Decade in the Red: Trump Tax Figures
Show Over $1 Billion in Business Losses
Newly obtained tax information reveals that from 1985 to 1994, Donald J. Trump’s businesses were in far bleaker condition than was previously known.

By the time his master-of-the-universe memoir “Trump: The Art of the Deal” hit bookstores in 1987, Donald J. Trump was already in deep financial distress, losing tens of millions of dollars on troubled business deals, according to previously unrevealed figures from his federal income tax returns.
Mr. Trump was propelled to the presidency, in part, by a self-spun narrative of business success and of setbacks triumphantly overcome. He has attributed his first run of reversals and bankruptcies to the recession that took hold in 1990. But 10 years of tax information obtained by The New York Times paints a different, and far bleaker, picture of his deal-making abilities and financial condition.
The data — printouts from Mr. Trump’s official Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts, with the figures from his federal tax form, the 1040, for the years 1985 to 1994 — represents the fullest and most detailed look to date at the president’s taxes, information he has kept from public view. Though the information does not cover the tax years at the center of an escalating battle between the Trump administration and Congress, it traces the most tumultuous chapter in a long business career — an era of fevered acquisition and spectacular collapse.
The numbers show that in 1985, Mr. Trump reported losses of $46.1 million from his core businesses — largely casinos, hotels and retail space in apartment buildings. They continued to lose money every year, totaling $1.17 billion in losses for the decade.
In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer, The Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners. His core business losses in 1990 and 1991 — more than $250 million each year — were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years.
Over all, Mr. Trump lost so much money that he was able to avoid paying income taxes for eight of the 10 years. It is not known whether the I.R.S. later required changes after audits.
Since the 2016 presidential campaign, journalists at The Times and elsewhere have been trying to piece together Mr. Trump’s complex and concealed finances. While The Times did not obtain the president’s actual tax returns, it received the information contained in the returns from someone who had legal access to it. The Times was then able to find matching results in the I.R.S. information on top earners — a publicly available database that each year comprises a one-third sampling of those taxpayers, with identifying details removed. It also confirmed significant findings using other public documents, along with confidential Trump family tax and financial records from the newspaper’s 2018 investigation into the origin of the president’s wealth.
The White House’s response to the new findings has shifted over time.
Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father
Several weeks ago, a senior official issued a statement saying: “The president got massive depreciation and tax shelter because of large-scale construction and subsidized developments. That is why the president has always scoffed at the tax system and said you need to change the tax laws. You can make a large income and not have to pay large amount of taxes.”

The world is flat, not the earth, the earth is round
It's a misunderstanding of words well one word, and I will explain how that works.
Take a ream of A4 paper and a 5 pointed cake star cutter with a very sharp edge. Place the ream of A4 on a flat surface like a bench. Use the cake star cutter and start cutting through about 100 pieces or more or less, if you wish to actually use the paper for future use, somewhere inside the A4 area. Remove both the cake cutter and the inside stars made from the A4 and you will be left with the shape of a 5 star hole that is now 3D and u take the top piece of paper in your hands you have a 5 star hole that is no longer 3D, because it is separate and clearly flat, without being part of the 100 pieces of paper cut into a 5 star in the EXACT same spot you will never get the 3D illusion.
Now imagine the A4 paper and the cut 5-star hole being lifesize and you walking through each piece of paper, it would give you the feeling of you being in a 3D world
Now take this concept and use it on a lifesize scale, of say the street you travel every day without a single thought, and think how many holes required to cut blades of grass in a square metre. Or the ants that live within the blades of grass. There is so much detail in these interactive holes that you are so distracted, from the fact all it is one single picture of many fine cut holes layered over another which gives the perception of movement.
So my point is the world is but a single layered highly detailed picture of holes that we pass giving us the deception of us travelling, interaction and depth on a highly complex level. The sense of hot/cold rough/smooth are all defined by the rules within this world. Which helps make the world we see convince us for it to be real.
I hope this helps explain the world is flat concept if not ask questions. I will answer as best I can

Since google has let me down....
I'm bringing my question here with the hope of a simple straight forward answer, which seems to be so hard to get these days
When in court why are some trials kept private and at who's request?

Step by step in my trucker education
The school I am enrolled in, has put up a handy dandy chart, breaking down how the education is structured.
It starts with 20 weeks of school, where I get basic subjects, like Danish, IT, science, forklift certificate, first aid, fire and rescue and subjects relating to the course. Rules and such things.
Once those 20 weeks are over, it's time to take my category B driving license, which allows me to drive any car and van up to 3.5 tonnes. That course it about 1.5 weeks
When I pass that, I am sent to an employer, where I get to spend some time with them, getting the basics of the job.
Then it's back to school, where I get my category C license, which is semi truck/lorry, as well as more subjects. This course lasts around 7 weeks.
When I pass that, then it's off to do some more work, this time as a truck driver. After that, it's back to school for about 4 weeks, where I will train to receive my trailer and ADR license. This ADR license is the one I am looking most forward to getting done. With ADR, I can haul dangerous or hazardous goods. Think stuff like fuel, fireworks and corrosive materials.
Once I have passed that, it's time for yet another trip to the employer, to work.
After a bit, guess what.. Yes, it's back to school, where it's time to pick my speciality: goods, tanker, sanitation or movers. I have two in mind already: Goods and tanker. I get my final pick then, so a lot of time to think about that. This course is around 6 and a half week long.
Then.. You guessed it, time for more work with an employer.
Back to school for three weeks, where I learn how to drive with a trailer, and learn more stuff about trucking.
You can probably see where this is going. Yep, back to work.
After that, it's time for the one part of the education I am VERY excited about - a 4 and a half week course about hauling across borders. I also get language courses, so I will possibly have to learn a new language. I kind of doubt it, since most people in Europe speak English, but we'll see how it goes. I will also learn specific subjects, that relates to hauling across borders.
Then, back to work, for the final time. We're almost done!
Once I have completed my last work assignments, it's time for the final phase, where I am being quizzed about everything I have learned. If all goes well, then this final 5 week course will result in me passing my test at the end, and calling myself a truck driver! And I am looking forward to it!
