No, they're not, but the fact still stands that bankruptcies make up only a small portion of his total businesses, even when taking away ones he's only licensed his name to.

CNN (notoriously anti-Trump) calculates Trump has created around 34,000 jobs.

Not sure where the 100-200 people statistic comes from, but it seems a little on the low side.
There are plenty of things to criticize Trump about, but making things up to make him look bad reflects badly on the person making things up, not on Trump.
- xapata 10y ago"Responsible for" is different than employed by. The article you linked says he employs 22k people, not 34k. Either way, that's much larger than 200. I did a brief search for "Trump Organization employees" and can't find the article I read last week. So, my apologies, I'll just have to say that I read it in a reputable newspaper. Still, I find it plausible that Trump Organization directly employs a handful of people and the rest of the 22k are employees of subsidiaries.
