He does tend to oversell the product at times, as witnessed by 6 major bankruptcies.

But at least he had the great successes of Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Mortgage, Trump Vodka, Trump Magazine, Trump Network Vitamins (pyramid scheme), Trump Ice, etc etc etc etc.

All just really, really great and yuge successes. A tribute to his stable genius.

His biggest and most expensive project is one of those bankruptcies... or is it three of them?

It was also a casino... a casino went bankrupt.

He's a very successful real estate tycoon and hotelier. Beyond that his business resume is...?

Basically he's Conrad Hilton.

And a really really really good salesman.

Breaking: Michael Cohen, Holding His Cards Close to the Vest, Has Hired a New Lawyer

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018...d-a-new-lawyer

.... Last week, multiple reports said Cohen was ditching his current legal team from the firm McDermott, Will, & Emery, which included attorneys Stephen Ryan, Joseph Evans, and Todd Harrison. The attorneys have not yet filed to US District Judge Kimba Wood a notice to withdraw from the case.

Some of the reports said the change made it likely that Cohen would cooperate with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, possibly even "flipping" on Trump and providing the government with damaging information on him.

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told Business Insider on Tuesday that Petrillo is "the kind of lawyer you would hire if you wanted to keep open the option of cooperation."

Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Resigns From RNC — Tells Friends He’s ‘Willing to Give Info’ on the President
Cohen also blasted the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy on his way out the door.

Looks like a disgruntled former employee.

Nothing to see
Move along, Trumpeteer cultists

He must have learned how to do this from Hillary while she was attending his wedding.

Oh, you didn't know? The Clintons and all her minions and fans worldwide used to love Trump...until he whipped her ass in the Electoral College...

Now she's exacting the only revenge she can...because it's a lot harder to try and mug the POTUS and shoot him in the back of the head, which is the normal MO for Clinton INC.

Alternet? Didn't you blast someone for using that website at least once in your life on here?

Let Cohen SING already and get it over with...

Why does all this take so long? Is it because they still have nothing?

I mean, you'd think Bueller would have wanted to get this all out well before midterm elections so as not to look like he's trying to influence anything...so he didn't have anything to get out there...and now even if he does, he can't really do anything about it because the elections are almost upon us...

I guess it's a good way to keep that paycheck from the gubmint showing up every two weeks....

Will his info be lies like the revised witness statements fro others, such as Flynn?
That's right...BREAKING: FBI ALTERS 302's

Buckle your seat belts, Neverlanders - the road is going to get bumpy.
