He didn't loose meaning gone. as the government is crediting him the money back via taxes.
People like that have a different view of life and business. it doesn't make them a liar it makes you ignorant.otherwise if you saw life as he did you would also be a billionaire.
Your lot in life does not define nor does it mandate every other living being must agree to your world view. If we only saw what you see we would all have the same things be bad at the same thing and have the same job. Your world view places you in your station of life. like wise your command of the language and your world view demand you seek out others who think like you do...
Any of them billionaires? why? because they think like you think.they see bankruptcy as a loss only. Men like trump see it as a way of washing debt and earning 40% more because taxes will be lifted.
That 40% credit is the same as making money because even though you made the money it is not really yours as you are an agency of the state and the state owns that 40% unless you have been given a tax break, which trump did get when he showed such a loss.
So to him long term he has made his money back several times over by not owning personal income tax.
All of which is beside the point, which is that we don't know whether Trump has made him money back. He may have, he may not have. But until and unless we can see his financial statements (and he may be right to keep them private, but that's another topic), all we have to go on is his word, which is all I said.
By the by, I happen to be worth eight trillizillion megabucks. Trust me.
