Fun fact: as Senator, HRC voted YES on the bill to close that very loophole. The tax loophole was controversial, but it was taken advantage of by tax advisers at the time. Eventually, the Supreme Court ruled in Gitlitz v. Commissioner that the law was clear, even if it may have been written incorrectly. It was up to Congress to fix the law. In 2002 it closed the loophole. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) was among those voting to close it. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/how-trump-wa-sable-to-suffer-nearly-1-billion-in-losses-and-stay-rich | ||

Did Trump just launch Trump TV? After Wednesday night’s third and final presidential debate, on cable and network television, Trump surrogates rushed to spin Trump’s assertion that he would not accept the results of the November election, and some cable television post-debate panels descended into screaming matches. But on Donald Trump’s Facebook page, which had already livestreamed a pre-debate show, followed by the debate itself for a little fewer than 200,000 people, and a post-debate program full of panels, pre-recorded bits and complete with anchors and all the other trappings of a news program, an alternate reality was being established. Proclaiming itself an antidote to the “mainstream media” which Trump has said is guilty of tipping the scales of this election against Trump and the American people and in favor of a Clintonocracy, the nearly three hours of programming on Facebook cycled through Trump surrogates, family members and former Apprentice members, all of whom praised Trump endlessly. ... | ||

Yeah, looks like we Trump guys wont win, but at least getting 45% will hopefully send a strong message that there's plenty of people unhappy with the current direction... Especially when that 45% people will have voted for almost suicide for their country to show their unhappiness. That should be a strong message that things are not okay. Trump has always claimed that a large part of the 10b he claims he's worth is the value of his Trump brand, rather than any tangible asset. So I'd guess it's cost him a lot. | ||

This is bad logic and you should feel bad. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/is-there-any-precedent-for-a-trump-comeback/ They actually examined the exact claim you're trying to make. Their conclusion, no. | ||
