Popular Post Lacessit Posted March 10 Popular Post Share Posted March 10 (edited) 52 minutes ago, spidermike007 said: Denial is a very powerful thing, in the face of truth. It can be over powering. Nearly everything he touches fails. 17 of his businesses have failed in the past few decades. Some at huge losses. Trump Steaks, Trump Shuttle Airline ($120 million in losses between 1988 and 1990), GoTrump, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage, Trump University, Trump Ice, The New Jersey Generals, Tour de Trump, Trump Network, Trump Magazine, Trumped!. Many businesses that licensed his name went bankrupt, or went out of business. And he had between four and six major bankruptcies (depending on the source), including the Trump Taj Mahal (which he spent $1.2 billion building, and was $3 billion in debt within a year of opening), Trump's Castle, Trump Place Hotel (which was very successful prior to Trump buying it in 1988, and he managed to put it into $550 million in debt by 1992!), Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts ($1.8 billion in debt by 2004, bankrupt in 2009) , and Trump Entertainment Resorts. There are likely others. And this does not take into account the 3,600 lawsuits he was involved in as of the time he took office, the vast majority of which were filed by small contractors against his companies for non payment, or total default. Many of these contractors were crushed. It is part of his M.O. Nearly anything with his name on it, and his association with it, fails. And that will be even more so, after he loses the November 3rd election. His name will remain radioactive, the the rest of his life, and the mini empire will continue to dwindle. During the period from 1985 to 1989, three years of which were boom year in NY real estate, he somehow managed to lose $359 million. Between 1990 and 1991 he lost $517 million. And between 1992 and 1995 he again managed to lose $286 million. The real irony of his whole persona, is that he cannot negotiate his way out of a paper bag, much less negotiate a treaty with an adversary, which makes him very dangerous. As I understand it, Trump's pattern is to pick up failing businesses, then persuade investors and contractors to put in their money, time and materials. While he takes on huge debt to finance improvements to the businesses, very little of it is his own money. He then extracts large salaries and management fees while the going is good. When the business starts failing because it cannot service the debt, he walks away, having made money by swindling investors, bondholders and contractors. The New Jersey Generals was a really special case. Not only did he bankrupt his own team, he also sent the entire league broke. I should imagine most serious investors would be wise to him now. As you say, he is radioactive in most quarters. It's actually quite tragic he is reduced to selling cards and gold sneakers, probably to people who can least afford it. You reap what you sow.

He must have had a great life. Not sure how any of it is tragic. Tragic would be a 78yo who did nothing with their life. Plenty of people like that around. Millions of Thais in Isaan who have never been to Chiang Mai or Phuket let alone overseas or had money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it's common with Trump haters. LOL Nice deflection If you don't like my manners you should put me in my place by proving me wrong, go ahead, pick one thing I said and prove it wrong. And I don't blame you for not knowing about the magnet comments or all the other, Where would you hear them? Not on faux news, and not from Megyn Kelly You are right about the manners thing . I have been listening to this maga crap for a big part of my life, I thought , these people are not morons, sooner or later are going to get it. Well it is later, eight years later and you all still don't seem to get it.,regurgitating the same old crap. So excuse me if I lost my passions. I had enough!! reasoning has not worked so IMO it is time for a new approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call it tragic when you buy a derelict golf course, re-open it, then play a couple of rounds, and claim you are the inaugural club champion. People who are the real deal consider that pathetic, everyone in the golfing world is laughing at his pretensions. Have you ever looked at his golf swing? It reminds me of someone digging for gophers. Edited March 10 by Lacessit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVENKEEL Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 For the average Joe in the US, whether joe or Mr Trump become POTUS their lives won't change.
