I noticed you neglect the 10 years he spent as a state and US Senator, his work as teacher of constitutional law, as well as his education at the Harvard School Law and President of the Harvard Law Review and prefer to concentrate on the 3 years he worked part time as a community organizer.And of course that qualifies him to be commander in chief of the armed forces, and the leader of the free world, right?That may well be true. However, a candidate for president who uses his business expertise as his sole qualification for the presidency should not have a record of bankruptcies in which he left creditors holding a billion dollars in worthless bonds while he wallows in wealth. Contrary to Trump's claims bankruptcy is not common is large businesses. In fact, no major US company has filed for Chaper 11 more than Trump's casino empire in the last 30 years.Let's look at those bankruptcies
- The Trump Taj Mahal built at a cost of more that a billion dollars housing a over dozen other business with employment of over 3,000 people.
- Trump Plaza Hotel which cost 400 million dollars and employed 800 people.
- Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts, a multi-billion dollar enterprise employing thousands.
- Trump Entertainment Resorts, another multi-billion dollar enterprise employing over 3,800.
These are not small business in a large enterprise. These business failures cost creditors hundreds of million and thousands of people lost jobs. For a presidential candidate whose only qualification is his business expertise, this is nothing to be proud of.
So many other issues not to vote for Trump. This isn't one of them. 90% of all businesses fail, that is the nature of business.
Do you have any idea how many business ventures Trump has? Construction, Entertainment, Real Estate, Hospitality, Diversified Investments, and more.
Each section of his business, has dozens of different business ventures, and in total The Trump organization has over 22,000 employees, not including contract work.
So out of dozens of business ventures that Trump is involved in, you focus on a casino bankruptcy, and a few others. 1 failure for 100 successes. By the way, the casino in Atlantic city, is one of dozens of failing businesses in Atlantic City. The whole city is in trouble.
Do tell.... What part of "community organizer" qualified Obama for Commander in Chief of the armed forces, and leader of the free world? The part where he sued Citibank to make bad loans?
The whole reason our founding fathers wanted a limited executive branch, was because they understood that no single individual would ever be supremely qualified in every single aspect of governance.
Which presidency throughout all human history, would you claim was completely qualified in all things? Every aspect of the economy, every aspect of international diplomacy, every aspect of military, every aspect of domestic law, every aspect of race?
Which guy was that perfect?
The fact you even think in these terms, is exactly why we were never supposed to vote on the president. But since you have demand democracy, instead of a republic, then you get what you get.
Do you really think Trump's skills in filing military deferments qualify him as Commander and Chief, his dozens of law suits against those that disrespect him has given him in depth knowledge of our constitution and laws, his time spent golfing and selling property around the world has given him a firm foundation in geopolitics. The fact is Donald Trump is well qualified to run a property development and real estate firm. If we ever need a president to develop resorts and casinos, Trump's the man.
