He has over 500 successful businesses.

But hey I am sure you have 501 right Maria.

Really? Name just 5 of the 500. Go on...I dare you. 1% of this vast empire of success...or are you actually just counting how many shell LLCs he owns? Is $TRUMP one? Not a business, a pure grift. Is DJT (Truth Social) one? Explain the 100s of millions of dollars in losses with a revenue of under 10 million. Highly successful. Still, please - go ahad - tout for him!

And for future reference there is this magic thing called google or duckduckgo you punch in question, and it spits out responses do your own research.

Or are you not capable of setting aside your seething mind destroying anger?

Ben sez:

"Trump has as much shit for sale as the lead singer from kiss!"

Which one, Paul Stanley, or Chaim Witz (aka Gene Simmons)?

One of my favorite episodes of "The Apprentice" was when Trump told Gene, "You're fired." LOL!

I'm not much of a teevee watcher, but when we started watching that show on Netflix back in the day, I got hooked.

I believe it is Gene Simmons he hawks all sorts of junk.

You're exactly right about that. Good at marketing, but Gene is a TERRIBLE singer. Paul Stanley is the REAL DEAL. I once got to see him perform with his own band, some years ago. Man, was that a show! He owns the rights to a lot of the KISS catalogue, so he performed them as well as his own stuff.

He also, like I am, is a visual artist. I got to see some of his paintings at a gallery in Lahaina, Maui. Well, that's all shot to hell, now that the whole town burned down.

During the covid lockdown bullshit, he started up a new band, R&B, if you can believe it. Went out and performed anyway, fuck the lockdown bullshit. Good listening.

Did you know he is deaf in one ear?

I once dated a guy who said that when he dies, he wants to be cremated and have his ashes shot off at a KISS concert. LOFL!!!!!

Oh, yes...you're certainly "doing your own research". Please explain how the three casino bankruptcies or Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University or Trump Shuttle feature in this list of successes? You're so deep in the Kool-Aid, you actually BELIEVE he 'builds' things? He doesn't. He licenses his 'name' to other developers. The only building he can lay any claim to building is Trump Tower, which left hundreds of small-business contractors out of pocket, while he crewed the construction with illegal immigrants (who were also screwed for pay) and he overpaid for the cement because he was required to buy it form a Mafia outfit. Do some ACTUAL research, Ben.

I don't have to explain anything to you.

I will how ever tell you that a large percentage of businesses fold we have a family friend started several new businesses in a row and they all folded his last attempt made him a millionaire.

First Year: Around 20% of new businesses fail within their first year.

First Five Years: Approximately 50% of businesses fail within the first five years.

First Ten Years: Around 65% of businesses fail within the first ten years.

First 15 Years: Only about 25% of new businesses make it to 15 years or more.

First 20 Years: Nearly 80% of businesses fail within 20 years.

Again, Google is your friend something I doubt you have very many of at the moment.

Going out on a limb to say you never started a business and have never cut a paycheck for someone else.

SO Affected and angry you must be a joy to be around every time Trump gets up and starts talking.

Maria its called.......winning.

All your gas bagging and anger management issues aside it's going to be a LONG four years for you.

Go get some XANAX OR VALIUM YOU really NEED IT.

No matter what you say, Ben, she will not agree. Useless to try to reason with a hidebound TDS person. I live next to one and it is no use to the point of being violent. These TDS types are dangerous as we see on the news everyday.

John we can at least try until they show that even when smacked in the face with truth they refuse to change or admit error.

Maria has a real problem which is sad and so do many people in and around our lives.

Until I find Trump to be false and not doing what he says he will do I will support him no matter how many screeching cat ladies and soy boys complain about him or the people who work with him.

These people argued and LIED for a vegetable in the office of President just about anyone was going to be an improvement and I suspect Trump is the right man at the right time for a very tough and lets face it dangerous job.

Just an observation. We had a ghost president for four years, presented to the public by a group of Left wingnuts, and no one seemed to want to notice. Just exactly how many of the people living in DC are necessary? IMHO, we could fire 50% of the bureaucracy and no one would notice.

An example, the IRS converted to an internet inquiry system a few years past. Why? To be more productive, IOW to serve the public better with less people involved. Yeah, right, so Biden goes out and hires thousands of new IRS agents. DC is a sham, a very dark perverted, insidious sham.

"50%"? How about 95%?

Clueless. Utterly clueless. You have NO IDEA what this 'bureaucracy' does for YOU - yes, YOU,- every day. Read "Who Is Government" by Michael Lewis. And when JohnAZ's SS checks stop coming, I'll be really interested to hear what he has to say again then.

As SSA is a tax driven investment program, the government does not have the right to cut it off, Maria. It can control the onset, or the taxes paid, but they signed a тАЬcontract with me when they took out their first dollar from my paycheck. Same with Medicare.

Saying that, these heroes of yours in DC have managed to eff up AmericaтАЩs finances for generations. If TSHTF, I have enough other resources to handle the deflationary collapse of the country which your heroes have and will cause.

The worst thing that could happen to this country is for your heroes to ever get into power again. Even losses in 2026 to MAGA could cause the SHTF cascade to start after the Dems get their way again. Four years of Biden et al showed enough Americans to dump the SOBs, hopefully their collective memory is longer than two years.

I stand corrected, haha.

That's all correct, and this is a very important detail that most people forgot, or never knew.

Download that before it gets erased. It's surprising that it is still online there, but it is also still available in many other places too.

Trump buildings

Trump golf courses including in Scotland

Trump hotels including Las Vegas

Trump companies resurrect spent properties and renews them, renews old golf courses to save them, restructures outdated businesses, and builds ice skating rinks for the city of New York, ahead of schedule and under budget.

Anyone who says that he is not a successful businessman is a fool.
