I have noticed that two of the criticisms the Left likes to make about Trump are:
1) He is an incompetent businessman who has been forced to declare bankruptcy more than once.
2) He can’t relate to normal people because he’s never suffered a set back in his life.
They don’t seem to see the irony in these twin statements. As this article indicates, a market economy (”capitalism”) allows some to rise and some fall based on merit. This vibrancy is the only way an economy can stay healthy. Life is a test. Every day. No one aces the test every day, but over the long haul, the best emerge as winners.
1) He is an incompetent businessman who has been forced to declare bankruptcy more than once.””’
IIRC,
Trump NEVER declared a total & overall personal bankruptcy. He did shut down his casinos in Atlantic City & declare bankruptcy there. The main reason? The Indians in all the states were allowed to open their OWN CASINOS on any acreage they could call their native land. Sprinkling all those casinos hurt Atlantic City & Las Vegas.
Trump had just done a very expensive remodel on his Atlantic City holdings, IIRC, and he bailed out before it became a black hole.
2) He can’t relate to normal people because he’s never suffered a set back in his life.
Depending on your definition of a setback, that also isn’t true, IMO. He had very public divorces. He lost his brother, who I think he cared very much about. He has had other business interests that didn’t pan out as well as he wanted them to.
His biggest mistake IMO? Involving himself to any degree with Omarosa.
I leave all of you to your own thoughts about her. I cannot stand her.
