Ah don't mind me.

My name came from some post on here. I forgot what it was originally, but somebody mangled what he was trying to say pretty badly. So I used the name.

Trump is a clever schemer, but he's not a grand strategist. This whole 3D, 4D, whateverD chess thing is giving him way to credit and trying to polish his blunders. Remember this guy has had massive business failures often because he take giant risks and they blow up on him. I'm from New York, I've seen this guy operate for years. He bankrupted a football league, not just his team, the league. The guy tried to run an airline at one point. Remember that 900 million dollar loss on his tax return. He took losses like that because in 1980s he was able to convince folks he was the man AND it was time of easy credit. So he borrowed like a maniac and stepped outside the business of real estate where he knew what he was doing. He went into the casino business and for some reason, kept building more casinos in the same small town. So he newest casino was just stealing customers from his other casinos. By the time he opened the Taj Mahal he borrowed so much, he needed a record profitable day, every day to pay off his loans. But for a while the bank loans kept coming in. He had real estate, casinos, a USFL football team, the Trump Shuttle airline (airlines are tough to run even for folks in that industry, a European style bike race in the US, The Tour de TRump. It came crashing down on him quick.

The business model for the USFL was they were going play in the spring and summer when the NFL was off. They would get football junkies and then the hope was when the NFL wanted to expand again, they would come to these guys and boom, now you have an NFL team on the cheap. Now Trump is an amazing salesman.....he convincned the other owners to move to the fall and compete vs the NFL. It was a debacle. Oh also when he was on his buying spree he bought a giant yacht. He actually hates boats and it never left the pier, but he didn't want people saying he wasn't rich enough for a yacht.

After the mid 90s he stopping buying and building. He started branding. Somebody else puts up the money, and actually builds the hotel or the condo tower and trump puts his name on it and charges them a fee. One the reason he became an international businessman is New York banks wouldn't let to him any more. But the Trump brand was still a thing and he could get your project publicity. Prior to his own rebranding with the TV show, he was not in good shape. His company in the 80's to 90's was private and it's private now. But at one point, he had a public company. You could buy stock in Donald Trump. It was not a good idea though. Initially the stock went way up, but if you stuck it out the whole way, you would have had a dime for every dollar you put in. Company went bankrupt for the second time right before his TV show.

The guy's a roller coaster. He has massive highs and massive lows. Right now he's heading low, his first pick for National Security Advisor has criminal lawyer now. That's a massive reversal in a couple of months.
