I have several very wealthy Jewish clients. None of them, or their families, need to worry about money. Now all of them participate in some fraternal organization or other, building hospitals, contributing money, doing other work, etc. , etc. , when they could just put their money into a bank and sit on a beach. So, they could just accumulate money, and have even more impressive bank account balances, but that doesn't benefit anybody else. These are just a couple of random examples of why people may not be interested in simply trying to increase their net worth.
Now in Trump's case, I have no idea whether or not what you say is true. I've read it before, but nobody really knows. But, again, I don't think that was the overall object. If one goes to the trouble of developing, say, a luxury hotel, yes you expect a handsome return on your investment. But there are far more benefits to society as a whole. Just for example, it employs hundreds of people in the construction of the building. It then employs hundreds more to run that business. Housekeeping, kitchen, laundry, management, on and on and on. And let's not forget the tax revenue the city / state / federal government reap from that business. What value do you put on these accomplishments? Did Trump (or whoever the developer is) better serve mankind by doing this, or would mankind have been better served if he just stashed his money in a CD and sat on a beach?
I also suspect, and this isn't aimed at you, that many critics of his business acumen have never owned a business or invested in one. Loads of smart money invested heavily in, say, Atlantic City. Damn near every one of them lost their ass. For whatever reason, and there are many, Atlantic City could not support that many casinos. When big-money investors pick a loser, and it flops, they use the bankruptcy laws. You can like it, or hate it, but that's the way it works. If folks don't like it, petition congress and have the laws changed. To criticize anyone for taking advantage of whatever tax laws are on the books is silly.
My point is that saying a guy is incompetent because an investment went bad is based in general ignorance. Saying he's incompetent because he didn't increase his net worth as much as one thinks he should have is Monday morning quarterbacking.

PP the typical blather mouth.
The Donald is harming the country, unlike the good performances of other world leaders.

I made a comment about what a bad governor Newsome has been. Then the Whaddabout chorus started. Yeah, whaddabout Trump?? He's incompetent!! I commented that a guy who goes around in his "personal" 757, who has a billion or so dollars, who defeated around a dozen other candidates to win the GOP nomination, and who beat the "shoo-in" Hillary, can hardly be considered "incompetent" regardless of what anyone thinks about him, personally.
This prompted your whaddabout non-sequiters concerning his handling of COVID-19, and other completely unrelated issues. So, I ignored those, not being germane to the subject at hand. If you wish to open a CV thread, by all means do so and we can debate it there. I then essentially said that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Now if you wish to discuss how such an incompetent boob as The Donald was able to accomplish these things, by all means let's hear your reasoning.

Your argument is factual. But I personally have far more respect for the entrepreneur than the trust fund kid.

He's a traitor plain and simple.

Let's say he was given 1 million by daddy. Or 10 million. Or even 100 million. He turned that into multi billions. Like him or not, that is a success story.
And the other point was that his failures did not define or deter him. Sure, some will point to his failures out of political rage or jealousy. But by brand or by net worth, and certainly in power, he is in elite status. Hate him all you want for other reasons. But don't argue he's a failure. That's just not a valid argument.

The woman who alleged her NASA astronaut ex-wife broke into her bank account from space has been charged with making false statements.
David Choi Apr 8, 2020,3:08 PM.
The former wife of Anne McClain, a NASA astronaut, was charged with making false statements to federal authorities, the Justice Department said.
In her initial complaint, Summer Worden claimed that McClain, whom she married in 2014 and later filed for divorced, had improperly accessed her bank account. Authorities say that the dates of Worden's initial allegations did not add up.
Worden reportedly said she was surprised by the charges and that she mistakenly provided investigators with the wrong dates.

The former wife of US Army LT. Col. Anne McClain, a NASA astronaut, was charged with two counts of making false statements to federal authorities, the Justice Department announced Monday.
Former Air Force intelligence officer Summer Worden was charged with filing a false complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and making false statements during an interview with NASA's Office of Inspector General (OIG) in 2019.
In her initial complaint, Worden claimed that McClain, whom she married in 2014 and later filed for divorced in 2018, had improperly accessed her bank account.
Worden, who previously shared her online bank accounts with McClain, claimed that she opened a new bank account and reset her account's information to prevent others from accessing it in September 2018.
Worden alleged that McClain had accessed her bank account until January 2019, while she was on a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station. If the allegations are true, it would mark the first time a crime was committed in space.
In a previous complaint, Worden's parents reportedly alleged McClain accessed the account as part of a "highly calculated and manipulated campaign" for the custody of Worden's then-6-year-old son, who was born before they married.
But authorities say that Worden opened her new account five months prior to her claimed date, and that she "did not change her login credentials until January 2019. ".
Worden told The New York Times that she was surprised by the charges. She added that she mistakenly provided investigators with the wrong dates and had later corrected herself.
"I didn't misrepresent anything," she reportedly said.
McClain's attorney said that their client did use the account amid the ongoing divorce procedures, with Worden's knowledge, in order to keep their finances in order, according to The Times. McClain added that Worden had never told her the bank account was not to be accessed, and that she had used the same password she was using during their relationship.
In a tweet in 2019, McClain said "there's unequivocally no truth to these claims."
"We've been going through a painful, personal separation that's now unfortunately in the media," McClain said. "I appreciate the outpouring of support and will reserve comment until after the investigation. ".
Worden could face up to five years in prison for each charge and a possible $250,000 maximum fine if convicted, the Justice Department said.

The argument is whether Trump is a successful businessman or not. And the clear answer is no. All those failed investments and bankruptcies. And he underperformed the market. By over a billion dollars over a 45 year period. That is all you need to know. Case closed.
