    So, you cannot supply such evidence.
    Thank you

    The Hill, WaPo and the NYT?

    Is that the best you can do?

    You're wrong on both. Ignorance is bliss, my friend.

    I would talk to local police, but never to the FBI unless it involved helping to stop or solve an Islamic terrorism case.

    The legend lives on from old Wellesley on down
    'Bout the wreck of the Hillary Clinton
    Elections they learned have got to be earned
    Else the wind in the wires says Trump wins

    Full disclosure: I hate Trump and consider him one of the biggest threats of all time to our political system.

    That said, could some fellow anti-Trumper please explain why his tax losses from the 1980s is relevant to our lives? Sure, it's interesting that he may have lied about his wealth - but a Trump lie is hardly an aberration (10,001 lies isn't materially different from an even 10,000), and it's not going to change the minds of any supporters.

    The point is not that he lost some money. The point is that he lost the MOST money of everybody. American's biggest looser is Trump. That's the point.

    You are very welcome. Suspicion leads to evidence which Trump attempted to prevent.

    Mueller's conclusion did not exonerate Trump by any stretch of the imagination. He found that Russia did indeed interfere in our
    election and that Trump obstructed any investigation by firing Comey and he was advised not to fire him for that reason. There were dozens of encounters between trump's boys and Russian agents. Get real. They were possibly colluding but maybe simply duped by the Russians.

    Losses are not good for business. Trust me--been there. The large losses may have been created to overwhelm the auditors, or maybe they were real losses in which case it shows Trump to be a lousy businessman.

    The losses were primarily OTHER PEOPLES INVESTMENT which Dirty Donald claimed as personal losses on his taxes.He should be in prison with Bernie Madoff who is the only one in America who has lost more other peoples money than Dirty Donald.

    Yes.
    Yes. Startups typically lose money.
    Trump lost money at least in part because he made bad business decisions. His businesses weren't all startups.
    He's a freebooting con artist.

    The "tax codes" and other laws give Congress the right to request tax returns, including Trump's. I believe Congress has a duty to determine whether or not Trump is using the Presidency to line his pockets. My objection around the law is the operation of the court system that allows Trump to drag out the process of accessing Trump's returns to the point of near irrelevance.

    When Trump started his television show he talked openly about this period in his life when he was going broke. This is now big news to the NY times?

    Which Atlantic City casinos didn't lose money in that era? Have some names and numbers?

    Trump purchased those casinos that were losing money and then lost more money going into bankruptcy in his naive belief that he would turn them around. The others got out because they could see what was happening. Just as Yardmeat stated, "illustrative of his recklessness"

    Risk takers are the ones that end up wealthy just as Trump ultimately did. He was the consummate entrepreneur
