The Myth Of Donald Trump The Winner (And How He Treats Those He’s Hurt)
The Lid ^ | 2/11/16 | Jeff Dunetz

Posted on 02/12/2016 8:16:30 AM PST by pookie18

Part of the Donald Trump appeal is that he is a great businessman, and he certainly has taken his dad's business and grown it to big heights. But Trump is less of a business manager, and more of a marketing genius-a PT Barnum. He knows what to say and do to promote. It's why he is leading in the polls, and why he gets all the free airtime from the media.

His record as a COO/Manager, etc. is uneven. He has built businesses and he has destroyed them, as witnessed by his four bankruptcies. The Donald will correctly say he has never filed for bankruptcy. What he has done is driven a business into the ground causing the business to go belly up.

Donald Trump is a great "talker" and promoter, and to be perfectly honest that is part of what we need in America. Certainly in his effort to become president he has talked an excellent game and so far he has been lucky that there has been few attempts to back up his promoting skills.

America needs need much more than a promoter and bloviator, we need someone who can "manage," and the record shows Trump is not the best at managing.

Trump keeps saying he is a winner/he doesn't lose…That's not true, including the four bankruptcies, here are twelve times where he has lost:

So what!

In business you win some and you will definitely lose some. As long as you win more than you lose is all that matters.

Love it a toon! YEAH! No. If that’s only choice I’m going to watch a movie on election day.

Pretty much the same with DJT. The only real difference is BS is honest as in you know what you are getting. With the other fellow, as some one put it, its all about expectations based on assumptions based on wishful thinking.

And I see one of Trump's strong considerations for Vice President - Kanye West has been misbehaving again too. . .

But hopefully when he said he would be a great VP running mate - it was just another Trump "wild-card" say anything statement. I wonder how we will really know if he meant that or not, like many of his daily statements? Or if we can start to consider a Trump/ Kanye West ticket?

Now that's funny right there .

But with the Trump/Kanye West ticket their slogan would most certainly be - - "Yes we F#*@&g Can!! "

Or possible - - the "We are winners, the rest of you are losers! " ticket.

"What if the creditors already lost their money before Trump took over?"

Then Trump wouldn't have to declare bankruptcy or default, which he did, many times.

If this is being tried in California, Trump’s net work is going to take a significant hit. California has some of the toughest consumer protection laws in the country.

I’m not nice. Where do you fall on the Cruzberger’s spectrum? Most seem to be light switch flickers and ceiling fan watchers. For some of the others, there OCD requires their unread copies of the Constitution and Federalist papers to be at least uncreased and preferably laminated. Get some help y’all.

You watch what the Two Faced womanizer does......He'll file Bankruptcy to avoid the fines. Because it's the Trump way. Lie, cheat and STEAL!

Then he can again claim, HEY I NEVER FILED PERSONAL Bankruptcy before.

And his acolytes that are whining about Cruz's Campaign workers tweets about Carson will say hey it's just Business.

Yeah Screwing over kids for thousands of dollars, getting caught by the States and the Law and hiding behind Bankruptcy is just the price of doing business N.Y. Style.

You can’t steal Second base while keeping one foot safely on First. And occasionally you get picked off.

Typical Trumpeter - assuming its the only one with an education, assuming that if one of its kind is nice, it has a sworn duty to reaffirm the Trumpeter code of nastiness, and then making no rational sense in the wording of its reply - like it never got past 6th grade English.
