I don't know how much of this stems from America's latent hatred of business.

It's not hatred for business; it's hatred for dishonestly gaming the system to get rich by taking wealth from others, as opposed to building it. Look at David Packard by comparison. NOBODY criticizes him for how he went about building HP. Similarly, James J. Hill is lionized as a hero for the way he built Great Northern Railway, while Cornelius Vanderbilt is properly reviled as a crony capitalist. There are those who create and build and those who simply manipulate, grab, and accumulate.

So, look at Trump's record in business and what you'll see is a grandstanding crook who didn't make it as big as he claims. Hardly someone to emulate, much less elevate.

OMG this crap again. Business is business - it’s only immoral when you don’t do it right. Did you read the article? Did you like the Hawaii way or the still in business airline doing it the right way. If Trump was a crook with all the people like you out there and all the lefty Manhattan DA’s and US Atty’s he’d have been in jail a long time ago.

Are you planning to carry your hatred beyond the primaries and into the general election? What if Trump is the next president? Will you hate him then, too?
