Trumps never been a successful businessman. I mean the guy bankrupted a casino, how the hell do you bankrupt a casino? The whole business model behind a casino is that people walk in and willfully hand over there money.

Where he’s success really lies is with selling the Trump name as a brand and though becoming arguably the most controversial US president in history has become one of the most famous people on earth. Now he can even sell Trump collector cards at $100 a pop and make a killing.

Not bad considering if hadn’t run for president most people under 30 wouldn’t even know who he was and everyone else would just remember him as some washed up b-grade reality tv show star.

so he isn't a billionaire?

I'm not sure if you have the mental capacity to grasp what this thread is about, but I asked to see where Trump had gained financial success while he was president. That has been the charge, but the numbers don't reflect that. And your post here only solidifies that Trump didn't gain anything, but lost. Running for President ruined him, and that coupled with the casino loss, might put him in a bread line. I'll refer others to your post when winning this argument. Thanks for providing the unequivocal proof needed.

I know you won't be back, it's too techie to be able to re-enter a thread, some folks have trouble with all these "computer" things. But I do want to thank you for proving my OP the way I was hoping it would go. As can be seen, Trump lost money being president, and since he wasn't in office after 2021, your visual aid shows exactly how much he lost serving the nation.

He must be a true patriot to sacrifice his wealth for you.

Divesting all Trump's holdings was virtually impossible. Trump's holdings compared to other Presidents is 1000x more and 10,000x more complicated. 💥 Plus all the various government investigations made it even more impossible. ☠️

the good thing is, this time, he won't give a rats ass what the #tards think. Just be president, do president sh!t, and MAGA!

So, all of the major banks and financial institutions were stepping all over each other to get his business because of...what?
They're stupid?
They considered his financials to be some of the best they've ever seen.

You have a weird way of defining successful.

He was even talking about running in the 80s wasnt he? Because America was already going downhill. He said he wouldn't run unless he felt like he had to. I think. Thats what I'm remembering. I dont think it was money related but could have been. I just feel like millionaires who can just do whatever they want wouldnt actively choose to do all the jobs of the president. Its a lot of work people dont realize. Thats why they all seem to age 20 years in the span of 4 like Obama and Clinton.

I know if I was a multi-millionaire I would be on a beach somewhere soaking in the sun not doing what is basically a 24/7 job for very little pay relatively speaking.

Not really. Trump just wouldn't give up control, because then others might know how poor he was as a businessman. It was mostly façade.

Trump inherited the equivalent of what today would be worth an estimated billion, and his holdings aren't worth that much more today. Very few of his business ideas ever turned a profit, and what he has today was propped up with fraud and deception, which he thinks is 'doing business'.

If Donald Trump had passed away, his businesses would have continued, and just passed to other hands.

And he's not a great businessman:

You just contradicted yourself. 😀

a reply to: chr0naut

Trump inherited the equivalent of what today would be worth an estimated 24 billion

Where's the quote on that figure? Can you post the quote. 😃 The article you posted does not have that.

Can you show me some proof that the banks and financial institutions have ever considered Trump's financials are some of the best they have ever seen?

In terms of economic performance, Trump businesses are not in the top performers, and never have been. His most successful businesses have been his golf courses.

Why do you keep posting articles that are asking for money to read?????? What's your magic point ?? 🤣🤣🤣

Is this some kind of new tactic that you think nobody will notice??

Is this a little game you are playing with somebody????

Think I read somewhere he inherited like 450 million, turned it into multi billions prior to being president, even with all the companies that went bankrupt.

Also I would wager the majority of those "bankruptcies" were calculated moves on his least profitable properties to get some sort of tax break.

The $125 million loan went ahead, with one banker writing in an email that Trump had “among the strongest personal balance sheets we have seen.”

He was doing Pizza Hut commercials before he became President, true billionaires don’t need to do that.

No real point posting links about his wealth because it’s all just speculation anyway. Only thing we can be sure of is he inherited a fortune and has never really been that successful apart from making the Trump brand famous.

Just look at Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. A company which is running at a loss and never has any prospect of making a profit, yet as of today is still listed as being worth over 3 billion, simply because Trump is associated with the company.

Wow, what a compelling and thought provoking argument… surely you didn’t just come up with that off the top of your head.

You really think Duetche Bank is a shining example?

The bank that was fined fined $630 million in 2017 for accepting over $10 billion from Russian customers, which regulators said was linked to money laundering activity?

And still loaned to Trump even though he defaulted over 650m on loans? The same bank that told an employee not go forward with 100s of SARS for the Trump family?

The bank with multiple suicides, including a whistleblower and his father previous to him, who also worked at the bank?

Man you really don't understand those Pizza Hut commercials do you. 🤣🤣

Well Deutsche Bank was just treating everybody equally and not discriminating against people with money. Weren't they? 😀
