It went out of business in 2007, but I feel certain that it will be resurrected with the 50-year mortgage scheme.

(247,426 posts)2. Thanks! I wasn't aware of that one, good memory!
And every single attempted business of his, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University, numerous casinos, all went under pretty quickly. So much for his reputation as a "businessman." So what would possess anyone at all to think of making him responsible for the largest economy in the world??

may as well go back to "balloon payments"
i think they are hoping that by deporting many of us and killing off the rest, supply and demand will lower prices.
