BTW, as Go Comics now can’t seem to post Tribune cartoonist pieces in a timely manner or at all, to include Scott’s editorial, you can catch the latest missing Steve Breen at: politics editorialcartoons stevebreen . There you can also find Walt Handelsman’s latest, too.
Trump keeps two sets of books and bankruptcy can be profitable…..
“Another thing you can do is run a business that stays afloat for a number of years without really being profitable. Then you pay yourself a high salary, and when it eventually goes bankrupt that’s the investors’ problem.
Russ Buettner and Charles V. Bagli have a fantastic, in-depth, 5,000-word account of Donald Trump’s business dealings in Atlantic City for the New York Times that is full of lurid details that amount to this core point: Trump’s New Jersey casinos were never successful operating businesses, but they did make a lot of money for Donald Trump personally, because he tunneled assets out of the enterprises into his own pockets.
While the sheer range of businesses Trump has been involved with over the years — real estate development, casinos, suits, reality television, steak, water, a “university,” books, presidential politics — may offer the superficial appearance of a broad range of mastery, the story of Trump’s adventures in Atlantic City reveal something else.
Across these ventures, Trump has mastered essentially a single skill — structuring deals to be financially beneficial to him personally regardless of whether the underlying business is successful. Rather than creating wealth for his business partners, Trump took advantage of investors who believed in him in order to benefit himself personally — just as he did years later with the “students” at Trump University."
