I’m obliged to not trust government at all. That’s why I go for the smaller gov side.

Trump has over 500 Successful Businesses. 6 went bankrupt to include some he bought to reorganize by bankruptcies. Sad to see the koolaids show up here brainwashed by main stream media and their poor education and inability to search for valid information, SAD! The Trump Organization is a group of about 500 business entities of which Donald Trump is the sole or principal owner.[5] About 250 of these entities use the Trump name.[6][7] The organization was founded in 1923 by Donald Trump's grandmother, Elizabeth Christ Trump, and father, Fred Trump, as E. Trump & Son. Donald Trump began leading it in 1971, renamed it around 1973, and handed off its leadership to his children in 2017. Here is a link, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trump_Organization

Trump inherited his wealth.

He bankrupted casinos.

He had a loss so bad, his business was able to write it off for over a decade. OVER A DECADE.

Can you name a business he started that didn't fail miserably?

His dad started the real estate thing.

Everyone who has worked with him has said that he's an idiot.

No one has said that about Obama.

So much tiresome hyperbole. Have you noticed they don't go on about muh draft dodger now that Biden who got a deferment for 'asthma' is the head Dem?

Trump started his businesses with a loan from his dad.

One casino he built went bankrupt along with a bunch he didn't own in the same city. Not his fault.

Trump paid his tax people to save him money on taxes. They did their job.

He's made many hotels that have been booming successes. Only a handful of his investments have been bad out of hundreds.

Sources for any of this?

Many people have said a lot of things like this about Obama.

Look, you're clearly not someone involved with accounting or owning a small business. Because to claim a loss, you have to show the receipts. I am a small business. I have an accountant (part time). The IRS makes it such a hassle to hide money that it's easier to just do it the right way.

Donald Trump’s businesses lost a total of more than $1bn from 1985 to 1994. Trump posted losses in excess of $250m in both 1990 and 1991, according to the records, which appeared to be more than double any other individual US taxpayer in an annual IRS sampling of high-income earners.

He literally lost more money than anyone else in the country.

Source is his own tax records from the 90's.

I never said he did it the 'wrong way' there are tax loop holes and accountants get paid to take advantage of them. Its just how the system works.

"Donald Trump’s businesses lost a total of more than $1bn from 1985 to 1994. Trump posted losses in excess of $250m in both 1990 and 1991, according to the records, which appeared to be more than double any other individual US taxpayer in an annual IRS sampling of high-income earners"

Yes, and Trump is a BILLIONAIRE meaning 2+ billions. Which means at worst he lost half his money from 1985 to 1994. Its unlikely though. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/04/weve-been-trying-figure-out-how-much-trump-worth-20-years/349875/
1 billion over the course of 9 years is $111 million a year. His net worth in 1998 was $3 billion, 1999 $1.5 billion, 1990 half a billion, 2000 $5 billion. So losing $111 million is pocket change.

"He literally lost more money than anyone else in the country."

This is a noncomparative statement. He's one of the richest people in the country. He does not compare to the normal people.

Let's say he is a bad businessman (even if he isn't), I don't want my President to support the killing of babies.
