth....OK, if you say so.
As long as Trump earned his billions legally, more power to him.
How Trump won the election...working his ass off???
That issue is being investigated and we will need to wait for the results. I do understand that some do not want to hear the results, but if Trump did nothing wrong or illegal...he is in the clear.
The investigation needs to continue until done so Trump can prove to America that his victory was legit.
BTW, Obama did show his birth certificate...the least Trump can do is show his tax returns...I'm sure you agree.

He had to file his financials in order to run ... their public record ... he said hes worth10 billion .. ive seen others say as low as 3.5 .. thats why i say 3 - 10 ... The fact the press has not trashed him for this tells me hes worth one hell of a lot of money ...

Appearantly taking things in context isn’t one of your strengths ... showing my posts alone doesn’t put them in any sort ot context ... but then if u did that you’d prove yourself wrong and we cant have that now can we mac ...  .... Was O under some kind of college transcript audit and his lawyers advised against him showing them? ... *LOL* .... thats Willies bone not mine .... Guess your like swish .... u would ignore your lawyers advice about what u should and shouldn’t do .. thats not a strategy I agree with .... once again mac, to each there own ...

Work ethic? Are you kidding me? Someone is now desperate to salvage some semblance of a point by speculating on things he actually has no clue about (and no way of "knowing") while hiding from the few facts that are known and can be verified.

Someone is now desperate to salvage some semblance of a point by speculating on things he actually has no clue about (and no way of "knowing") while hiding from the few facts that are known and can be verified. Huh? There absolutely is a way of knowing. It's recorded in a daily log, down to the minute. The White House has taken to calling it "executive time", and it's the 7-11 a.m. window every day where Trump sits in his bedroom watching "Fox & Friends" while screaming on Twitter about how people are being unfair to him. There are also numerous logs and corroborated reporting showing that when Trump gets especially fussy and angry at the TV, his aides will whisk him away for an unplanned golf trip to keep him from embarrassing himself with angry tweets. Also, I laughed at "salvaging some semblance of a point". My entire point in this thread was that Trump is a trust fund moron and was terrible at trying to act like a businessman. I've more than proven my point. You're the one who wilted from "at least Trump had a real job" to "OK, maybe he never had a real job, but he signed people's paychecks".

Remember ... they hate questions ... especially ones with details in them .... there avoided like the plague ...

Here comes the guy who went from "you gotta hand it to him, Trump is one hell of a negotiator and has GREAT business acumen" to "OK, *maybe* the banks did indeed have to take over his business because he was so bad at it, but I merely said *if* he was worth 1-4 billion, I didn't say he *was* a great businessman..." in a span of 12 hours to talk about facts and details.

I didn't know what Diam was talking about with his weird ramble about "avoiding" Willie's questions, so I scrolled up. I can't stop laughing. Do you understand that Trump released his personal financial information? Do you understand that that will tell you countless times more than will a tax return? The piece of paper where he claimed to be worth $10 billion dollars, with his last name being worth $3 billion alone? Laughing out loud at Willie asking "did you *see* the piece of paper the senile pathological liar released saying he was worth $10 billion? Do you *understand* that a piece of paper filled with complete nonsense is more illuminating than federal tax records?" What companies did Clinton or Obama own and operate that hired employees NOT paid by taxpayer dollars? I'm still waiting for your proof and some relevant reference to something other than a comedy flick. All of their respective campaigns outside of president, for one. Clinton also had several shady LLC's with multiple employees, that were heavily scrutinized by Rush Limbaugh in 1991. In 1992, Obama formed his first LLC, and later became ownership partner in a private Chicago law firm. I'll summaries it for you:
Has Trump (before being elected President) ever received a W2 and/or K-1 (aka had a job) from an entity other than one that gets it's money from taxpayers?
Has Trump ever been the signer (not just endorser) of paychecks from entities that do not get their money from taxpayers?
Has Obama or Clinton (prior to being elected President) ever owned or operated a company that hired people and if they signed a paycheck, was it only from an entity that receives its money from taxpayers? The answer to all 3 questions is yes. Seriously, these were the questions that Diam kept rambling on about Saul over? Jesus, you guys embarrass yourselves when you get red and mad. Just take the L and move on. What companies did Clinton or Obama own and operate that hired employees NOT paid by taxpayer dollars? I'm still waiting for your proof and some relevant reference to something other than a comedy flick. The softball answer is all of their respective political campaigns, but Bill Clinton had several Shell LLC's with employees. The GOP was hell bent on investigat Also..."OK, maybe Trump was like Billy Madison, but..?" is the grand argument you guys were pretending were hard hitting questions people were avoiding?

For anyone who wants a good laugh, check out the insane "financial report" Trump released where he claimed to be worth $10 billion, that Willie embarrassed himself trying to argue was more illuminating than a federal tax return: http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-10-billion-financial-disclosure-report-2015-7The funnniest prt is that this entire thread was started because it was revealed that Trump has always been next to broke, but spent all of his time and energy trying to lie about how he wasn't...and then Willie comes out with "Do you understand the importance of Trump claiming he's worth $10 billion? Can you comprehend that?" The disclosure form contends that Trump's name - not any holdings or properties or licenses - is worth $3 billion alone...and he's actually trying to make it sound like him getting duped into believing it makes *him* the guy in the know. Watching people drowning while trying to explain away the fact that the guy that thought was some business shark is actually Billy Madison minus the charm has been quite a treat.

His negotiating skills that forced the USFL into direct competition with the NFL, as an attempt to get into a legal battle in which, the NFL would be forced to absorb some USFL teams. This of course was years after bragging about how buying an NFL would be a lateral move.

This of course was years after bragging about how buying an NFL would be a lateral move. The USFL is peak dumb Trump, but he was always best known for being so easy to dupe that it was almost unbelievable. It got to the point where in the 1980's, it was common knowledge that if you had a building worth like $2 million, you could goad Trump into paying like $10 million just by saying things like "Of course, a really smart person would pay $10 million, and you're very smart aren't you Mr. Trump? And a snazzy dresser, get a load of that tie!" And these guys somehow got tricked into thinking he was "one hell of a negotiator" with "GREAT business acumen".

U dont even know ... u just want to have a TDS TANTRUM and kick and scream about him not releasing his tax returns even though u have no clue what u hope to find out from them ...
I simply want him to be held accountable to the same standard as every other president has for decades. And BTW- Diam, my posts have been pretty basic posts on this topic. Everyone can easily see which one of us is throwing a TDS tantrum in this thread and it's not me. Also, the IRS told him it was fine to release his taxes. If there's nothing to find in his taxes, why not release them? Like I said, if he's innocent of anything, why not act like it. Now go ahead and throw another tantrum diam. All you know how to do is rant and pretend you're so superior. You're not. And just for reference, it's menSas, not menZas. I mean if you actually want to look like you might be smart. lmao

Now go ahead and throw another tantrum diam. All you know how to do is rant and pretend you're so superior. You're not. When Diam gets red-faced and flustered because his argument got laughably dissected, his go to is to try and pretend like he's on some higher level of thinking that other people can't comprehend. All in the service of flailing in a failed attempt to argue that a trust fund simpleton who was born on third base and got picked off is some kind of intelligent businessman. Because otherwise all that's left is the impotent fury of a dude who's terrified to step foot into Times Square because there's black people there now.

My questions were very simple, not at all derogatory and I felt deserved an honest answer. I see the reason why some people get argumentative and hostile at times. Things then tend to escalate. I get it.
But when you ask simple questions the only reason for such responses are to avoid having any constructive dialogue.
Here were the basic questions......
1. Why should Trump be excused from the same standards every presidential candidate has followed for decades now by releasing his taxes?
2. If he's innocent of all wrongdoing, what does he have to hide?
3. Why would his attorney tell him not to release his taxes if there's not something he feels should be hidden?
Now I don't believe those questions deserve some off in left field rant as a response. I don't think asking those basic questions mean that you hate anyone. I do think some crazy rants is a way to avoid addressing those questions though.

If he's innocent of all wrongdoing, what does he have to hide? He's an idiot who blew through his trust fund, and he wants to preserve the absurd lie he's always tried to cultivate about him being a billionaire who is savvy. 3. Why would his attorney tell him not to release his taxes if there's not something he feels should be hidden? Because that never happened.

Here is Diam, in his own words, describing a man who took $80 million in loans and turned it into a mountain of debt so large the bank made him relinquish the right to run his own business: Ya .... attacking a man who turned 1 or 2 million into at least 3 or 4 billion on his business acumen

reliquish the right to run his own business?
from the facts, they didn't even allow him to run his own life. they had to put him on an allowance like a teenager.

from the facts, they didn't even allow him to run his own life. they had to put him on an allowance like a teenager. He went to them begging for a loan, and they were like "Alright, we're too far into you money-wise to say no, but if we bail you out, you're not allowed to conduct business anymore, because you're exceptionally and terribly bad at it". And not only can Diam not take the L and admit "OK, he's a trust fund weirdo, but I dig his racism", but he's so insecure that he has to try and go next level with "You people are peons who don't understand the genius of a man who sets fire to money".

Did u get the answer to ANY of your questions yet Willie ..... it was a rhetorical question ...  ... Remember ... they hate questions ... especially ones with details in them .... there avoided like the plague ... It leads directly to the insult/deflect portion of their Saul handbooks .... pages 53 - 62 i believe ... Nah...I wasn't actually expecting any either. He can't address actual facts and must resort to typical fact-deflecting rhetoric. I'll take my foot off his throat now and exit this thread as he's been exposed as simply an unhinged Trump-hater unable to recognize reality or support his own argument with facts. I've schooled numerous folks such as that guy. He's basically coming to a gun fight with a cupcake and just found that out. I'll consider my efforts here as "Mission Accomplished". Next up? The guy who claimed that his tax liability would actually INCREASE under the new tax law. Should be fun.

I'm not sure that's how banks work. He was too far into the bank/s so they said they'd bail him out? I'm not a banker, but that's not typically how banks work, I think. If that's truly the case, my guess is the banks saw something that made them think "Hey, we'll give the guy more money, because 1 way or another, we'll get ours, plus interest, back." I don't know...

Scroll up in the thread. Trump had to sign over decision making because he was so bad at making deals. The banks made him sign over his business (decision-making wise) because they were worried they wouldn't get their money back plus interest if he kept trying to pretend to be a businessman. That proposal was vetoed. While he did receive a $450,000-a-month allowance from the banks to keep his business operations going, it was structured and executed on the banks’ terms, several of the negotiators said. The banks decided they could recover more of the $4 billion they were collectively owed if they sold Trump’s holdings one by one, waiting until the market recovered, rather than taking possession of the assets, four participants in the talks said. These individuals said the banks agreed to forgive Trump’s personal liabilities in exchange for his help in selling the properties. The proceeds of the sales would then be split among the banks. Trump agreed that the banks could take away all his personal property, including his beloved Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, if he failed to execute the agreement. http://fortune.com/2016/07/17/trump-financial-comeback-story/Quote: In 1990, Donald Trump’s empire and image were imploding. Running short on cash and having already missed a bond payment to the backers of his Trump Castle casino in Atlantic City, Trump was on the precipice of bankruptcy. If he defaulted on the loan, banks would swoop in, seize his prized properties, and sell them off to get their money back. But those banks offered Trump a lifeline. They agreed to loan him more money so he could keep making payments on his various debts—under a few conditions. “The banks will name two executives to run the Trump empire, bar him from moving money among his companies without the banks’ permission, and limit him to a $450,000 allowance for ‘personal and household spending,'” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/06/trump-files-donald-gets-allowance/Quote: The documents, dated Friday and made available over the weekend, show that banks, as conditions for lending Trump $65 million more to ease his cash crunch, will name two executives to run the Trump empire, bar him from moving money among his companies without the banks` permission and limit him to a $450,000 allowance for ``personal and household spending.`` http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1990-...e-casino-resort

Nah...I wasn't actually expecting any either. I answered every one of your questions. None of them made any point. I'll consider my efforts here as "Mission Accomplished". I burst out laughing. You actually tried to argue that the insane financial disclosure form where Trump claimed to be worth $10 billion was more instructive than a federal tax return. Here it is: Do you understand that Trump released his personal financial information? Do you understand that that will tell you countless times more than will a tax return? The funniest part is that you tried to frame it in a "do you understand?" type fashion. He can't address actual facts and must resort to typical fact-deflecting rhetoric. I'll take my foot off his throat now and exit this thread as he's been exposed as simply an unhinged Trump-hater unable to recognize reality or support his own argument with facts. I've schooled numerous folks such as that guy. He's basically coming to a gun fight with a cupcake and just found that out. You flat out and completely embarrassed yourself. "Take my foot off his throat"? Seriously? You melted down in this thread in hilarious fashion. You went from "at least Trump had a real job" to "OK, maybe Trump never had a real job, but did Clinton or Obama ever sign a non-taxpayer funded paycheck?" to "OK, maybe Clinton and Obama signed non-taxpayer funded paychecks, but Trump said he was worth $10 billion, and I believe him" in a span of like 8 hours.

WILLIE: Don't you people understand when Trump released the laughably insane document claiming to be worth $10 billion, that it was far more informative than any tax return?

Because, there are laws and regulations when it comes to lending - even business lending. No bank is going to continuously lend money into a money pit. Once you hit the threshold of guidelines, they cease any further lending. Most banks also have provisions they can terminate any open unsecured lines at any time, depending on the outlook of the borrower and/or company.
edit to add - they can also declare default and accelerate the debt, making the amount due in full. they wouldn't lend you more to pay it off that happened.
So, if Trump and his business were in such dire needs and dire circumstances, was losing money left and right - and was as high risk, please do me a favor and explain how ANY bank would continue to lend money? They wouldn't. Banks are 1000000% about risk. Everything they do, everything they invest in has risk factors and ratings. From what is being presented as "fact", is just ludicrous to even comprehend would have happened. I would also go out on a limb and say a bank would have no recourse or say on how one business owner pays himself or stipulates their salary. To actually believe they could condition his salary to 450K is purely laughable. I know you guys like the Russia angle, but this isn't Russia.
Honestly ask yourself a question, if a bank lends Swish LLC money, and Swish LLC defaults on said loan, runs a horrible business, has a horrible credit rating, and then Swish LLC goes back to bank for MORE money, do you think bank is going to say "hey, we haven't got our money back yet, and your bleeding funds and your credit blows, but juussssttttt to make sure we make bad investments - heres more."
