Best Answer:
After his father loaned him $10M in 1974 he had a good start, then he borrowed money like crazy high leverage loans which he refused to pay back, one German Bank accepted $24M on a $400M loan. He crashed Trump Airlines, dropped the ball on the AFL and placed a bad bet on Trump Casinos, got schooled at the unaccredited scam Trump University all on OPM (Other Peoples Money)..he lost $900M in just one year allowing him to avoid paying taxes for the next 18 years.....his father once took $10M cash to his casino and pretended to "lose" it but really it was just a gift to Donald over the counter......he spent a lot of time in court being sued successfully 1,365 times by investors, contractors, employees and just about anyone who ever did business with him. he spent a lot of money in court winning or settling out of court with no admission of guilt more than 2,000 times. .His construction business has many ties to the NYC Mafia who control much of the building trades.Some people say that the happiest day of his life was 4 days after his fathers funeral, when some Lawyers were reading something to him in their offices.....it took 15 years to wipe that smile off his face....along the way he took the 5th - 96 times in just one court suit....that is 34 times more than John Gotti did at his criminal trials.
