trump calls himself "king of debt" -- by which he means he breaks promises

[unblock]

trump has made himself rich at the expense of others by failing to deliver on promises.

for one thing, he escapes a ton of debt through repeated (ab)use of bankruptcy law protections.

for another, he routinely fails to pay his bills in full or at all and bullies people with a team of lawyers to get his way -- taking advantage of the way civil courts can be abused due to the time and money it costs people to seek justice.


is this really the kind of business experience that translates into presidential material?


we have hammered him on his repeated bankruptcies, but we should hammer him on all this because it shows he is

- a breaker of promises
- a failure
- someone who takes advantage of his constituents for self-enrichment
- a businessman who didn't build something so much as take from others

1. I don't understand why anyone does business

with him without some sort of collateral, like a letter of credit.

2. I've wondered that for a while, too.

I can't see a damned thing he brings to any business relationship, other than his name and his ego -- and his name/"brand" is starting to tarnish something fierce, while his ego is edging towards toxic levels. Maybe he's different in a business setting, I don't know.
