Donald "Clown Show" Trump (R) It’s that time in the presidential political cycle when, Donald Trump pretends he's running for President. The thing is, Trump would make a very good Republican candidate. What is that based on? The party voted for Sarah Palin.
If you lie about your successes and bully people to avoid answering a question, you’re a perfect candidate. Trump has incorporated this into his entire life. Pretending success and using other people’s money is critical to securing any of Trump’s business schemes.
Trump has swindled people for years by lying and acting like a bully. He loves to threaten to sue people. When you look at this more closely, this behavior is actually understandable. He has built a gigantic façade that keeps him in the game…sort of.
Ask yourself this question, if your father gave you a billion dollars, would you still have it? Let’s think about putting that money into an index fund and living off the return. Over the last two presidents, the return is somewhere around the average of 8%*. That is $80 million to play with, almost like hitting the lottery annually.
The fact is, Trump has now declared bankruptcy six times. The self-proclaimed world’s greatest business man churns out bankruptcies like its a new product line. His game is to pretend he can afford a building, file bankruptcy to fleece shareholders and creditors, then he gives up partial ownership in the building and they all forgive him. Wash and repeat.
When you watch his Twitter feed, there is a constant re-tweeting of “please run in 2016” comments from the same Republicans who demand private sector experience**. I guess absolute failure in business is acceptable to Fox News watchers. Bankruptcy is a complete failure. I realize a business can get into a situation when this is necessary.
Exactly how many times is it acceptable to Republicans to screw creditors, shareholders and tax payers out of their money because you suck at running a business? Is it 3 times? 6 times? 20 times? After Trump declares bankruptcy the 20 time, will any Republican care? I doubt it.
Read his Twitter feed an you will fully understand why Trump is the Bankruptcy Queen of Wall Street. Trump simply repeats a talking point without exerting any energy independently thinking. It's clear he doesn't research anything.
When you actually dig deeper into his statements, they expose an astounding stupidity that begins to weaken the gigantic facade he has built through his bullying. Trump doesn't realize his pretend policy positions and written thoughts show clearly he has no idea how governance works and has no idea whatsoever what the day-to-day activity of the president consists of.

After reading what he has to say, we begin to understand Trump’s failure in business. If we examine Sarah Palin (R), George W. Bush (R), Rick Perry (R), etc. we see the trend of selecting a candidate that's not the sharpest tool in the shed. All were magnificent failures in business. These candidates were nothing more than Republican circus acts, Clown Shows, so to speak. Trump is the perfect Republican candidate. He is the ultimate Clown Show, but with one caveat. He will sue you if you tell the truth about him.
When you investigate the sue-happy Trump, and find a case where he actually had to give a deposition, you find out his net worth is nowhere close to what he says it is. That’s right, Trump lied about his net worth and then sued someone for exposing his lying about his net worth.
The Democratic Party should be working every angle they can to make sure the Trump Clown Show is performing in the 2016 election. I doubt Trump will actually run for a few reasons. He doesn't have enough money to run and he would be in danger of destroying the facade. It doesn't look like he would do anything that would prevent his ability for another opportunity to fuck creditors, tax payers and shareholders.

*Let us not forget, a $10,000 investment during the Bush administration would have been $9,000 after Republican policies destroyed the economy and were forced to use taxpayer money to bail us out, twice. During the Obama administration that same investment regained the Bush losses, and made up for all the return you were supposed to see during that unfortunate time in our history. Check it out for yourself.
**Unless you’re Paul Ryan who has had a few months of private sector experience.
