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

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:

I agree he is a promoter first but any successful business man takes risks and sometimes those risks fail. Stock pickers sometimes pick bad stocks. Baseball pitchers sometimes pitch bad throws. If he never failed be would never take risks.

The real issue is does he learn from his failures and avoid them in the future. He failed in Iowa, does he learn from that in other states?

You sound like Shepard Smith - a little louder and we can hear whimpering and sniveling.

"If he never failed be would never take risks."

I'll concede that, but, a true leader takes responsibilities for his failures, and doesn't stiff the creditors. He wouldn't be nearly so rich if he had manned up, and paid back his losses.

Oh my! Thank you put-together-monkey you are so much nicer that some of those other Trumpeters who do not like to hear a discouraging word about the would-be tyrant of their choice.
