Not sure about you but this thread has me quite hungry for a delicious Trump streak, while flying Trump Airlines, drinking some Trump Vodka, while browsing for a better Trump mortgage, while taking breaks from reading Trump Magazine, to help me better prepare for applying to Trump University.

You had better prepare to

• starve
• start walking
• become a non-alcoholic
• lose your house
• become illiterate
• and uneducated

The truly successful do not ridicule a failure. They know how many times one has to fail before they succeed. As the old saying goes, the only people who have never failed are those who have never tried.

The list of "failures" you give is a perfect example of a failure making fun of success. The Trump brand has monetary value. Trump himself didn't go into the steak business, or the airline business, or the Vodka business, or any of that. Other people did, and they paid him for the right to use the Trump brand. Trump made his money. The failure was by the various businesses that paid to use his name. You have shown your own lack of understanding of how business works.

You have shown your own lack of understanding of how business bankruptcy works.

You didn't fix anything. You simply proved that you don't understand it even after it was explained to you. That's known as invincible ignorance.

Trump Steaks was a product line created by a company called The Sharper Image. They paid Trump a fee for the right to use his name and image on the product line, and intended to sell the steaks exclusively through their stores. After posinng for a photo and putting his check in the bank, Trump had no further involvement in the venture, and The Sharper Image gave up on the idea after 2 months.

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!

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?

[89th]

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?"
