".........Trump Nation is tired of failed transactions leaving only humiliation, disrespect, hardship, and despair. Trump Nation wants a transaction president.
Donald Trump knows transactions. Donald Trump advertises that he's not only a high stakes negotiator. Trump will save the nation in the grandest transaction yet.
It is that simple.
Just like Trump Airlines.
Recall Trump's promises in 1988 -- a lot more than a simple transaction in keeping the aging Eastern Airlines shuttle fleet flying. Trump promised luxury, convenience, style, personal touches, affinity to grandeur, and profitability.
Except for convenience, Trump delivered nothing else for which customers were willing to pay. The Trump Shuttle was a flaming financial wreck. Customers had already defected to upstart Pan Am. In desperation Trump trashed his rival, claiming Pam Am execs were losers, and Pan Am was unsafe. (Sound familiar?)
Soon enough, Donald Trump's transaction to transform the airline business was a bust. His most important transaction was confounding third party creditors in bailing out his personal guarantees.
Donald Trump's prefabricated brand is of the quintessential transactional leader. He's a master, even negotiating brilliant escape hatches when he fails.
Trump Airlines, perhaps Trump's boldest venture far removed from his core expertise, still displayed Trump's leitmotif -- engineering a brash makeover for an overvalued transaction to get into the airline game, unable to command the nuts-and-bolts knowhow needed to gain market share and stop bleeding margins, thus in desperation finally piloting a perilous landing, coaxed to the ground by Citibank controllers leaving the third party creditors, and employees, to find the exit row chutes, fending for themselves.".......

Funny how unimportant Iowa has become to Trump supporters.
You like her enough to constantly post stuff so why not make the list you’re so proud of?
I believe you misunderstand the definition of defame.
It implies saying negative and untrue things about someone.
CW has simply pointed out some of The Don’s ample faults.
No lies involved.
But plenty of lies about Ted Cruz.
Not a good idea to bring up social issues if you’re a Trump fan.
"Upstart Pan Am"?
The company founded in 1927?
America's largest international airline for six decades?
I know that's just a detail, but that's an incredible mistake for a writer to make.
No, I don’t like her at all. If you want a list, look it up yourself. I’m not wasting my time doing your homework for you. So, chew on that!!!
Funny how Senator Cruz' winning plurality in the Iowa caucus hasn't changed the sheer nastiness of the Cruz-only drones on FR.
How obtuse of you.
“Pointing out ample faults” is tantamount to defamation by any twisted understanding.
Iowa polling measures public support for the candidates not likely outcomes of the stupid caucuses. People who claim to plan to caucus are a multiple of the folks who actually do.
Oh, I’m so sorry that happened. How horrible that must’ve been for you! Hope you got help to cope with it.
I know two things for sure: 1) Politics ain’t beanbag. 2) Many Trump supporters, way too many, act like the Obama supporters of ‘08/’12.
