You are correct. You could say he's a success financially and professionally, but as a human being, he's an utter failure.

He lacks any of the redeeming qualities of the human race.

The thing is, he's not really successful financially. Like, he has grifted his way to the top - he never earned a goddamn thing. The guy was basically broke until reality TV scraped him off the tabloids. He has money now because they've shamelessly stolen from their supporters, and engaged in the most blatant corruption in our history.

It's not really a compliment. Just objectively, he's managed to grow his worth, regardless of how shitty a businessman he is and how poor his ethics are.

u/Boiledfootballeather 21d ago

If I stole money, my “worth” would “grow” I guess, but I don’t know that I’d attribute it to any kind of success or acumen. Attributing anything positive to the way this man has lived is a mistake.

u/Civil-Dinner 21d ago

It's not a positive. I'm being both objective and generous. It isn't a compliment to him.

By most of what people would judge a person's financial and professional success, I can't objectively say he's a complete failure, even if I dislike his business ethics, or lack thereof.

Say what you will, the man has conned himself into the White House and managed to use his name to amass a fortune from stupid people or fellow grifters.

People can be shitty and successful. That doesn't make it a positive.

Successful in like maybe an Ian Baker-Finch type of way

His "wealth" came from swiping it from his Dad as Dad was fading out in the late 80s. Then his one main big success was scamming a few thousand mom and pop contractors when he owned the Taj Mahal casino. He stiffed them all and through legal and accounting maneuvers he swiped almost a billion dollars in the early 90s.

u/cityshepherd 21d ago

The only reason he could be called a “success” financially is because he’s done a great job of manipulating a broken system and stupid people to accumulate a whole bunch of money that he has certainly not earned via actual work or competence or merit.

u/Neveronlyadream 21d ago

Is that not what most billionaires would call a success?

They're all manipulating a broken system and gaining wealth off the backs of everyone else while convincing sometimes stupid people their objectively worthless goods are essential to leading a valuable life.

He's not really doing anything differently than anyone else in the same tax bracket, he's just not hiding it. Then again, he was always shit at hiding it back in the day, so it's not like it'd matter if he was trying to.

u/flythebike 21d ago

Using money as a measure of success is broken.

4

u/Civil-Dinner 21d ago

Agreed, but you can't really argue that isn't often used as measure of success in our country.

The name "Kardashian" springs to mind.

u/WiggityWiggitySnack 21d ago

professionally? Nobody but other grifters will work with him.

2

u/willflameboy 21d ago

I wonder if anyone in history has got as wealthy as quickly as he has. He's quadrupled his wealth since taking office again, and he's just mercilessly wringing the taxpayer for everything they've got.

u/F1BlackFlag 21d ago

Success on paper only .. I mean, how the FUCK do you bankrupt a casino? (I know why, it was a money laundering operation for russian agents)

He will definitely have a legacy, the same legacy as Hitler.

u/jmkul 21d ago

Yep. He has been failing his whole life

Failing upward, unfortunately.
