Trump could, and possibly will, chew obama up and spit him out like a bad taco...

I'm guessing there are tons of idiot liberals who don't even realize that they live in buildings that Trump owns who feel that he's a failure only because he rightfully criticizes Obama.

Really?

Donald Trump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Financial problems (1989–1997)

By 1989, the effects of the recession left Trump unable to meet loan payments. Trump financed the construction of his third casino, the $1 billion Taj Mahal, primarily with high-interest junk bonds. Although he shored up his businesses with additional loans and postponed interest payments, by 1991 increasing debt brought Trump to business bankruptcy[36] and the brink of personal bankruptcy. Banks and bond holders had lost hundreds of millions of dollars, but opted to restructure his debt to avoid the risk of losing more money in court. The Taj Mahal re-emerged from bankruptcy on October 5, 1991, with Trump ceding 50% ownership in the casino to the original bondholders in exchange for lowered interest rates on the debt and more time to pay it off.[47]

On November 2, 1992, the Trump Plaza Hotel was forced to file a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection plan after being unable to make its debt payments. Under the plan, Trump agreed to give up a 49% stake in the luxury hotel to Citibank and five other lenders. In return Trump would receive more favorable terms on the remaining $550+ million owed to the lenders and retain his position as chief executive, though he would not be paid and would not have a role in day-to-day operations.[48]


...Oh, my.

Speaking of hair, has anyone ever seen a photo of George Washington with his, say 30 year old, hair? I don't think I ever have.

He knows business, but obviously we can't have a gambler running a country.

...Oh, my.
Donald Trump has never filed for bankruptcy, a few of the businesses that he had ownership stakes in have filed for bankruptcy protection but that's a given when you're dealing with the number of business ventures that Donald Trump does. I'm not saying he's a good candidate for POTUS but at least try to be honest about the man when you're blindly attacking him. He's never filed for bankruptcy, he's a very accomplished businessman who's been overwhelmingly successful.
