Money ain’t about paper and numbers it’s access and power.

He gets an A plus plus in capitalism

The proof is in the pudding. He ain’t never not been able to order the best steak and stay in the best room with the best view.

Say what you want. You can’t out hate Trump me but the myth that he’s bad with money is a joke. Idc if he started a million up he kept it rolling big ****ing time. That’s just the truth. That’s how capitalism works and what it rewards. Period.

He didn't go bankrupt, he received protection from bankruptcy and got to keep his millions. I think it speaks to the power of his branding that people think that his name alone could float him.

You could say he has pretty **** business tactics if filing for bankruptcy is consistently the smart option.

I literally had to babysit him from ****ing with the machine so I don't have to spend hours with him slowing us down as he throws a tantrum at kegs not lining up because he was ****ing with the machine.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

But he is bad with money. The proof is in his inability to properly run a business without government, family, and credulous investor assistance. His skill as a manipulator to get that assistance is beyond question though. I'd love to see what he could do with his own cult.
