Who said he was unsuccessful? Unless you think his success makes him any less of an arsehole...

It's not as if there's no evidence for him having unsuccessful ventures.
There's the airlines: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/21/bu...n-shuttle.html The board games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdY31mDsBmU (sold less than half of the original 2m produced) Three bankrupted casinos: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/6556470/#.VfsP5p1Viko The branded vodka: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/05/fa...hake.html?_r=0 The shambles of a university: http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...y-faculty.html The travel booking website that lasted less than a year: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...012700764.html Notoriously, the steaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyONt_ZH_aw A magazine that lasted two years: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/poli...icle-1.2528638 The bright idea to open a mortgage company 2 years before the real estate market collapse: https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...9ad_story.html |
Successful businessmen and women,don't always impress me nor command respect generally,, some of those I have been in the presence of, who are 'apparently' hugely successful,I found some of them to be among the worst people you could ever have the misfortune to come across in life.
So the opening post does little to impress me or endear me to Trump in any way whatsoever. |
Its a fiar point to make. He's constantly talking about how successful he is and this apparently qualifies him for government but if his wealth is based on over valueing his assets than the public need to know. |
Wow. I suppose what some people see as success is a bit weird.

I'd love to have someone like Trump in charge of my business but what has that got to do with running an entire country? |

What boggles my mind is the handful of British posters on BB who are rabidly pro Trump.
Its not only Americans who are buying what Trump is selling and appear to be dedicated to defending his bizarre twaddle about massive tariffs,trade wars, and buying back the debt at a discount as if they were the most brilliant ideas on the planet. I really think logic has been suspended for the duration of this American election. |

3500 lawsuits in 30 years. His companies have been in over 100 tax disputes.

Hopefully, when Trump loses in November and brings down the the rest of the republicans up for election, republican leadership might take the next post mortem assessments a bit more. seriously.

BTW Mitt Romney is a fabulously wealthy business man comparable to Trump. No where near 3500 lawsuits when he ran in 2012. |

One of the best pro-Trump videos is this 300 parody video. Thought I would share it.
Brexit needs to make a similar video. |
..even as a businessman and disregarding his business failures, it would depend how 'success' is defined because boardroom/business deals aren't just about personal gain...they're about compromise/negotiations..and a 'good deal' for all/about listening to people and accommodating etc...everyone feeling that they have got what they needed out of the deal...Trump has never really showed any skill sets there that would say 'success' through this political process...he's all about Trump, he's all me, me, me.../look at me...does that character trait show any 'success' for a world leader..I have not seen anything in Trump that would say 'integrity', that would say he's a listener, a great negotiator or that he considers an America for the American people, but rather an America that he wants for himself to accommodate all of his fears, insecurities and prejudices...
...any flaws in Hilary as well, don't highlight anything positive in Trump..it just makes for a very bleak prospect either way...the only person I think who has any integrity or passion in their beliefs has been Bernie...the only one whose political background has not been me, me, me... |
