Did some looking into the record after a conversation with a co-worker

[Corvan]

One of the people I work with is - for whatever reason - a huge fan of Donald Trump for President. As we were waiting for a conference call today he was espousing how a Trump administration would dictate terms to other countries, not negotiate as well as his position that The Donald will run the country as a successful businessman, not a politician. This got me curious and during the boredom that was this call, here are some interesting businesses Trump has launched and closed.

GoTrump.com, a website that promised users the opportunity to "travel Trump style" opened in 2006, closed in 2007.
Trump: The Magazine, the third attempt to publish a magazine aimed at the opulent, launched in 2007 and ceased publication in 2009.
Trump Mortgage's GM lied about his credentials as a top Wall Street executive causing its licensing to be revoked after 13 months in business.
in 1992, Trump defaulted on $365 million in loans used to purchase and operate Trump Airlines.
Trump touted his 52-story tower in Tampa as a game changer, then claimed he only licensed the use of his name when the project failed.
Trump & Milton Bradley projected Trump: The Game would sell 2 million units in its first year. It sold 600,000 in two releases in 1989 & 2014.
Trump University, a "philanthropic venture" by The Donald is being sued by former students and several Attorneys General for fraud.
Trump Entertainment & Casinos built the Taj Mahal for $210 million only to be sold in 2010 in bankruptcy for $20,000,000.
Trump Entertainment & Casinos filed for bankruptcy 3 times and received infusions of cash from its creditors 6 times between 1989 and 2009.

Maybe it's just me but that pretty much makes the federal government as it's currently run sound pretty darn efficient in comparison...

Trump is resonating with some because after 8 years of Obama and his left of centrist America agenda, many are fed up. Bad economic policy, political correctness run amok, and unpopular immigration policy/lack of federal immigration law enforcement are just a few of the big issues that many Republican and independent voters are concerned about.

I think Trumps stick to his convictions despite the media and PC crowd backlash is what his led to his,early popularity in the polls. This will change as time goes on and most voters awaken to what he is: another megolomaniac, attention seeking, narcissistic politician that cares more about himself than he does about anything else including the country. If this description sounds familiar, it is because this is the same type of personality we have had in the White House under the name of Barack Obama for the past eight years.

Hopefully the country awakens and realizes that we as a country need a President who truly puts the country first, enforces and respects our laws, and tries (to the degree possible) to bring Americans of all ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, etc. together rather than trying to polarize, divide, and tear the country apart.
