Trumps business failure rate is around 10 percent.
Not bad considering the average business failure rate is above 80 percent.

It happens. The difference is he had a business and it folded. It sucks but again it can happen. He did do something every other president has done though and that is invest in garbage or companies that disappear.
Solyndra anyone? Obamas and then Bidens...

You know there are two different basic ways to file in the US right?
The firm most famously assembles electric buses out of its South Carolina facility, where Biden received a virtual tour in 2021. In February, the president also announced CEO Joyce's appointment to the White House's Export Council, which advises on matters of overseas trade.
Joyce's appointment was celebrated by the Biden administration, who hailed the CEO for "growing Proterra’s EV battery manufacturing footprint in the United States and accelerating the transition of transit and other commercial vehicles to zero emission solutions."

A quick search says that there were almost 4,100 lawsuits brought against him for things like nonpayment (which is theft, which isn't legal), contract disputes from Trump University (you may remember that one), employment issues (failing to pay employees overtime... which is against the law), etc, etc.

That's fine then. Only 6?
Oh:
"The New York Times, which conducted an analysis of regulatory reviews, court records, and security filings, found otherwise, however. It reported in 2016 that Trump "put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses, and other payments.
"The burden of his failures," according to the newspaper, "fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen."
Poor sods, eh?

That is, up until now! Now, everything he touches is going to be investigated for anything, any thing, that'll hold him up in courts. It'll all magically disappear on November 6th, 2024. ( mark my words, Mr. Lawyer )

Am I understanding this correctly?

No switching. Just is.
