Just now on MJ, NYT Reporter CONFIRMS what's I've expected about tRumps business smarts

... He has none.

He's a salesman and NOT... NOT a business man; he's HORRIBLE at execution great at the sale.

He also acts, walks, talks... spends... like someone who makes 10 million a year stiffing people and moving debt around to fund his lifestyle and NOT... NOT someone who has 10 x 100 million dollars ... 15 DAY READY in the form of bonds or something safe.

Even Cuban asked the other day, if Dumbass Donald is billionaire ..... IN LIQUID CASH...... and not assets he'd have to borrow against to do large transactions... then he'd fund his CURRENT campaign without even thinking about it.

It would be like a middle class family spending a couple of hundred dollars on car tires and a oil change or shoes for the kids.

But that's not what's happening at all, Donald SUCKS at business and while having a relative few cash flow positive ventures over 30 years or so he's had way more that failed HORRIBLY than ones that succeeded.

America CAN NOT afford to do actual Business with Dumbass Donald

1. He's a thief who'll slow or no pay his small vendors
2. He'll over sell the asset and its time of return because he doesn't do specifics
3. He has NO attention span so his out clause will be yuuuuge, he'll get out of the deal cause it Wednesday

Same thing will happen if he became president

Your take?

1. He's a front man; and I bet he'd use the apparatus of government to further his business interests

I could even imagine him using the US military to bully foreign competitors/governments who have not approved his business projects.

3. Plus, Donald Trump is corrupt with without any ethical beliefs

Trump will line his pockets. Trump will loot and steal. He does it now and he will not change as president.

4. Trump is all smoke and mirrors.

He only attended Wharton for two years, not four. (He started out at Fordham University.)

He then graduated with only a bachelors of science in economics.

No MBA.

And his father didn't teach him the secrets to creative finance.

Trump only learned how to cheat, obfuscate, and use debt as financing from Roy Cohn.

He just didn't think it would catch up to him.

6. Watch PBS Frontline's "The Choice 2016"

Several People state just that. "It's as if he didn't take an economics or accounting class in college" said one of his former bankers.

Really great watch. The first hour is info side by side on Trump and Hillary from childhood. It really gives a good background on both for the rest of their lives.

7. My favorites are the "I'll match your donation" ads.

Matching donations is what companies do when the donations go to a third party.

Donald is advertising that he needs a million dollars to write himself a million dollar check.

...around the country, a casino operator could lose $900M in a year?

He says he's a great business man.

"He's a salesman and NOT a businessman"

Make them fucking memorize it

11. This explains why so many in the outer suburbs of Central Florida will vote for him.

They love big talkers. Their logic and due diligence is puddle deep. A man's word is their bond. But soon they realize that trusting that word, becomes their bind.

And that's how you build a community based on a house of cards.
