@dood111 saidHere is a list of his six bankruptcy filings which wiped away hundreds of millions of debt: https://www.thoughtco.com/donald-trump-business-bankruptcies-4152019
Name one debt he hasn't paid.
True, our laws allow rich fat cats to bankrupt companies they own and not pay its debts with their own assets. That's just the way they like it; the workers and small shareholders are the ones who get screwed.
Here's an another article showing that the Donald screwed contractors who worked on the Taj Mahal and never paid what they were owed. That was 30 years ago. https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/columnists/mike-kelly/2020/01/24/donald-trump-still-owes-money-to-contractors-who-built-taj-mahal-atlantic-city/4547037002/
There's plenty of articles just like that; here's one from the conservative Wall Street Journal though it is behind a paywall: https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-business-plan-left-a-trail-of-unpaid-bills-1465504454

@mchill saidYou know he can be both, don’t you?
President Trump is now squarely between a rock and a hard place with his finances. He can either admit to being a business failure (easily done since he's drowning in debt, with millions more coming due very soon) and try to justify his low tax bill, or face the fact the IRS is not going to swallow his claims that he can deduct 70K for hair treatments, nearly 1 mil. in consult ...[text shortened]... both ways. So, what will he be: Failure or Fraud?
Clue: The correct answer starts with an "F" 😏

@no1marauder saidA feature of British bankruptcy law is that one is barred from being a company director for seven years. There's two possibilities, either the US system doesn't have this, in which case it ought to, or it does which raises the question as to how the Donaldo escaped the rule?

Law? Laws. It is plural.

@deepthought saidI don't know the answer to that but if I had to venture a guess, I'd the US does not have such a law.
