Piece of 💩💩💩💩💩

Why wouldn't he sell his island and other things, too bail his own ass out. He doesn't even live here. Does he pay taxes in America? I don't think he does. He shouldn't be allowed to file anything here. File where you live. England..

Time to find another adventure, hook up with Elon for Space travel

No money for this criminal

Let it collapse. If he didn't save for a worse case scenario then the government shouldn't be expected to save him.

Mr Trump, reopen this Country! POTUS realDonaldTrump

Oh yes! My heart bleeds for Billionaires That need to declare corporate bankruptcy so as not to pay their bills Humpty Trumpty has that down to a science Shame Sir Richard needs to follow such an example

Gee....... Who should I dig up ? ................these 2 guys or Branson with Obama.......... (Things are getting a tab bit sticky over here....)

From riches to beggars.🤠

Should have sold Virgin Atlantic to Alaska too...

Ask Donald J Trump for some money, he says he's rich and he doesn't need any money so he gave back his paycheck to the government, but never proved it. I'm sure he can ask the Russians to give you a loan.

Why should the public pay for his capitalism errors

What? They didn't have six months saving socked away in case of an emergency?!
