Quote from: Hakurei Reimu on January 05, 2017, 10:20:43 AMHe managed to bankrupt himself 6 times.
Technically, his companies went bankrupt, not him.  And a lot of those were tied to the struggling Atlantic City gambling industry.

But yeah, he's not all that great of a businessman.  In fact, his main skill seems to be marketing.  He might've made money as a businessman, but his true wealth was made by selling his name.

Ultimately, the businessman angle is irrelevant.  It wouldn't matter if he was the best CEO on the planet - being President is an entirely different ballgame.

If you want to really be scared, just remember this: Congress has just told him he can govern by tweet, in the haste with which they backed down from their proposed ethics office rules.  Never mind that it was (inexplicably) the right thing to do, they have told the bully that they are willing to be bullied.

Congress has been chicken shit for 2000 years, except to President Andrew Johnson, and President Bill Clinton.

When Trumpette is sworn in he will be the Establishment. I'm going have fun watching him drain his own swamp.

Some contortionists can auto-fellatio.  I suspect some politicians can do that too.

oh yes donald trump barnkruptcy artist. so history is repeating. last dunce in the big chair Harry Truman bankrupted every biz he tried to start before a rich friend of the family got him chosen as a senator. I dont think liquidating Trump Tower will be enough to offset the disaster of DonRump sitting in the big chair
"Do you believe in god?", is not a proper English sentence. Unless you believe that, "Do you believe in apple?", is a proper English sentence.

I would take Truman back in an Independence Missouri minute!  And Ike ... I Like Ike!  You simply have no taste in corrupt politicians (they are all corrupt).

i know, i know. corruption is a job requirement for politicians.

and getting rid of Trump by impeachment isnt gonna change much. we might go from someone wrecking things because he doesnt know what he is doing to someone wrecking things that does know what he is doing. is it worse to have president Trump or president Pence?

Pence is a homophobic cunt.  Trump is a bigoted cunt.  Either way, we're stuck with a cunt.

OK. What is it that he is trying to convince people and why is he not convincing?
