10 Things Donald Trump Wants You To Forget

6. The Bankruptcies

Donald Trump claims to hate the "B" word. Hate it or not, he can't deny that his gilded career has also been fraught with a few bankruptcies. In the August 6th Republican debate, Trump claimed that "virtually every person that you read about on the front page of the business sections, they've used the law". If only historical data backed that claim. In reality, fewer than 20% of public companies with assets of $1 billion or more have filed for bankruptcy. Now, while the Donald has never filed for personal bankruptcy, he has filed a whopping four times for his businesses. The most recent of these was in 2009 when Trump filed Chapter 11 for Trump Entertainment Resorts. While his name is still emblazoned on the building, Trump resigned from the resort's board of directors and sold off his shares. Perhaps that's his plan if elected president: Should the economy tank he will pack up his gold-plated stapler from the oval office, cut himself a nice severance check, and skip town. Sounds legit.
