Serial backruptcies.
His net worth is less than what one could have aquired by putting his inheritance in a mutual fund.
Past predicts future behaviors.
And yet here we are, the man is famous, richer than you or me, and about to be elected for the third time as president.Seems the op is asking about the benefit of his business acumen. Your answer, assuming he has any, is that it benefits only the orange one. That certainly tracks with everything he does.
So I'd say he's good enough of a businessman Originally Posted by TravelingHere

I’ve always been confused by people who think a good businessman would make a good President.I couldn't disagree more, txdot. Most of the people running the government are lawyers. They measure their success by how many new laws they enact. I would much rather see government staffed by competent "public servants" with business experience who know how to earn a profit - which in the case of government means running a surplus, not the perennial deficits of $2+ trillion year in & year out that we are currently saddled with!
Without debating Trump’s business acumen the fact is that Government is not a business. I would much rather have someone who shows acumen for good governance rather than good business in the office of the president. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

He just listed "Serial bankruptcies."
I don't know how you define "serial." But Trump's companies have filed six business related bankruptcies. Sounds like....serial to me.

In fact, some of it runs counter to unlimited growth. But, damn, if they take care of those five core values, only the most selfish would take issue with them.
