"Donald Trump is seen by many to be a hugely successful business man" if I hear that one more time

without the proper response my head will explode.
Almost every single trumpet they roll out in front of cameras starts off defending the twit with that remark no matter what the issue at hand may be.
Just once I want to see a journalist stop there and ask, "So what is your proof that he is so successful?
He has been a failure throughout his career, sued thousands of times, and doesn't pay people for work he has commissioned.
He has offered no evidence that he is a successful business person. In fact, the opposite case can be made by most everyone who has ever done business with the man.
