Trump and his supporters pretend that he made money from real estate. He didn't. That was a myth created by "The Apprentice." He lost money in real estate.
The most money he ever made--$3.4 BILLION--was from his presidency, which he got elected to by pretending he was successful in real estate.
How do you bankrupt the same property twice???

It cost $1.2 billion to build the "8th wonder of the world" in the 1990s. It just sold for $50 million.
Barbra Walter's called him out on his bullshit! I wish more would!!!
You mean the casinos in Atlantic City turned into total failures?
Corruption Politics. Which is why criminals are drawn to Politics like moths to a flame.
They couldn’t even use his real boardroom because it was old, broken down and a disgrace, so Mark Burnett had one built for TV. He is a FAILED businessman, a fraud, a bigot who used the “N” word frequently and made inappropriate comments about the women when his nasty mouth wasn’t moving.
That damn apprentice show! So much fictional misinformation spewed that fed the people that became his ardent supporters. None of it was real magats. It was designed to entertain, it wasn't a documentary! It was a big bluff!!!!
The thing that frightens me is the Germans couldn’t stop it. It took the rest of the world to stop it so to me the question is how to motivate the rest of the world to save us after our country has mistreated the rest of the world.
The celebrity he acquired from 'The Apprentice' & his tireless efforts at self-promotion led to him becoming president & becoming a billionaire
Truth!
It takes special kind of talent to inherit millions and millions and then lose it in real estate and casino businesses, not worth screwing your siblings out of their fair share.
He made debt ,tax breaks , business fraud , his business, he is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the American corporate business class everything in one man now he has the nuclear codes this is insanity he is demented , evil ,and senile .
And before that as an actor, in a TV show where he played the part of a real estate tycoon.
They don't fucking care. Someone told me yesterday that her entire MAGAt family, who are all evengelicals, don't care about his character. They only care about his shitty policies, which they wholeheartedly endorse. It's sickening.
The only successful business Trump has ever had has been selling MAGA crap to idiots and fundraising off their stupidity.
He got elected by rigging elections.
But he'll eventually tank the economy and lose money from being president too.
It took producers 2 weeks to train him to say “you’re fired” correctly…rehearsing 2 words for 2 weeks…🤦♂️
It doesn't matter how much money trump accumulates over his lifetime. His legacy already sealed by the fascism that he brings to the US. He will be remembered as such. A fascist I dream of someday watching the peasants kick trump's head around like a soccer ball after they chop it off his fat body
Which the results of look more and more dubious every day
Trump knows how to market his image. As a business owner, he is a failure.
Throughout a false business deal, they stole money from the contracted workers.
The presidency gave another source of revenue to steal from our tax dollars.
The entire Trump story is a fake. He’s self made in the way that he invented his successful businessman persona. That people either don’t see or care is remarkable to me. His whole presidency has been that way. All for show and no substance.
Anyone in the NY metro area knew of Trump as a fraudster and a joke.
So much for the Emoluments Clauses. Yep, it’s a thing. So wether a jet (that your tax dollars will retro fit it for secure use) or crypto currency or Real Estate Licensing deals or who knows what more, the idea is to protect the integrity of the office! 🤣😂🤣 that ship has sailed!
I would say he proved that if you are a conman, concentrate on the maga crowd to get rich.
The Art of the Con. He is the Master.
He has over 6 bankruptcy, including a few casinos, house doesn't always win, an airline university, steaks, etc....his whole persona is reality show hype. He's a con man 🔥
The fee you get for money laundering through real estate transactions tends not to show up on tax forms. As we all know, on paper, it looks like he never earned a dime.
It was always the Art of the Con.
THIS A-HOLE BANKRUPTED CASINOS!!!
CASINOS ARE MONEY FACTORIES!!!
Netflix did a series called Dirty Money. One episode, Confidence Man was about Trump. The guys who created The Apprentice say it was satire on their part. They saw what a fake he was & is & they wanted to expose it in the program. Nobody seemed to get the joke.
Daddy’s money. The worlds foremost neppo baby
After losing daddy's $ Trump started laundering Russian mob $ with real estate. He sold them a $200k apt for $1 million, kicked back $700k and used the $1mil sale price to get loans on similar property's.
Boom! Correct! He was a creation of Mark Burnett
He’s rich on paper when applying for yet another loan but poor as a church mouse when filing tax returns.
Technically, he made money off the real estate of the United States by selling people, mostly children until this administration, and his soul.
Oops. I meant loser not lover.
He is a lover. The lowest of all lowlife.
Exactly, but only educated people that do research know this. MAGA MORONS aren’t capable of doing research. They are nothing but a bunch of gullible uneducated fools.
How was the American population so gullible?
He was a great lost for America and even the effect of his actions will appear years after he leaves the office.
He could tell them he walks in water when no one is looking and his cult would believe it.
Another American bootstrapping success story!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He bankrupted casinos! How does one do that??
A fraud, a failure, a criminal...a disgusting human.
The only efforts he made money on is the apprentice, the presidency and daddy kicking the bucket.
Most people know that real estate is an excellent way to launder money.
And when they throw them out of office, they should go after all the money he made take it back and redistribute it to those who need it in the United States.
I really hope he's found guilty on RICO charges in the future and everything he has is confiscated.
He is, and has always been, a con man. He successfully conned his way into the most powerful job on the planet. It’s a tragedy.
There ya go . . .
Congrfiting pile of dung
He made most of his money by laundering Russian mafia money
Is this really true?
The myth of Trump the real estate mogul was always just that—a myth. Reality shows his wealth came largely from political power, not property deals.
His businesses always hemorrhage money. He always seems to have plenty. Think those two could somehow be connected?
Trump would have been a better businessman if he had just put his inheritance in the bank and kept his fucking mouth shut for the rest of his pathetic life.
Really like following you. You have interesting stuff to say.
Locally in Palm Springs, after Trump's casino business filed for bankruptcy, he was fired by the local tribe of the 29 Palms Band of Mission Indians (also known as the descendants of the Chemehuevi people) because Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts did such a bad job.
"Donald, you're fired."
“The Apprentice “ creator and producer even publicly apologized for lying to America about tRump being a successful real estate tycoon. Apparently he was just trying to hype his show.
Mr. Trump goes to Alaska for peace in our time.
not long before his presidency, he faced stress when he couldn't get anyone to hold his debt. It was in the press, I'm not looking it up. Regular banks would no longer deal with him. At the last minute, Russian oligarchs agreed to hold his debt. I wonder what they were told, that made them do that.
Trump is a failure, felon, and rapist. The Republicans are who are holding him up as their savior and granting him billions of dollars. the Republicans have lost their way
Exactly! He had never had a successful business until the Presidency. Jr. and Dumber said so on Fox. I shouldn't have listened to them, it made my blood boil! They claimed they had no choice but to violate the Constitution because they had no money. By that logic, if we're broke, we could steal too.
Before he became president, his only successes were as a game show host and as a money launderer for the Russian mob.
He would have made more money doing nothing with his inheritance(via interest) vs trying to role play as an investor. I mean, my dude bankrupted casinos. How is that even possible?
He made money using real estate as a money laundering scheme. Whether the property actually generated profit (it usually does) is irrelevant, he funneled billion$ of dirty money through his real estate scams and it came out clean (minus his fee) on the other end.
No genius there, just willingness.
Didn’t the orange idiot inherit all his wealth, his Nazi daddy had to bail him out when he bankrupt his multiple casinos.
F*ck Mark Burnett
He probably earned some money by trafficking young girls from Russia to Epstein Island
Fred trump made a lot of money in real estate, primarily thru post-war govt contracts building cheap housing in the outer NY boroughs. It's well documented when Fred aged his son claimed his father's fortune and got Fortune Magazine to believe him for awhile. The son's always been a fraud & a con.
And he keeps milking his office for money. Witness the newest profit center: his grand Gaudytorium. We don't think invitations to dine and dance there will come cheap, do we?
And prior to that, the most $ he ever made was from the television show.
NBC and the Today show created his image bringing him as a guest and referring to him and his ego as “the Donald”. They helped create the myth of his political persona by treating him as though his opinion mattered in politics. I quit Today at that time.
People also don’t realize the bindings with his name on them he never built. He got paid to slap his name on buildings other people built.
And a hell of a lot of corrupt help and funding from Russia, to prop it all up.
How much can one make by pretending to get shot in the ear? 👀
Is Trump now facing a crisis of legitimacy? #CrisisofLegitimacy
Trump would be richer if he'd invested his inheritance in the local Savings & Loan. All his businesses have been disasters. Pillaging the royal treasury was the only way he could appease his judgemental Father-Phantoms.
The only "deals" he ever made were branding... lending his name to buildings OTHER developers built.
Oh, he made money - by helping Russian oligarchs launder their money through his casinos and real estate. He just knew how to keep the money off his balance sheets. Trump couldn't run a lemonade stand without committing a crime.
Yep
and pretending he was successful in the latest rigged election.
And probably sex trafficking and money laundering through his golf resorts.
Shout out the Truth!
And the fortune he inherited was the result of theft from US taxpayers: as the documents leaked to the NYT by Mary Trump showed, Donald's father handed him about $400 million derived from tax evasion and fraud on federal building contracts.
www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of ...
To be fair, a fair bit of them are just woefully stupid.
Declared bankruptcy 6 times including casinos. You have to be a real moron to go broke with casinos.
Grifter (and Felon) in Chief
His dad was successful at scamming government contracts and building subpar buildings. Trump bankrupted casinos. He lost his family's money, he lost his apprentice money, now he's working on shaking America down until there is nothing left
Donald Trump is a born conman.
Anyone with six bankruptcies is NOT a great businessman. The only time Trump made money was when he conned people out of their money.
Trump is such a great businessman that if he had simply invested his inheritance in the S&P500, he would have been richer: www.forbes.com/sites/danale...
Trump’s fortune plunged at the outset of the pandemic, but unlike the overall stock market, his real estate empire hasn’t come roaring back.
puti poo has been his bank since the late 60’s ❌👑💙
And pretending to be president 🏌️♂️
I’m from NYC. We have always known this. He fails at and destroys everything he touches, making money only on the Apprentice’s illusion of success.
Yeah before that the only time he made money was getting paid for the Apprentice. Before the graft everything he’d ever been in charge of lost money (and there is still time. Fraud comes with disgorgement as damages)Take it ALL back
His brand "Trump" saved him from depending on welfare. Also, the money he didn't pay to the IRS.
Yep Can't even run a Laundrymat at a casino Correctly.
Trump and his family have always been criminals, grifters and they move forward with grooming children and being #pedopresident
They tend to ignore the several bankruptcies. Many of us who grew up in NYC knew he was a fraud and liar. Not to mention trash from Queens, where I grew up. We thought he was trash too. Not to mention tacky and classless
You can make the argument that he is the biggest failure in American business history.
Please do not leave us hungry and unable to find food, thirsty, and undrinkable water, unable to find medicine, unable to find anything to spend except the small donations we receive. Your donation, even if it is a small one, will save our children.😭🫂
He recouped a lot of money from his TV show.
Rape doesn't usually turn a profit.
Not unless a person is trafficking in victims.
docs.google.com/document/u/1...
People keep telling me he was a businessman. I reply, yeah a really shit one.
Trump has always got away with it by pushing the bill back into taxpayers.
Tax breaks to build failed enterprises.
What are you talking about? He went into the office the 1st time, with $3.6 net value. He left the presidency at $2.6 Billion. He LOST a billion being the president. The first president not to enrich himself since Jackson. Now, he came into the 2nd presidency with a net worth of $12+ Billion.
The irony is almost comical, until you realize he made his $ from us the TAXPAYERS!
It's ALL so disgusting. I'm so exhausted by everything this man does that I have to hear about.

He lost more money than he ever made…
When one launders money using real estate, it often looks like they’re not good with real estate.
He's got 6 bankruptcies. The only bank who did business with him was the same one who got caught laundering money for Putin & Jeffrey Epstein.
Name one "good businessman" who filed 6 bankruptcies?
i dunno...i think he did pretty good in real estate money laundering for russians. not sure where he hides that laundered money but he sure did handle a lot of washing for decades.
And THAT is exactly the sort of straightforward history that should be in the Smithsonian. Thank you.
#Epstein
He made his money from branding.
