7. "Trump Takeover"

A cartoon where Trump is a heroic business-man saving failing companies. There were storyboards of him saving the MLB, the stock market and the US economy. By doing business-stuff.

Somehow there weren't takers for this cartoon.



6. "Trump Shuttle"

Trump bought himself an airline, geared it towards rich passengers, pimped the planes with vulgar decoration... and then the airline went broke because the few people actually flying on it did not bring enough money to compensate the costs.



5. "Trump Mortgage LLC"

Trump Mortgage LLC was a mortgage-broker. For real-estate-loans. Founded in 2006. And Trump said "the real estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come."

Trump Mortgage LLC went belly-up in 2008. Trump's response was (no kidding) that he never wanted to go into mortgages in the first place.



4. "FundAnything"

Trump created the crowdfunding-site FundAnything in 2013. He promised that this would be crowdfunding for ordinary people. Then he charged fees higher than any other crowdfunding-site.

FundAnything went belly-up in 2014. Trump said that he had never liked it.



3. "Tour de Trump"

A cycling tournament modeled after the Tour de France. It was, in fact, really successful... Except for Trump. He had to sell his stakes because he was unable to pay the IRS and pay the price-money at the same time.



2. "Trump Magazine"

A magazine full of interviews with members of the Trump-family and advertisements for Trump-businesses. It folded after losing too much money.



1. "Trump World Studios, Florida"

In 2012, Trump wanted to build a massive movie-studio. He hired architects and all he needed was finalizing the deals on the plots of land he wanted to buy.

When someone looked into the 800 acres that Trump wanted, they found that he'd earmarked spaces for everything from homeless assistance and public schools to parks and environmental conservation zones, all the way to the military -- who have a thing about people trespassing on their grounds. The final nail in the coffin, however, was the discovery that Trump, real estate genius that he is, had earmarked land next to an air reserve base -- a move equivalent to Marvel Studios deciding to shoot Infinity War inside a wind turbine. Before he could get the chance to ask if the jets could, like, be quiet when doing their takeoffs and landings, the whole thing was quietly dropped like a red-hot turd -- albeit a turd that logged millions of dollars in architectural fees.
