Donald Trump hopes to convince the American people that he’s equipped to run the nation, but he has history of being incapable of running a business. Since the 1990s, Trump has failed miserably with several business ventures.
He once owed $4 billion to debtors and was forced to relinquish his Trump Shuttle airline, nearly 50 percent in the Grand Hyatt Hotel, a 282-foot yacht, and 50 percent of the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
Trump will be attempting to run for president as a member of the Tea Party. He has used his celebrity to bash President Obama and make false claims about his citizenship. During a recent interview, actor Robert De Niro compared Trump to a used car salesman.
“It’s like a big hustle,” he said. “It’s like being a car salesman. Don’t go out there and say things unless you can back them up. How dare you? It’s awful [to] just go out there and speak and say these terrible things.” –a.r.
