12 Donald Trump Businesses That No Longer Exist.... Twelve. Twelve?
Boy, what a failure! NO mention of the hundreds still in existence and have led to a $9 Billion net worth.
Obviously, Ms. Holdodny holds a pre-disposed "slanted" view of Trump, making this piece and the contention within it totally worthless and not worthy of any discussion whatsoever.
Please provide a list of the hundreds of businesses that Trump started that are still in existence.
12 business failures is a poor track record. Trump likes to invest other people's money while protecting his own. Do a little research.
$9 Billion net worth and 24,000 employees. Epic failure!
Makes sense. With that kind of cash he can easily afford to pay actors to show up as stand-ins for his grand announcement. Where are all the real and rabid supporters of Mr. Money?

I'm sure he's the first candidate in the history of American politics to bring in some of his own supporters to appear at an event.
Trump has his drawbacks just like we all do, but to contend that he's some kind of failure in business is ludicrous.

note the masonic illuminati handshake
Do you remember the Apprentice show where Brett Michaels won the challenge? Brett did the signal (the index and pinky fingers held up and the middle two bent down) in front of Donald right before Donald announced that Brett won. Not sure if that is why he won, but it was there for all to see.

There is something appealing about a candidate rich enough to finance his own ride without being beholden to a bunch of special interest donors. I liked what he said about Ford - who plans to open a 2.5 billion dollar facility in Mexico: "(if elected) I'll impose a 30% tax on every vehicle and part that comes into this country". He said that no other candidate has the means to make and enforce this threat - as Ford (and other companies) and their subsidiaries finance so many candidates.
For the record, I find Trump to be a pompous and self-serving a$$ with a monumental ego. It is the ego, however that just might make him want to be a leader. You know the wealthy, power types - always concerned about their legacies.
As someone stated in another thread - the whole GOP primary should provide some great entertainment. Personally, I think the Dem's will provide a few chuckles of their own. 😉
LOL Trump says a lot of bold things, few of which could ever become a reality. I think he forgets there is a little thing called NAFTA which eliminated the tariffs he claims he would implement.
And as far as him being able to get things done because he is not controlled by big business I wonder if he realizes he can't just order things to get done like on his TV show and fire people who displease him.
Even if by some miracle he actually won he would have to deal with politicians from both parties who are controlled by big business. Like I said he comes out every election making big claims to get publicity.
As far as the Democratic debates are concerned, considering the lack of completion Hilliary has, I doubt they will come close to the entertainment circus the GOP debates promise.
I think he would demand answers from those working for him, and it would NOT be business as usual in Washington. He would get infrastructure fixed because he knows construction. He would create jobs because he hates outsourcing. I don't think he wants to conquer the Middle East we might have less wars going on there. He has managed his own money and empire which was based on business deals, so he is pretty good with accounting and financial management, and the country needs that. There are reasons to give him a try.

So the readers of your evasive response will understand that your answer implies "no". Let's keep in mind that your original statement was nothing but your personal opinion. On the other hand, at least polls are based upon queries & accumulated stats. The consensus of polls doesn't support your opinion, but you probably already knew that.

He can demand all he wants but being POTUS is not a dictatorship so he can't get what he wants by barking orders as he has to deal with Congress. Considering the way he offends not only Democrats but attacks politicians in his own party to make himself look controversial I would say he would not have much luck getting the support he would need.
He can make all the pie in the sky claims he wants but in reality he would have a difficult time making any of his boasts a reality if he even had a prayer of winning which he doesn't.

All posts here are that person’s opinion.
You for some reason believe that you can interpret what I meant to say. That alone is disturbing.
Wow, some obscure left-wing polls don’t support what you think my opinion is; imagine that.
That alone tells me yet again that I am right and you are not.
Why is it that liberals almost never state their position but always attack someone else’s position?
So you're a liberal?
Trump knows he has no prayer but he is an attention whore and will do anything to get press.
Man I hope most of these jokers make it to the GOP debates as it will be a three ring circus and comedy gold.
I don't know about the rest of the jokers, but Trump IS funny. He's already saying a lot of things that need to be said, and the way he does it is entertaining to listen to. I doubt some of the other candidates think it's too funny, but it is.

You got me there Alloak with quotes like these I am sure the other candidates are shaking in their boots. With such oratory and diplomatic skills how can the man possibly lose?
1. Donald sewing up the Mexican vote:
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.
2. On using his expertise in air conditioning to create a competent ISIS strategy:
Some of the candidates, they went in and didn’t know the air conditioner didn’t work and sweated like dogs, and they didn’t know the room was too big because they didn’t have anybody there. How are they going to beat ISIS?
3. On how he would fix HealthCare.gov:
We have a 5 billion dollar website. I have so many websites … I hire people. They do a website. It costs me three dollars.
4. Donald showing his diplomacy skills:
When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time.
5. On God making him to make jobs:
I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.
6. On getting Mexicans to build a wall to keep themselves out of America:
I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me —and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.
7. Er…
They built a hotel. When I build a hotel, I have to pay interest. They don’t have to pay interest because they took the oil when we left Iraq, I said we should have taken. So now ISIS has the oil.
8. On politicians using the moon to distract people:
I watch the speeches of these people, and they say the sun will rise, the moon will set, all sorts of wonderful things will happen, and people are saying, ‘What is going on? I just want a job.’
9. On free trade:
Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people.
10. On why we need a President who wrote Donald Trump’s The Art of the Deal:
We need a leader that wrote The Art of the Deal.
Donald Trump will be President in 2016, so don’t doubt him you losers.
Neil Young Allows Bernie Sanders to Use "Rockin’ in the Free World"
After Neil Young issued not one but two statements about Donald Trump’s usage of “Rockin’ in the Free World” without his consent, the rocker has allowed the song to be used by Bernie Sanders.
In a press release issued by Sanders, he mentioned that he got approval to use the song for an event for the Democratic Party Presidential candidate at Hamilton Gymnasium at the University of Denver.
The news shouldn’t come to the surprise of many, as Young previously stated that he is a longtime supporter of Sanders. As far as Trump’s usage of the song is concerned, he has ceased using the song out of respect for Young, despite claiming to have paid both the ASCAP and BMI for the song rights.

Perfect choice for Bernie. After all, Socialism is all about freedom.

He has about as much chance of getting elected as Trump, I don't care who's song they use.
I'm surprised more folks on this site are not strongly supporting Bernie.
Trump is freaking hilarious IMO. I'm glad he's in the race.
I wonder is Trump will hammer Ted Cruz for not being born in the USA and having only 1 parent being a US Citizen? My guess is that all those tea-party birthers will ignore this fact, even though they claimed that the same situation disqualified Obama. Any guesses why?

Me too because if he lasts that long the GOP debates are going to be epic!

I don't know, but Hillary might. Let's not forget, the whole Birther Movement was founded by the Clinton campaign in 2007. Credit should go where credit is due.
Much of what Trump says resonates with people. He actually offers an extremely positive message and says things that really need saying IMO.
On the flip side, after a series of really effective statements, out comes the clunker. Without fail.
He needs to learn trim out the groaner.
When an if he drops out of the race, all of the remaining candidates should pick up his positive messaging and run with it if they're smart.

He's a media whore, narcissist, and egomaniac. If you watched his speech you would have seen what a negative persona & message he displayed contrary to your statement about "positive messaging". Compare his coming out speech with that of Jeb Bush. If you believe in positive messaging and know anything about speech delivery, Bush did a really good job in his delivery as compared to the droppings of what Trump leveled.
If his message resonates with people as you believe, please come back here when he drops out due to lack of support and explain why his "extremely positive message" failed? Do you think people honestly take his candidacy seriously? Do you really believe that Trump truly wants to be POTUS?
Trump knows how to make & lose money. Making money and being smart are not necessarily concepts that go hand in hand. What goes in tandem for Trump is foot and mouth as in "foot in mouth".
Ooops...maybe we've been duped - alloak doing more of his standup comedy and using Donald Trump for material.
The Donald probably won't see it through to the end. No heart-stopping prediction there, but he's good for the field. It's not much of a stretch to say that there's a sense of nationalism or national pride missing in America. Trump brings a little of that to the table, and I'm glad he's there.

Your implication is that doing business outside the USA does not reflect strongly on a sense of nationalism. Hence the question.
