“Last week we learned that the Republican presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, actually rooted for the collapse of the housing market just before the Great Recession wrecked our economy. In 2007, before the crash, Donald Trump said he was excited about the housing market crash because ``I've always made more money in bad markets than in good markets.'' Today we don't know if he made money or not because, unlike Presidential candidates for decades, Donald Trump refuses to release his income tax returns. In fact, there is one report that suggests that he paid no income taxes in 1 year. Even worse, his own company, Trump Mortgage, actually pushed people into subprime mortgages. Millions of people lost their homes in the housing crisis, and 8.4 million Americans lost their jobs, but Donald Trump was the winner. He is doing what he does best--putting himself above everybody else. He does not want to make America great. Donald Trump wants to make Donald Trump richer. ____________________”
