... Standing directly in front of a marquee where only the faint remains of the words "Trump Plaza" are still visible, Clinton said the billionaire's defunct projects scattered across this struggling resort town are monuments to the fact that Trump is a bad businessman who only cares about making himself rich ...
"When this casino collapsed because of how badly he managed it, hundreds of people lost their jobs, shareholders were wiped out, lenders lost most, contractors -- many of them small businesses -- took heavy losses and many themselves went bust," Clinton said. "But Donald Trump, he walked away with millions."

He's a CON man, nothing more nothing less.

(49,002 posts)He's a terrible businessman. He doesn't make money honestly and doesn't make much of that.

(56,828 posts)and his HUGE inheritance from him, some folks did an analysis of his money. If he had just invested his money in the stock market and let it sit there, he'd be worth a whole hell of a lot more than he claims he is already. I think somewhere around 3x as much.

(869 posts)Trump as a businessman plays zero-sum games, and this is not truly contributing to the economy. Yes, he is a terrible manager, and also a pretty bad entrepreneur. He is a product of the go-go financial 80's.
I am glad Hillary is starting to hammer in some of these points.
Sad fact is that Trump deep inside knows this - his entire behavior, his rants, all of it is compensatory to what is down below a pretty low level of self esteem. Or so I would suspect. He hasn't really produced anything that has lasted, institutionally. Problem is - he can't. He is too damaged.
