How could Trump manage a country when he couldn't even manage a lemonade stand?

1. No one should need to see Donald Trump's tax returns to know he's a Businessman in the way Clark Stanley was a Businessman. We have known for some time that Trump initially made his money through a multigenerational tax avoidance scheme that at some points veered into outright fraud. We have known that many of his businesses—six at least—have crashed into bankruptcy, including multiple casinos(!), and he avoided personal bankruptcy by taking his failing business public—the stock ticker was his initials—and leaving investors with the bill. Throughout much of the 1990s, he was not paying taxes because of nearly $1 billion in business losses he incurred during that time, which canceled out any income earned. When he did get some real income again, it was primarily by playing the part of a Businessman on television—complete with a stage-set Boardroom that NBC had to build for the show—and selling the rights to others to use that contrived image.....

2. The New York Times "terrific" exposé on Trump's taxes is akin to a little child saying that the naked emperor "had got nothing on" in Hans Christian Andersen's cautionary tale "The Emperor's New Clothes". If Hans Christian Andersen has returned from the great beyond today, he might add the following passage into his story:

“However, there were still many people, particularly his diehard followers, continuing to deceive themselves by pretending that the naked emperor was wearing the best clothes on earth. They said: 'What splendid stuff that is being woven! Its texture and appearance are exactly like his skin, making him look totally naked. How we wish to have such wonderful clothes! Wearing such miraculous stuff in public gives us the feeling of absolute freedom!'"

You might want to get an English to Reedak dictionary and look up the definition of the word "challenge."

Whatever the meaning of "challenge", just hope you would enjoy your daily lemonade, and your support would avert another Trumpian bankruptcy. :)
