"The catalyst for that idea was Mitchell Schultz, a former New Yorker who is now a “space tourism consultant” in Florida.

Schultz imagined a show tentatively called Trump Takeover. Plotlines—which Schultz developed with the help of a writer friend, Louis Cimino—were prescient
“We wrote some stories—’SuperTrump,’ that kind of thing,” Cimino recalls. “I wrote the stories—‘[Trump] solves the gang problem in New York and fights the aliens,’ stuff like that. I just remember the gist. He saves the city; he saves the Yankees. I wrote whole episodes with the dialogue.” Cimino says he “did it as a goof. I did it for fun.”

Within 18 months of opening its doors, Trump Mortgage was forced to close,
leaving a wealth of unpaid bills, hundreds of people cheated out of their homes,
In subsequent interviews, Trump laid the blame for the failure at the feet of everyone but himself

He even suggested that he was forced into this scheme,
saying that the mortgage business wasn't one that he "particularly liked or wanted to be part of in a very big way."

As axiomatic as it may seem,
Donald Trump makes everything he touches worse than it was before.
Trump has no purpose beyond his own glorification and enrichment.
Let's just say, as lawyers may do, that his machinations are calculated for no other purpose
than his own glorification and enrichment.

Stranger Trump
Back in 2006 Trump envisioned an animated t.v series about himself saving the world
!!
"Trump Takeover" was to be an animated series focused on Trump fighting for truth, justice, and social causes
Luulllz.... 'scuse
Trump sees himself as an SJW who get's by with a little help from his cronies
One episode , "Strike 3 ... You're Fired" takes places in an America,
on a "downward slide to oblivion"
The Donald is the 'savior' to uplift the nation

With absolutely no interest from any broadcaster
the idea was canned
Still on a roll, in '88, Trump having had enough of flying private,
decided to treat himself to an airline,
no less (!!!)
Air Shuttle, a struggling New York, air-shuttle company,
was bought and renamed "Trump Shuttle,"
Trump there-upon made two huge (yuge) errors :
bad mouthed other airlines as being dangerous,
then made his own planes own planes even-more so
During the Trump Shuttle launch party, In a jumbled rant, Trump told reporters that Pan Am (his closest competitor)
'... was a danger to life, limb, and luggage, saying, "I wouldn't fly them; they're losing money and their planes are *old.""
In typical Trump fashion, The Donald insisted on an entire re-fit
leather seats, faux marble sinks, veneer paneling.
The in-flight service was also re-thought :
a three-drink service and a gourmet breakfast/lunch
all for a 45 minute flight
Of course, Trump being tRump,
he also redesigned the stewardesses' outfits ..
more cleavage and highly sexualised
yeah baby, now you're flying with Trump!
With the costs of these improvements,
the competitiveness of the service,
and the reputation damage caused by a crash in '88,
due to landing gear failures,
Trump Shuttle lost $128 million within 18 months
It took two and a half years before Trump was forced to give up the airline which was bought out by U.S. Airways ...

Buy one get one almost free
2006, during the "Apprentice" phenomenon Trump embarked on a crusade
helping people buy their own homes
Ultimately, Trump Mortgage was revealed to be a flim-flam scam,
a brokerage firm that did nothing, owned nothing, needed to take zero risks,
and only existed as a way to con money from struggling families and business owners.
"Business was so good" that Trump held massive parties and bragged about how
"the real estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come."

Let's just skip over "Trump", the magazine, and it's debacle
NeXt
Trump World Studios!
Trump whinges and whines about "Holywood Elites", right ?
yet he's happy enough to rent out his properties as long as he has a cameo appearence n each and every film turned on his premises
Ramping up the hypocrasy to a deafening 11,
kjhkjhTrump was looking to spend other people's money in Trump Studios
Yes sireee
Ahhh wouldda been ... If
the whole thing was quietly dropped
having incurred millions of dollars in architectural fees.

Take the risks, see what works. It was his money he wasted, right?

Trump is so insane. I want to see what kind of paintings he would make. Or maybe sculpture. I bet he's brutal.

She would CRUSH him in a debate, sadly.
