This would mean to adopt the most Trumpfriendly picture imaginable (he saves his poor buddies that want to party and do not know where) and treat it as the undisputable truth of the matter. First, one needs to believe him when he says "at cost", and there is zero rational reason to believe anything Trump says. That is not a biased statement. There simply isn't.

Also, "at cost" seems a fishy assumption to begin with, even if that were true (and not just said because otherwise, it would be breaking the law). Even "at cost", he gets a property rented out that usually is not, especially at the time. Also, detour profitability is probably the biggest factor in deals like this one.

Credit to Trump for blatantly promoting his own property. Pshaw.

Many Trump supporters use this "credit" tactic to take the edge off whatever Trump did.

Trump backs out of Turkey knowing there would be a slaughter of the Kurds...then gets a five day timeout so the remaining Kurds can flee the land that Turkey want to steal from them and we should give him "credit" for the peace.

Trump throws children in cages and separates from their families to the point that they can't find the families...then stops it and we should give him "credit" for stopping.
