Everyone acting like this will screw him somehow without realizing that this is one of the ways that these fucks avoid ever paying taxes.
Quite sure this is just financial chicanery. "Lost money" - well, where did it go to? They didn't burn cash in a bonfire. So who has it then? Suppliers? Insiders?
He still pulled in how many billion last year? Yeah... it's all a scam.
When sensible people look at service things like the post office and the library, it's understood that profit should be negative with revenue being zero. It's a service already being paid for.
When a dictator looks at a propaganda machine, they understand losses are acceptable when it's used to make billions elsewhere and gain control.
Right? He made 2 BILLION (that we know of), just last year. Losing $238M on this, even assuming all 238M of that is coming out of his bottom line?
BFD.
Fuck trump. He hates America.
One can only hope he burns in hell for eternity!
It doesn't need to make money any more (if it ever did), it's a "loss leader" of sorts; it's lube, to keep the other grifts going which he now makes far more money from.
I would make fun of the guy for not even being able to make a bribery scheme unprofitable, but I've never been more certain that the losses are on paper only for tax and creditor purposes.
Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
Ha ha!
lol
That's the art of the dwal
