His net worth is in the billions. How bad a businessman can he be? And he got it by building things, not through politics.

No. For all the years the democrats have desperately been trying to find SOME dirt on him with which to go after him, they have found NOTHING.

That alone tells me that he did his business dealings with honesty and some level of integrity.

I know he's been accused of less than ethical business moves, but since I never followed him, I have no idea what they were or how true it was.

I am in the hospitality industry and there are left leaning people I know who claim he stiffed vendors on hotel construction and FF&E purchases. I think a lot of this had to do with his Atlantic City Casino property that was managed by his first wife. I think that venture bankrupted. So there are likely some butthurt contractors and others as a result.
Most people look at it as a cost or liability of doing business. Me personally, on behalf of my vendors I try to collect full payment before shipment to any hotel property and other businesses as well. If the vendor extends delayed payment terms, that is a risk they take.
Downside for me, if the vendor gives these generous terms and the client does not pay…I lose my commission as well. I have no say over this.
I think any who lost payment and commission on Atlantic City are resentful and angry at Trump.
Greed drives vendors to extend credit that endangers their own business… I agree with and remember a former employer telling me ‘I am not a bank! If they want credit go to a bank!’ Unfortunately in my world vendors compete and seek to be awarded prestigious projects and agree to payment terms that jeopardize their companies.

They are constantly saying he used his office as President to enriched himself. In what way? Can’t seem to get specifics like a lot of things they say about Trump. It sure looks like they all find some way to enrich themselves through their public office. Joe? Nancy - how much is the Witch of Endor worth now?
