Here, we present to you 12 Trump businesses that went belly up or no longer exist.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/12-donald-trump-businesses-that-no-longer-exist-204923129.html

Trump Mortgage (announced in 2006 – closed in 2007)
What happened:
 Trump launched his own mortgage company, and his son predicted that it would be the No. 1 home-loan lender in the US. And then ... the housing market completely crashed in 2007. Trump's mortgage company was shut down after a year and a half. Shortly after the company's launch Trump said on CNBC: "I think it's a great time to start a mortgage company ... who knows about financing better than I do?"

Trump Steaks (2007 – unknown)
The prices ranged from $199 for a pack of 12 steak burgers and four steaks, all the way up to $999 for a selection of 16 top cuts.Bonus: The Trump Steakhouse in Las Vegas was briefly shut down following 51 health code violations, including expired yogurt and five-month old duck.

Trump Vodka (2006 â€“ circa 2011)
What happened: Trump dipped his toes into the "super premium" vodka industry around 2006. It's unclear when exactly Trump Vodka was shut down, but by 2011 the drink was no longer being produced "under the Trump trademark because the company failed to meet the threshold requirements," Trump's people said, according to Gothamist.

What Trump said about the vodka when it launched: "By the summer of '06, I fully expect the most called for cocktail in America to be the T&T or the Trump and Tonic."

Trump: The Game (1989 – 1990, 2005)
What happened: Trump first released his own pseudo-Monopoly board game in 1989, but it didn't sell well at all and was discontinued after a year.

GoTrump.com (2006 â€“ 2007)
What happened:
 GoTrump.com was a search engine for bargains on luxury travel deals. It was powered by Travelocity.com, so it started off pretty well. However, the site was quickly ripped apart by critics, and it was shut down after a year.

Trump Magazine (2007 â€“ 2009)
What happened:
 The Trump magazine was a collaboration between the Trump brand and what is now called Niche Media. It launched with glitz and loads of PR but was shut down after two years

The New Jersey Generals (1983 â€“ 1985)
What happened:
 Trump originally owned the The New Jersey Generals — a United States Football League team — but quickly sold them to focus on construction projects like the Trump Tower. Later he changed his mind, reacquiring the team in 1984. The team folded one year later, in 1985, along with the entire USFL. People blamed Trump for the demise of not only the team, but the entire league. 

......you get the idea. :D

What policies? Can you list some?

 

 

Of course I can, and I have before in past discussions about this subject.

 

MissCommunication stated: source post

omg, did you see where they asked him why he won't share his policies and he said "I like to be unpredictable" ROFL! 

 

He said he didn't want to broadcast to the enemy what he'll do. That's a lot smarter than saying what he'll do about Isis on live TV, just because a journalist asked about it.

Ah.

They can only find 12 ? What do we make of the Trump Organization's other 515 subsidiaries that are still in tact then ?

Every business of all sizes has it's ups and downs. The Babe Ruth analogy suggests how he had more strike outs than home runs, but in the end the strike outs never mattered. In Trump's case he employs thousands of people, and paying them continues to cost more than all of his organizations historical failures combined.

The human condition consists of trial and error. The best of what we've done, and what we use the most, has been finished with more failures than success.

Did anyone watch the Commander in Chief Forum tonight? So much secrecy and pride within his fumbling. 

 

Like what exactly ?

Hillary had to spend quite a bit of time explaining her reasons for Iraq, and learning the hard way, and how it was a good idea for them to kill Qaddafi.

 how it was a good idea for them to kill Qaddafi. 

 

Hope that was sarcasm.....Qaddafi was the glue that held the middle east together....now look at the shit?

Dear fucking god! Libya has never been part of the Middle East. Libya is in North Africa, quite removed from the Middle East. Libyans do not consider themselves Middle Eastern in any way, shape or form.

It's been shown that if Trump had simply invested his massive inheritance in low return bonds he would have more money today than he has from his ventures. His biggest success has been convincing people he's a brilliant biz man rather than just another spoiled trust fun kid.

You don' t like the solution...And Europe doesn't have a choice, due to foolish and ill conceived policies. 

So you seriously think spending huge amounts on border security and letting refugees die or have miserable lives is the best (and only) option we have?

 

Primal stated: source post

You're kidding right? What's so bad about his proposed policies? Change is necessary...the stagnation is gutting the average american. Trump knows he was born with a silver spoon ....most are not...

It's difficult to get a sense of Trump's policies because he usually only presents them in vague terms, and because he has a habit of changing his position on issues so often. I do feel he's been rather consistent with these though: 1) crack down on illegal immigration, 2) raise tariffs and 3) lower taxes. I don't support either of those but especially the last one would be bad.

What most Trump supporters bring up when pushed is how bad everyone else is. I think that's telling. You might think change is necessary (regardless in which form it takes) but that doesn't make Trump a good candidate.

It's like mixing water at different temperatures, or mixing gases, you can't stop it and instead of trying to stop it, maybe try to make it work.

No.  It's like pouring ten gallons into a pint glass.  It does not and will not work. 

How fucking many has the UK taken in, hm? What are you even talking about here? Migrants from or outside EU? You voted against those from the EU when it was researched and proved they benefited the UK you idiot. The EU counties from where those people come are pissed because their best workforce leave them, especially in Eastern Europe where there is a massive brain drain.

I do 100% believe we have an undeniable moral obligation to take in refugees.

And that is the most irrational, superstitious, cretinous,  dogmatic  belief system known to mankind. Congrats ed, we got a winner here.  

Or are you talking about the legit refugees (those with a valid cause)?   Those  account for 2.5% max. of the incoming mass.   Likely even less.

There's big wide fact-filled world out there, ed.    Scary i know, but you're a big girl.

I said "I agree that we can't afford all economic migrants. I do 100% believe we have an undeniable moral obligation to take in refugees." you moron. Show me where it says the refugees are only 2.5%. Last number I saw even in your side's disgusting media was 40%. If some effort is put into the issue (and it seems like it is), the war in Syria should end in 1-2 years and people can start rebuilding there. Until then, the influx of people (even counting the non-refugees) won't bankrupt Europe Wooster.

I keep talking about the UK because you are there. The UK took in massive numbers of refugees during and after the second WW. The UK took in a huge number of Hungarian refugees after the revolution.

November 1956: The first of 2,500 Hungarian refugees offered settlement in Britain arrive at Blackbushe airport in Hampshire

Now the UK has a list of less than 500 unaccompanied children in the Calais refugee camp that HAVE ALREADY BEEN CHECKED and fill all the criteria and have all the rights to be given asylum, including their arrival there before march 2016. How many has the UK taken in so far? 20. Why? Because of lowly scum like you who have turned the word refugee into something vile, into the enemy. Because of political pressures to act like petty scum made by you petty scum.

In Calais there are 10000 people stuck in that camp. They can't go back, can't move forward. Wtf do you think happens there? Especially with the children, who are orphaned and no one gives a shit about them. Hell even in prisons males, females and children are separated. Take that number of people from pretty much any country and force them to live together in those conditions, see what happens. For those kids every day there is fucking hell, and you bitter dried up cunt have found the mission in your worthless life to make shit even harder for them (I remember you were spreading leaflets in the street at some point weren't you?). You've always seemed a revolting stuck up bitch to me, but now that I learned more about how you think you pretty much are the posterchild for stupidity, selfishness and pettiness Wooster.
