The Businessman

Donald Trump has focused on creating an image of a successful businessman.  This image is worth looking at.  A successful businessman creates businesses like Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, or Amazon.  These businesses have brought their creators and initial investors untold millions of dollars and on a daily basis, rewards thousands, if not millions of employees with decent jobs and the attending benefits that go with decent jobs.  So it is not unusual to take a look at the businesses created by Donald Trump.  For example, Trump Steaks, Trump Water, Trump University, Trump magazine, Trump Casinos, Trump Mortgages, Trump Airlines, Trump Vodka, or even the Trump pandemic response or, of course, the 2020 Trump presidential campaign.  Just how successful has Trump, the business creator been?  How many of the Trump businesses have come anywhere near the successes of, say Amazon?  How many Trump business founders are running around boasting of their entrepreneurial successes while, at the same time, enjoying the life that comes from an outstanding success?  It seems like Trump is setting up another con job if he plans to start another business.  Sadly, there are probably enough gullible Americans that plan to contribute hard earned money to fund another failed Trump venture.  Of course, like everything else he has promoted, not a penny of Trump money will go into any of his ventures.  The closest he will come to investing his own money is to borrow from a gullible bank or other lending institution so hurting for business that the lending institution will overlook Trumps failures or the lack of success of his existing business yet to fail.  Trump will attempt to sell shares in his new, social media venture and yo can be certain he will personally pocket a good share of the initial investment.  Oh well, like PT BArnum said, there are fools born...etc.
