The Repub Debate


Recommended Posts


 

Except it's not just casinos. He's had condo resorts go bust screwing over investors who are basically average americans buying a spot. He's also lent his name only to projects that go bust, and lent his name only on most of "his" buildings. Trump University... need I say more? Trump Vodka, Trump magazine, Trump airlines, Trump travel, Trump steaks, Trump Mortgage... all bust.

 

There's no problem with investing, giving your name, or taking a risk. But you gotta be smart about it, which he doesn't seem to be.

 

From an average person's standpoint, I can see how you think that. Have you ever watched Shark Tank? The Sharks invest in hundreds of companies on there, and not all of them become successful. The Sharks lose all or most of their money on a lot of their deals, but it's a law of averages. One investment that turns out great can make them millions and offset the ones that failed. That's how successful people work. They make quick, educated decisions and exhibit massive action. I will NOT critique Trump for several failed businesses, because that's a poor man's mindset.

 

As far as the bankruptcies, of the 4 bankruptcies that he's filed for, 3 of them were on casinos.

 

 

I think I see the problem.

 

You're getting your financial perspective from"Shark Tank" and "The Apprentice."

 

It's a tad more complicated than that, my friend.

Yeah.....that may be an issue.

I think I understand. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

A Trump Presidency would involve the US government creating a ton of new government programs and spend a boat load of money, on top of what we already spend. The "law of averages" says that one or two of those programs would be wildly successful and worth the money lost and people negatively impacted by the others.

 

I mean, that's how they do it on Shark Tank, right?

That's an interesting question. I think it depends on how much they actually invested, the tax implications and, most importantly, how much each of them cleared in salary from the show. Funny that they may have made more being filmed making bad investments than if they'd just made solid index based investments.

 

It's a goofy little show, but I find it entertaining at times.

Speaking of people who are uninformed...
