Yeah I just don't see how this is going to turn out well.  He's not even in the white house yet and it's already a total circus.  I'd be surprised if he makes it through the first 4 years as well.

I still don't know what to think of him....he is sill campaigning.   He seems to be surrounding himself w/ wise people.  I hope they tell him to rise above the twitter childishness, being critical of individuals (Obama never got this part either) and stop being so publically over-reactive. I think twitter is OK for a prez to use but it needs to be at a different level.    I agree that he wont run for a 2nd term but nor reasons stated here. .

Trump is so self-absorbed that he will attack anyone who dares disagrees or challenges him. It doesn't matter who it is or if they are a D or an R.  He also has a habit of saying whatever he feels people at the time wants to hear, no matter how badly it may differ from what he's said before. He is a bullshit artist of the highest degree.  I am pretty sure that's going to eventually create an atmosphere where people on both sides of the aisle hate his guts. He doesn't care about rules and procedure and he will dig himself into hole after hole. His entire first term will be filled with scandal after scandal and investigation after investigation. Already he's pretty much locked in investigations into this Russia stuff for his first two years.  It will just be a matter of how long his flip flopping ball washers like Ryan and Chaffetz manage to stick with defending him.  If he loses Rs like them, he's done.

Good or bad...don't underestimate the guy.   As successful he's been in business, he is no buffoon.  His methods are very deliberate.

Meh. One can argue he's a mediocre businessman at best. And if you probe into the loans he received from his family (at one point his father bought $3.5M in gambling chips at Trump's casino but did not use them to keep the doors open), you can argue he underperformed compared to the market.

If he were a Democrat, you guys would be calling him a genius.

This is what wealthy folks do.  They gamble on ventures.  They put them in separate entities.  They don't always hit and when they don't, the investor folds them up.  Par for course, really.

Not really. I've detested him for his entire public life, during most of which he was a Democrat.

You mean, from before he declared he was running? Because he's jumped back and forth between the two parties more than women he's grabbed in inappropriate ways.

Actually, it came down to spending far more than he had, because he never bothered to balance the checkbook.

The only reason he isn't out on the streets, holding up a sign saying "The End is Nigh!" is because the investors had too much wrapped up in him at the time to let him go under. Since though, no US bank or loaning firm will loan him money.

I agree. He has always embodied the worst in American culture. Superficial, greedy, self-absorbed, and ostentatious.

I don't know about this.  Most of those that you hear about are better then Trump.  I think you'd be surprised at the number of wealthy that have companies that file for bankruptcy.  Our laws, unfortunately, get abused here.

It's well documented. If the bankers that held his debt, hadn't stepped in to save his sorry ass from himself, he would have lost everything.

Use a phrase to describe something, and someone chews your head off over it.

Of course, English is always literal when taking a well known figure of speech in it's obvious intended meaning makes your argument weaker. People who use that tactic definitely never get butthurt when it is used on them.

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.
