    Dude, you have no idea who you're talking to. I worked in finance for 30 years - are you saying I'm unsuccessful?

    I have colleagues who have done deals with Trump. I used to work in finance in NYC. They all - and most of them are Republicans - all say he can't read financial statements. My old boss actually led his buyout/bailout in the early 2000s. Bailout/buyout #4 I believe.

    It's like debating with a child. I say something and you reply with a smiley face.

    Crazy that the candidate the Dems put up was poor enough to lose the popular vote to a convicted felon. Maybe a lesson here

    Next thing you know you'll tell us you've achieved more than Lurker who has been explaining his achievements to us for years. Whether were interested or not.

    Clinton benefitted from Reagen economy, djt benefitted from Obama economy and will benefit from the path the economy is on now. the economy is like an aircraft carrier, it takes a long time to turn unless there is catastrophic failure.

    wars..what did he do to stop Hamas from attacking Israel or Russia from attacking Ukraine?

    Border--Immigration problems don't start at the border, They start in the countries of origin and take years to manifest. US programs offering economic assistance and security were working to cut flow. he axed those, covid hit, gangs and economic situations got exponentially worse, there was a wave of immigrants. djt cutting the security and economic development programs laid the groundwork for the problem and covid made it worse. djt then made it worse by killing the bill that would have funded improvements.

    I suspect you are not interested in the reality but the perception. if you want to discuss the reality of it, happy to do so.

    Wouldn't he just pay someone to do it? Id imagine he also doesn't personally manage hotels or do tax filing.

    I have zero interest in sharing my achievements other than you're so out of your element here you're embarrassing yourself.. and yet somehow arrogant in your ignorance at the same time

    Oh, there's a lesson alright. Fortunately for the Republicans, though, the dems are incapable of realizing what it is.

    I am stunned at the blowout.

    But, a blowout might be what was for the best.

    Congrats to MAGA.

    Hope America gets back on track.

    Well, in that case he'd pay a lawyer that specializes in that. I wouldn't expect him to personally do any of it?

    It's over man. Just accept it and move on. That's the only truth that you seem to be avoiding. The people spoke, and Harris was beaten soundly. You are looking like the scorned lover crying and blaming everyone else. It's quite funny to see actually.

    The voters made their choice. I don't like the choice. I think it's going to cause a lot of harm. But they made their choice. I was wrong about this election and this country. Sad. But that's life. What I won't be is a pathetic loser crying about the election being stolen. I have integrity.

    Yes but a bankruptcy lawyer is only a small part of it. What about all the creditors? Or do you not really understand how bankruptcies work when there's a bunch of creditors that want to be paid. My boss led the restructuring from the creditors side - you know, the ones with all the money that's owed to them.
