1. Trump Airlines
Fall 1988 The Donald acquired Eastern Air Shuttle, an airline company that flew flights from Boston to New York City, and Washington D.C. This cost Donald Trump 365 million dollars. With 17 Boeing 727s at each city, he boldly put his name on them in golden letters of course. Even beyond his brand name, he attempted to put his “Trump touch” on the company. He added maple wood veneer to the floors, chrome seat-belt latches, and gold-colored bathroom fixtures. This did nothing to attract customers who were more into convenience than luxury, and with rising oil prices the company could not make a profit. The multi-million-dollar debt forced Trump to default on his loans, ownership of the company was turned over to the creditors he owed. The Trump Shuttle ended in 1992 after the company was merged into a new corporation. I doubt the gold plated bathrooms survived for long.
2. Trump Vodka
First I just want to say that, what American thinks he can make and sell vodka to Russians? In 2006 with a lot of hype and marketing and slogans like “Success Distilled,” and “epitome of vodka” Trump vodka joined the market. Trump predicted that it would be the most requested drink in America. This, of course, turned out to not be true as no one wanted it. It not only did not sell to anyone overseas, but Americas did not want it either. The company failed to meet the threshold requirements and stopped production.
3. The B word
In 2010 Trump said, “I don’t like the B word.” Yeah, I bet you don’t Donald. Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc., filed for bankruptcy (his third at the time). He had to give up 50 percent of his Taj Mahal and increased his debt up to nearly four billion dollars.
4. His Wives
If I had to guess, I'd imagine that Trump outside of what he can buy, isn’t much of a lady pleaser. Trump with all of his success is quite a failure in the love department. Trump is married to his third wife currently, a Slovenian supermodel trophy wife. Or maybe he really loves her? Normally I find it unfair and in poor taste to bring up something like this about someone, but when you’re the Republican nominee, you should be held to the standards of “family values” that the GOP claims to stand for.
5. Trump Mortgage
In April 2006, Trump told all his henchmen and minions that he was getting into the mortgage business. He even held a press conference to announce it, with his son Lucifer, or whatever his name is. Trump boastfully said, “Who knows more about financing than me?” But as it seems, quite of few people do. The company lasted only a year and a half. The housing market tanked in 2007.
6. Trump: The game
Trump had a board game kind of like monopoly or something. He really thought he would sell 2 million units. It was nonsense and no one bought it. There is nothing more to say about this.
7. China
"The problem with our country is we don't manufacture anything anymore," Donald Trump told Fox News. "The stuff that's been sent over from China, falls apart after a year and a half. It's crap." Trump's clothing line is made in China, Mexico, and Bangladesh. Maybe he forgot?
8. Trump Casinos
Seriously, who fails at the gambling business? The house always wins! In February 2009, Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection for the third time in a row. Which according to actual good businessmen, is quite a rare feat. When he eventually let go of the company it emerged from bankruptcy in 2010.
9. Middle East Policy
Saudi Arabia is one of Americas most important allies, especially in the Middle East, and The Donald blustered on about the scheming malfeasance of OPEC and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Trump insisted the U.S. could leverage its military supremacy to persuade OPEC to lower prices. In his words: "I'm going to look 'em in the eye and say, 'Fellas, you'd have your fun. Your fun is over.' Yes, Donald, let’s try to bully and threaten our Allies into giving us the business deals we want, that’s going to work out great for our foreign relations. Trump also mentioned that he would take us out of Iraq, and he would take all of their oil with him. Yes, Trump let’s use our Military to even more blatantly steal the natural resources from another country.
10. He’s killing the GOP
I estimate that there will never be another Republican president again. We are witnessing Donald trump destroy the republican party. Or maybe this should be listed as a success?
