Trump’s latest sinking ship
-
So what you're saying is he doesn't actually do anything. He just stands around grinning inanely and doing the thumb's up at photo-ops.
I work with a couple of people like that. They're in marketing and drive fancy cars. Lucky bastards.
When I was at school they told me if I worked really hard I'd be successful. They lied. Obviously, I ignored them anyway, but still, they freaking lied!
I was only joking

Trump created Trump Steaks and sold them exclusively through Sharper Image as well as through QVC. After 2 months of almost "literally no sales" (according to Sharper Image), the product line was canceled.
If your definition of business success is cashing a check in order to use his name and image (it's probably true, but do you have proof of this?), that is different from mine which is focused more on whether the goods/services sold by a business is profitable, with bonus points if there is healthy, sustained growth year over year, while employing people.

You are incorrect. Sharper Image approached Trump, not the other way around. But dont let that get in the way of your psychotic break with reality.

He knows what you're saying. He just doesn't want to admit that famous people sell their endorsements or name.

Maybe it's because I'm getting old, and maybe it's because I've spent so many years actually creating jobs - but it really gets tiresome dealing with pencil pushers who have never created a single job in their life, never started a business in their life., yet think they know what the hell they're talking about.

Two (that I've incorporated, at least). Now that I think about it, both were more successful than Trump Steaks! Hahaha

How many people have paid you for your endorsement or the use of your name?
-
First, zero.
Second, as mentioned to Larry, is that your definition of a business succeeding?
Third, I'm glad my name isn't associated with dozens of failed businesses and at least one failed presidency BOOM!!!!

The only people who think Trump's name is associated with dozens of failed businesses are ideologically constipated fools like you. The only people who think his was a failed presidency are the truly stupid.
As for your comment "is that your definition of a business succeeding"... thanks for yet again proving you do t have a fucking clue how business works.

What is your standard for declaring a presidency "failed?"

You can't believe anything this guy says. Not that long ago he was saying he voted for Trump but knew he would lose, then he said "I'm actually a Republican and wanted him to win" then he thought Trump did a good job as president he just didn't like his mean tweets.. he will say anything to "win" an argument. Now he claims he's started 2 businesses. He's as full of shit as a Christmas turkey.

The standard is whether one is greeted with giggles and collegial backslaps within one’s professional and social circles when one says the presidency was failed.

A few years ago I bought a 7 location chain of gas/convenience stores from bankruptcy court. All of them had fallen below the franchise standards, and the owner had gone broke trying to bring them up to spec. Since the franchise was no longer valid, I wasn't under its restrictions. I sold a couple off "as is" in a matter of weeks and used the cash to renovate the other 5. I then sold each one off as a stand alone business. All the inventory was "jobbed", I set up gas supply through a local distributor. All together it took about 7 months. . I never worked a day in any of them, and the last 2 were pure cash flow when sold. I never spent a dime of my own money, never lifted a hammer.
To 89th, that venture was a total failure...

Well I would say being impeached twice, and then being rejected by voters after 1 term aren't exactly checks in the "successful presidency" column.
Further, refusing to accept election results and not attending your successor's inauguration doesn't help the case either. That of course does not include whatever comes of the January 6th committee, nor does it include early fumbling of taking the pandemic seriously as well as kicking off inflation.
I'd imagine Trump will permanently reside in the "bottom 5" of most presidential ranking lists, btw...but I'm not using that argument because most are written by t3h liberal media.
