Is Mr Trumps rhetoric of Making America Great Again match his record

It will be interesting to hear the answers. 

I will start with talking a little bit about the casinos that either carry his name and/or were sponsored by him. Forgetting their actual success or failures for a discussion a little bit later, do you REALLY believe that either New Jersey or Atlantic City is now better off because of them. If so I suggest you talk to some of the people who live in Atlantic City THAT question. 

Feel free to pitch in your own thoughts on this or ANY of his other ventures that have helped make America Great (or NOT). .

Trump's Atlantic City Casinos

Trump CasinosTrump Entertainment Resorts, which is composed of three Trump-owned casinos, all in Atlantic City, filed for bankruptcy for the fourth time in 2014. Trump has distanced himself from the company, saying that besides the company having his name, he has “nothing to do with it,” despite the fact that he owned 28% of its stock.

Still waiting to see if anyone really believe that Mr Trumps ventures are the type that will make America Great Again !  Not seeing it, but I will wait to see if others can convince me otherwise at least about that point 

Here is one more loser of Trumps in my mind. 

Trump University

First off Mr Trump's University is NOT a University at all. To even name it as such borders on unethical. Trump still faces lawsuits from the venture, including a $40 million suit from the New York attorney general for defrauding students and operating an unlicensed university.

Trump's China made products (making America Great Again - HA! Just making Trump money)


"The problem with our country is we don't manufacture anything anymore," Donald Trump told Fox News a year ago. "The stuff that's been sent over from China," he complained, "falls apart after a year and a half. It's crap." That very same Donald Trump has his own line of clothing, and it's made in ... China. (O.K., O.K. — not all of it. Salon, which reported this intriguing, head-scratching fact, notes that some of his apparel is from Mexico and Bangladesh.)

Well, since no one up to this point has chipped in on any of Trumps successes, there are quite a few mainly in the building and real estate areas including Trump Tower, 40 Wall Street, and Trump International Tower in Chicago. None of these however are aimed at the middle class which has for years been struggling but rather aimed at the elite and also aimed at lining Mr Trumps own pockets. Successes nevertheless.

As I noted above, these certainly ARE financial successes for Mr Trump. However, they are NOT the type of business ventures that will "make America Great Again" as almost 100% of these ventures cater to the well-to-do and Mr Trump himself.
