Here are some more Making America Great Again for Mr Trump

Trump Airlines

In October 1988, Donald Trump threw his wallet into the airline business by purchasing Eastern Air Shuttle, a service that for 27 years had run hourly flights between Boston, New York City and Washington, D.C. For roughly $365 million, Trump got a fleet of 17 Boeing 727s, landing facilities in each of the three cities and the right to paint his name on an airplane. Trump pushed to give the airline the Trump touch, making the previously no-muss, no-fuss shuttle service into a luxury experience. To this end, he added maple-wood veneer to the floors, chrome seat-belt latches and gold-colored bathroom fixtures. But his gamble was a bust. A lack of increased interest from customers (who favored the airline for its convenience not its fancy new look) combined with high pre–Gulf War fuel prices meant the shuttle never turned a profit. The high debt forced Trump to default on his loans, and ownership of the company was turned over to creditors. The Trump Shuttle ceased to exist in 1992 when it was merged into a new corporation, Shuttle Inc.

If you are trying to prove that Trump has had failures you are 100% correct! Successful people fail!
That is part of life! Trump has failed in business ventures.

I understand that. 

MOST business ventures fail within the first year. 

What I am attempting to illustrate is that in particular Mr Trumps ventures generally have nothing to do at all with the common mans plight and his pledge to "Make America Great Again". Mr Trump is a skillful money maker (sometimes) whose ventures are NOT aligned with what America really needs (and in some cases such as what I listed as his China connections are in DIRECT CONTRAST to the pitch he is making about businesses should be producing their products here vs taking them overseas)

Bottomline for me is that people with business experience don't necessarily qualify them as potential presidents of a country.  Running and leading a country is not like running a business where the goal is to turn the biggest profit possible.  America is not a corporation, although the line between the two is getting blurry, I'll give you that.  

I will agree with you on that Fred.  Being a successful businessman does not make someone a great political leader.  You need look no further than the governor of our state, Tom Wolf.
