What's his success rate with the number of his businesses that were successful vs the number that went through bankrupcy? It’s important to note that not all of Trump’s unsuccessful businesses went through bankruptcy. Bankruptcy: The Trump Taj Mahal The Trump Plaza The Trump Castle The Plaza Hotel (different from Trump Plaza) The Trump Hotel and Casino Resort Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. Other failures: Trump Airlines Trump Vodka Trump Steaks Trump University Trump Mortgage GoTrump.com New Jersey Generals football team Trump: The Game Trump Magazine Trump Ice Tour de Trump Trump Network Trumped! Truth Social (just give it time) In fairness, Trump has made some smart and shrewd real estate deals over the years. Like 40 Wall Street. Although even then, there’s a whole bunch of “ugly” surrounding those deals. Like lenders getting stiffed (which is why most large U.S. banks will no longer do business with the Trump Organization), vendors not being paid (something that happened with alarming frequency), and all other manner of getting ahead by screwing other people. And funny enough, most of Trump’s wealth hasn’t even come from shrewd business deals, but rather from Trump simply licensing his name, likeness and image. In that light, while Trump likes to claim “I lost a lot of money by being POTUS”, nothing could be further from the truth. Being POTUS was (indirectly) where more than half of his current net worth came from. There have been many highly-detailed articles and papers written about Trump’s business history. In essence, he isn’t completely incompetent with business as some on the left want to believe, and he also isn't anything even close to the business genius his fans believe him to be. Finally, it’s worth reminding everyone that Trump didn’t start with $1M of loaned money as he claims. He inherited the equivalent of $413M (in 2018 dollars). If you take into account what he started with and look at what he has today, it’s not at all remarkable. His total ROIC (return on invested capital) is around 4% annually. Literally almost the same return you’d get by investing in very safe T-Bills, and far below the return he’d get by simply putting that money in a S&P 500 index fund. Is Trump wealthy? Absolutely. Is he a business genius? Not even close. |

Trump is not a failure unless we are going to talk about the govt employee record… then he was a flop. One and done loser. Flopped on just about everything he promised.
Told everyone the election was stolen via a coup. Walked out without a fight. Lost his court cases and stole millions of dollars. He’s doing the same scam now… people are dumb. |

I never said you specifically started threads but you sure do post in many of them and then whine about them. As far as safe threads, maybe. But there sure have been a lot of guys hitting the report button over them over the years. The funniest ones are guys who get all crazy about Trump's very own quotes.

Kim is a pretty great businesswoman. People don't want to give her credit for that, because she is also a whore, but she is pretty great at business. And she and the Donald have "scaled" aka expanded their business significantly. Relatively broke people here (like me) wanna pretend that holding or expanding wealth is not significant... It is very rare and difficult to do. This is especially true with intergenerational wealth like the Trump's have... And that's in no small part due to the Donald. Say what you want about the guy. He has plenty of flaws. But he did not squander his father's work. Instead, his children will be much better off than he was. That is something I think a lot of us aspire to, albeit on a smaller scale. Most rich kids are spoiled brats who never work hard and do nothing but squander their inheritance. |
