The Trump Files

Warren Buffett really let Donald Trump have it on Monday during a rally for Hillary Clinton.

Famous for his investing prowess, Buffett of course went after the one time Trump took a company public on the stock market.

“In 1995, Donald Trump went to the American people and he said join me — I’m a winner — and invest in my company: Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts,” Buffett said “They listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Mr. Trump very modestly made the ticker symbol DJT. Guess what that’s for.”

That business eventually turned out to be the worst part of Trump’s business portfolio.

“The next ten years, the company loses money every year,” Buffett continued. “Every single year.”

Buffett added that while shareholders saw their investment crumble, Trump took home $44 million in compensation during that period...

Buffett owns a credit rating agency, Moodys, that played a huge role in the financial collapse and crisis. Buffett has never taken responsibility for the billions of dollars in losses his firm's shoddy work caused. No doubt his cozy relationship with Obama shielded the from from any serious repercussions. I mean if democrat big shot Jon Crozine can just take investors' money and nothing happens, what does Buffett have to worry about?

Still, it is a bit rich to hear him criticizing Trump. Buffett's hypocrisy, lies and pull up the ladder behind him policies have been annoying for a long time. I really would love to see President Trump put the screws to Uncle Warren.

All speculation, but it makes for good spin. But hey, if Trump wants to verify the validity of what you just said, Buffet has offered to sit down with Trump and go over tax returns in as much detail as Trump wants. Then you would have your answer right? I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Or would you rather deal in hearsay? Trump is afraid of releasing tax returns, and there is almost certainly a very good reason politically for it. It's that simple.

Occam's Razor

Why should I care about Buffett's tax returns? He isn't running for anything. I believe ole Mr. Nebraska values has had some big ticket disputes with the IRS however.

I am interested in the finances of the Clinton Global Initiative Slush Fund, which is far more central to the Clintons than the few million they raked in giving speeches to Goldman and Saudi Arabia. The media have zero interest in this however. It's apparently on the lengthy list of things they must not talk about.

Exactly. You are 100% correct. So since Trump is running not only for something, but the highest something in the world, you should be concerned that he hasn't released his tax returns. But it is nowhere to be seen in what your write here on ET. If I am mistaken, please link me to where you have shown this level of critical thinking.

Agreed. Clinton needs to come clean on her husbands Fund, and she needs to show the transcripts to her speeches at Goldman Sachs.

Re the speeches, it is possible that GS owns them since they paid for them.

Then let Clinton say that. Besides, that is a bunch of BS and you know it.

No, I do not know it. I'm not going to release to the public the results of my latest employee training and survey results, and neither is the provider of that development program, since they signed a non-disclosure agreement. I have competition out there.

I got news for you. If that is the case, it is even more damning if Goldman Sachs owns them, the people ask Goldman Sachs for it, and they refuse. From the pot into the fire. Anything that can be imagined, will be imagined. The truth cleans.

This is going to come out one way or the other. Voluntarily is the right way.
