They fired him because he caused distress to other workers - not because it made them look bad, but the main point stands - these are apples to oranges comparisons. The issue is that the President uses his platform to rail against other people using their platform. Hypocrisy at it's best.
There are 3.5 billion reasons to think he's good at business. It must be nice to own golf courses and skyscrapers in NYC.
"Not completely true" vs "Untrue" One game had huge ratings, the monday night game. Most of the rest were down, some by a lot.
I tuned in the Monday night game just long enough to see if the Cowboys would stand for the Anthem. Probably a whole bunch did the same.
The league still has a large audience, but it's been declining the past few years. Trump is a TV guy, no? He was definitely making a dig at the league for its decline.
How much is Trump Tower worth? http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/16/news/trump-financial-disclosure-form/index.html President Trump reported hundreds of millions of dollars in income Friday in financial disclosure forms that shed more light on his vast business holdings. At his golf courses alone, Trump reported $288 million in income in the past year. That includes $19.8 million from his club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he has spent some weekends as president. The numbers were reported in a 98-page disclosure form signed by Trump this week and made public by the Office of Government Ethics. The report covers January 2016 through April 15, 2017. Trump reported $37.2 million in income in the past year from Mar-a-Lago, the private Florida resort where Trump hosted the president of China and ordered missile strikes against Syria. The club has doubled its membership fee in the past year. The Mar-a-Lago income figure was $7.4 million higher than on his previous financial disclosure filing, in May 2016. Trump reported $19.7 million in income through mid-April at his luxury Washington hotel, which has been a center of concerns about conflict of interest because of the possibility that foreign governments can curry favor with the president by booking rooms there. The hotel opened in September. The president reported up to $7 million in book royalties, including $1 million to $5 million from his book "Great Again: How to Fix Our Crippled America." He reported nearly $11 million from the Miss Universe pageant and an $84,000 pension from the Screen Actors Guild. All told, Trump brought in approximately $600 million to $650 million in employment assets and income -- or maybe more. The documents make it impossible to calculate precise totals. Officeholders are allowed to disclose figures in ranges, some of which are open ended. For example, his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland is listed as having a value of "over $50 million."
Does he own the tower or is it just his name on it? When You See 'Trump' On A Building, It Might Not Be What You Think Donald Trump got his start in real estate, and over the years he's owned and sold many of New York City's great buildings, including the Plaza Hotel and the St. Moritz. His image as a developer endures, even though these days, Trump's real estate holdings are surprisingly sparse. Ever since his presidential campaign took off, the Trump buildings have become full-blown New York City tourist attractions. Tour guide Ned Callon recently led a group of French and Chinese tourists as they snapped selfies beneath an oversized gold "TRUMP" sign at 40 Wall Street. He pointed it out, adding it's "now known as the Trump Building." "He is not a shy man," Callon said. "His name is on every single one of his buildings here in New York City." That oversized Trump name also appears on a series of luxury towers overlooking the Hudson River. But like many of his Manhattan properties, Trump doesn't actually own them. The towers are part of a West Side development that solidified Trump's real estate legacy in New York. They also set a pattern he followed on other projects, of licensing his name to other developers. You can see a breakdown of who owns what here.) Gabby Warshawer, the director of research with CityRealty.com, says Trump's West Side project is an example of his real success — in licensing his name to other projects and buildings. "Because a lot of buildings have been branded as Trump properties, it's assumed that Trump owns a lot more than he does," she says. Trump may no longer be considered one of the city's pre-eminent real estate developers. But he's been successful at making the buildings that do bear his name synonymous with opulence. Warshawer says the condo units in Trump buildings command a premium. The properties also provide Trump with international name recognition — a priceless commodity for any presidential hopeful.
You said he isn't a good businessman. You should define it better so we know what your narrative is. He clearly knows how to play the system and has for decades.
