Trump’s latest sinking ship

Jesus you should at least Google before talking such complete shit. The impeachment had nothing to do with Russia, it was Trump’s threat to withhold military aid to Zalensky unless he dug up dirt on Biden.
The predicate charge was true. Reasonable people (and, in the event, partisans) could disagree on whether it was impeachable but even GOP ‘no’ votes conceded the underlying charge.

I did google. And I pulled both explanations from Wikipedia. Perhaps the problem here is that you don't know jack shit about this.

It's not like you started a company and it went bankrupt after 2 months.
See, this shows either a single minded stubbornness or an inability to learn. No matter how many times it gets poi Ted out to you that Trump didnt do that either, you continue to cling to your same old destroyed narrative.
Trump didn't start Trump Steaks. He didn't ruin Trump Steaks. He didn't do a fucking thing except sell a license to his name to The Sharper Image. But you don't understand that. It shows a serious lack of reasoning skills 9n your part. To the point of it being ridiculous. Trying to have an honest discussion with you is a total waste of my time.

Trump struck up a relationship with Buckhead Beef, a specialty meat company that was purchased by Sysco, the largest marketer and distributor of food service products in the United States, in 1999. According to Jack Serratilli, a Buckhead Beef sales manager, Trump first approached the company when he opened his first casino in Atlantic City. Buckhead had already been servicing other casinos in Atlantic City, supplying beef for their restaurants, and they began to do the same for Trump.Beginning around the mid-2000s, however, Trump’s Atlantic City projects began to suffer financial blows, culminating, eventually, in a 2004 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. According to the filing, Trump Hotels owed Buckhead Beef $715,240, related to their partnership with the casino.
Two years later, on August 6, 2006, Trump filed an application to trademark Trump Steaks. A few months later, in October, the New York Inquirer published a story reporting that Trump had entered into a partnership with Buckhead Beef to sell the steaks. The now-trademarked Trump Steaks name was first used in commerce, according to filings made to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, in December 2006. To start, it appears as though Trump sold his steaks through a direct sales website, housed at www.trumpsteaks.com.
A few months later, a licensing executive with the Trump Organization approached Jerry Levin, CEO of the Sharper Image. The Trump Organization had been looking for a place to sell their newly trademarked steaks, and the executive, who was a good friend of Levin’s, thought that the product could be an interesting fit for the stores, which until that point had been better known for electronics than food products.
The idea of selling steaks, even those bearing the Donald Trump name, seemed instantly odd to Levin.
“The idea was certainly an unusual one,” he said, calling the connection between Trump Steaks and the Sharper Image “truly a non sequitur.” Levin explained that the licensing executive likely picked the Sharper Image because he and Levin had a pre-existing relationship (though Trump, in the sales commercial, refers to Sharper Image as “one of [his] favorite stores, with fantastic products of all kinds).
“I asked, ‘What is it they want us to do?’” Levin recalled. “And they really only had two criteria to the licensing agreement itself: Donald wanted his picture on the front of a Sharper Image catalog when we introduced this, and he wanted his picture in every one of our stores when we introduced it.”

One-term Presidents of the last fifty years or so? Trump ranks well ahead of Carter. Maybe ahead of Bush41, I don't know, time will tell. Another that time will tell on, is JFK. Much of his Presidency was heavily romanticized, but when it comes down to nut-cutting, I don't think his ranking will be in the top half of all Presidents.

I think Biden will be seen as a twin of Carter. One term, poor foreign policy skills, and in power during major inflation.

Don't think so. Carter was a disaster, but most people liked him. I'm not sure if the majority of people actually like Biden.

Trump doesn't have a "consistent track record of bankruptcies", it's coming to light that he had good reason to question the election results and he did not inspire an "invasion of the capitol". If there's something legitimate to trash Trump over, have at it. My problem is I can't stand watching a fool spread lies the way you do.

That is true. Carter's reputation has only improved since he left office. Some would say he fell on the sword (e.g., getting Volcker as the chairman of the Fed) to drastically increase rates and kill the economy in order to stop inflation. Others would say he builds houses and chews peanuts. Yet others say he says the word Pecan incorrectly. Biden, on the other hand, is a creepy career politician who has a fake smile, fake teeth, kisses young females, and is a good decade beyond when he had the mental capacity to be president.
