How could anyone think that a man who blew through an enormous inheritance and went bankrupt six times would be qualified to have control of the taxpayer-funded US TREASURY? How could anyone put financial trust in a man whose business resume includes more failures than successes?
Trump is also known as a gluttonous spender, debtor, and lawsuit addict. If you listen closely, all he talks about is spending, debt, investing, buying, trading, and billion-dollar lawsuits. The topics he talks about most are the ones that financially cost “we the people”, not him. His excitement over spending OUR money on the antiquated idea of building a ballroom that future generations of government officials couldn’t care less about is creepy and self- serving. Unnecessary renovations to the reflecting pool, the Eisenhower Bldg, the Kennedy Center, the now gaudy Oval office, and the bizarre Arch monument are evidence that when he is sitting down at the Resolute Desk, he is not thinking about the needs of the American people’s financial woes ( as he recently admitted), the price of groceries, gas, housing, or healthcare. HE IS SITTING THERE AS IF HE IS IN HIS OLD JOB AS A BUILDER, RIPPING OFF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE JUST LIKE HE RIPPED OFF CONTRACTORS, INVESTORS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, AND BANKS.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMP KNOWING THAT HE SUCKED AT BUSINESS SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY REFUSES TO ELECT A WOMAN FOR PRESIDENT? IT IS WIDELY BELIEVED THAT ANY MALE OPPONENT WOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE VOTES THAN TRUMP IN 2016 AND 2024 ELECTIONS.

SOME OF TRUMP’S BUSINESS FAILURES:
- Trump Shuttle: Launched in 1989, the airline struggled with heavy debt, low passenger volume, and severe competition, defaulting on its loans and ceasing to exist as a Trump property by 1992.
- Trump University: Founded in 2005, this real-estate education venture shut down in 2010 amid multiple lawsuits and fraud investigations, ultimately resulting in a settlement for former students.
- Trump Steaks: Launched in 2007, this premium meat brand was sold through QVC and Sharper Image but was discontinued just two months later due to incredibly low sales.
- Trump Mortgage: Opened in 2006 to capitalize on the housing boom, the firm closed after just 18 months as the housing market crashed.
- Trump Vodka: A premium vodka line launched in 2006. It struggled to gain market traction and was discontinued.
- GoTrump.com: A travel-booking website founded in 2006 that never gained significant market share and was closed in 2007.
- The Trump Network: A multi-level marketing company acquired by Trump in 2009 that sold vitamins and health supplements. It struggled to meet sales goals and was sold at a loss in 2012.
- Trump: The Game: A Monopoly-style board game released by Milton Bradley in 1989 and briefly re-released during The Apprentice era; both iterations were pulled from shelves due to poor sales.
- Trump Ice: A bottled water company that was mostly used at Trump properties before it was eventually discontinued.
Conversely, maybe Trump voters and corrupt Republican elected officials got duped into believing Trump’s con of the century and the rest of the country and the world are paying for it. Why did they do it, and why are they continuing to support the greed, criminality, warmongering, grifting, constitutional violations, racism, rigging elections and the Epstein file cover-up?
At this point, it is the corrupt enabling by the Republican party and Republican voters that is responsible for all the harm that has been done to our democracy by their aging, narcissistic, greedy, violent autocrat who scares them like the boogeyman scares small children. They are all now permanently stained politically and morally.
Retribution won’t be so cool when or if they become the targets of those they have willfully harmed.
