Trump's business failures listed by his own partners

We do know there was no mention of Biden's "hostile" policies affecting oil production in testimony delivered by oil company executives to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Lincoln was a lousy businessman.
I don't really give a shit what Trump did in the 90s. I know what he did from 2016 to 2000 and he made this country a helluva lot better than it is today.
Gas prices were already going way up by the time Russia invaded.
Your talking point has been so discredited, you really look stupid when you say stuff like that.
.... and just like that, Democrats are worried about the debt!
Yeah, that's what happens when your exploration options are limited and you don't have to spend money on finding new sources. Your costs go down!
So, oil companies can thank Biden's policies for their increased profits. Thanks, Brandon!
You realize the economy was hampered by Covid shutdowns, right?
Listen to the news sometime.
Eight snarky posts in a row from you, danc. Is that your new personal best?
I, too, really don't care what Trump did in the '90s except in the context of responding to morons who continue to amplify the myth that he is a self-made billionaire. We never would have heard of DJT but for Fred's enormous wealth coupled with the financial support and bailouts he frequently provided to his son. And, of course, the $400 million inheritance also came in handy.
As far as his presidency goes, he'll be most remembered for what happened from November 3, 2020 to January 20, 2021 and beyond. Think Nixon. It's that kind of legacy, and worse.
At least you're not trying to argue 2016-2000 was far better for the country than it is today.
Even before being president, if you asked Americans who was the richest real estate owner in the world, a good many would say Donald Trump.
Forbes magazine tells a different story. According to Forbes, Trump didn’t make it into the top 400 of the world’s wealthiest real estate owners. Those ahead of Trump on the list aren’t well known as compared to Trump.
Thus when it comes to promoting his name, Trump is at the top of the list. However when it comes to actually accumulating wealth in the game of real estate, Trump is far down on the list

He's a self-promoter, obviously.
That's part of marketing - it's what business people do.....
There are many successful business people who promote their products and company name while going virtually unknown. Almost all of them never go bankrupt even once.
Right, they promote their products and company name.
Guess what the name of Trump's company is?
You can't be serious about companies not declaring bankruptcy. General Motors declared bankruptcy, for God's sake. Chrylser. Any number of major companies.
Yet, somehow, Trump is a failed businessmand because some of his companies have declared bankruptcy. But, of course, the standards are different for Trump.
Self-promotion? Marketing? That's all it is? Seriously?
It's a con game. And Trump (a/k/a John Barron) is a master of the game. Maybe the best ever.
Here's an example.
That time Trump claimed to be 'John Barron' to lie about his wealth, as told by an ex-Forbes writer
President Trump lied his way onto the Forbes list of richest Americans and used a fake persona to do so, according to a former writer for the magazine.
"A former writer for Forbes charges that President Trump used a fake personality to lie his way onto the magazine’s list of richest Americans."Self-promotion? Marketing? That's all it is? Seriously?

Oh, is that what a 'former writer" charges? How convincing.
I'll bet that was a hot topic 4 years ago, when that character assassintation was published. And from the Washington Post, no less. We all know they wouldn't lie or fail to do investigative research.......
DANC, you are, of course, correct as a number of companies over the years carry the name of the founder,
Interestingly the Trump Organization is on the list with the founder being Fred Trump, not The Donald.

I'm going to dumb this down for you, friend.
First, it's not character "assassintation," as you call it, if it's truthful.
Next, Jonathan Greenberg is referred to as a "former writer" for Forbes because he doesn't write for Forbes any longer. "Former" means "previous." He was, though, a writer for Forbes when Trump, as John Barron, called him and lied his way onto the Forbes 400 list. The Post's story was from former (previous) Forbes writer Greenberg's first-hand account.
Trump has admitted to using aliases in past dealings with the media.
I can't figure out whether you're alarmingly stupid or just nuts. I think I'll go with both. And don't accuse me of character assassination, danc. As I indicated previously, it's not character assassination (or assassintation, if you prefer) if the statement's true.
I remember hearing an audiotape of the phone conversation with "John Barron". It was so obviously Trump's voice that you'd think even someone who is DANC-dumb would figure out the ruse.

Seems to me the negative political ads used by politicians in both parties are akin to character assassination even when truthful, just exaggerated, or somewhat deceiving.
Wouldn't character assassination based upon lies be more accurately described as being libel ?

Apparently a contaminated baby formula production plant is Biden’s fault too. Although Dems are trying to pass two different bills to help with the formula problem. Guess who’s voted against it? And why aren’t all these “save the babies” republicans donating money to Abbot so they can get their production going sooner? Oh, wait, it’s because they don’t care about babies that have actually been born. They care about fetuses. You don’t have to inconvenience yourself a whole lot to do something for fetuses.
I think you're right, legally speaking. It's more of a defamation thing. But I just looked up the term "character assassination" and got this:
char·ac·ter as·sas·si·na·tion
/ˈker(ə)ktər əˌsasnˈāSHən/
noun
The malicious and unjustified harming of a person's good reputation.
Given the last two words in the definition, I don't know how anyone could possibly be accused of character assassination when it comes to Trump.
No, he wants to move the country away from oil. I'm saying the political right blames Biden for high prices more than the industry itself does.
Trump might have a good reputation with the ladies who don't mind getting grabbed down there

Apparently the principal of supply & demand is Biden’s fault too.
Yes, America is so lucky that "81 million " voted for Biden. He has changed American from that horrible Trump administration.
I didn't watch all 6 hours of the hearing so I guess I'll have to take your word. But I have seen several on CNBC who heap plenty of blame on Biden's policies.
Floor called it immediately. Words have consequences. Of course Biden's words and actions are a contributing factor. The admin of endless excuses and blame-shifting. Our reps rely on tribalism and stupidity.
I have little doubt that many or even most of the candidates who competed with Trump for the GOP nomination in 2016 would have defeated Biden if they had been the nominee in 2020. Trump, as always, is his own worst enemy and has nobody to blame but himself.
You mentioned luck. Here's how I see it. America is lucky that Trump was unsuccessful in his unprecedented, anti-democratic and disgraceful effort to subvert the will of the people and overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Eastman provides new details of Trump’s direct role in legal effort to overturn election
The court filing describes the direct role of Trump himself in developing strategy, detailing “two hand-written notes from former President Trump about information that he thought might be useful for the anticipated litigation.”

Once again, you've been hooked like a fish by speculation from an old article pushed by a Democrat talking point.
I know you got it from some lefty newsletter or media - I saw the same article posted by someone on FB. Now how does a 4 year old article suddenly get play in 2022 - 2 years after Trump was President.
Because you dupes get your marching orders from the media and push it like the good little bots you are.
You are a clown puppet.

Boy, for someone who is supposedly on his ignore list, you do seem to be obsessed with me!I remember hearing an audiotape of the phone conversation with "John Barron". It was so obviously Trump's voice that you'd think even someone who is DANC-dumb would figure out the ruse.

Biden's known about it for months. Yes, it's Biden's fault the FDA didn't make it a priority to feed babies.
Now go back to your swamp.
