His net worth is said to be $3, 700, 000, 000 and you expect us to believe he's a business failure? Par for the course.

Not said to be $3.7 billion by Donald, he claims it's $10 billion lol. How much different is he to many prairie farmers that inherited family land, carried on the family business and watched real estate appreciation multiply that original asset value exponentially? How successful can a businessman be if he doesn't generate a tax bill in 20 years and that's after ripping off workers, contractors and others he did business with along the way?

Thankfully it's not my circus, not my clown.

Yea the media says he is a failure because he declared bankruptcy twice. Twice from 500 businesses sounds like a good track record to me.

It's not like he goes bankrupt in all the companies individually so 2 out 500 is a good score! - he has been bankrupt twice, completely bankrupt. That's not a record I'd be proud of or one that indicates good business acumen.

As for ripping of contractors, in the two or three businesses that failed it sounds like a good track record to me. He would have contracted with one person that would have subcontracted with other people. They sign a contract if with the main contractor if he does not get paid they do not get paid. I forget the percentage of contractors that do not get paid but they work it into their price. We all pay a extra price when we hire someone incase they accidentally screw something up or don't get paid.

Also think about this. The media was calling him down for his locker room talk . But who has more dignity him or Hillary? Trump has been with his wife since 1992 I think, and they have a loving relationship. Bill is still screwing around and they are together for other reasons... Who lives their truth?

Yep, i'm sure with all of trump's businesses and all the thousands of people he's dealt with over the years, i'm sure there's some that don't like him. Wow, i'm impressed grass farmer, you almost convinced me that trump is a poor business man. Sheesh!

You seem easily confused may-be. Trump was married to Ivana until 92, but having an extramarital affair with Marla Maples at the same time before marrying the mistress in 93. They split in 99 and he married the current one in 2004. Living his truth indeed lol.
