LOL, I started to look into Trump Mortgage and came across this gem.

 

A few quotes from the article.

Quote: 

One of the interesting bits of cognitive dissonance in Donald Trump’s campaign is that he relies on his business career to validate his ability to run the country. In Trump’s mind, and in the mind of many of his supporters, he has a veritable Midas touch. The facts suggest just the opposite. Virtually every project Trump is involved in that doesn’t merely consist of licensing his name to someone else is a smoking lump of fail:

 
Trump Airlines– bankrupt

Trump Vodka– folded

Trump Casinos– bankrupt

Trump: The Game– folded

Trump Magazine– folded

Trump Steaks– folded

Trump University– fraud-o-rama

 
This is not to say he hasn’t had some success, but he has had more than his fair share of failure. Now we have another entrant to the list that not only demonstrates his lack of management skill but his deficiency of strategic timing: Trump Mortgage.
 

<div>In the spring of 2006, the tycoon hosted a glitzy event at Trump Tower to introduce Trump Mortgage LLC, a new firm that specialized in selling
residential and commercial real estate loans. He devoted a floor of the Trump Organization headquarters at 40 Wall Street to the new business. And his picture appeared atop the company website with the instruction: “Talk to My Mortgage Professionals now!”
 
“I think it’s a great time to start a mortgage company,” Trump told a CNBC interviewer in April 2006, adding that “the real estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come.”
 
Within 18 months, as the experts’ worst fears began to pan out and home prices began to dip, Trump Mortgage closed, leaving some bills unpaid and a spotty sales record that fell short of Trump’s lofty predictions.

It only gets better.

Quote: 

When Trump was asked why he was getting into residential real estate and “liars loans”
at the very moment that many major players were pulling back, he responded with some familiar sounding stuff:

<div> 
He batted away skepticism from CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo, who cited a 10 percent decline in new home sales in one recent month.
 
“I think the market is very good,” Trump responded. “We’re going to have a great company. It’s Trump Mortgage and trumpmortgage.com. And it’s going to be a terrific company,”one he predicted would quickly become an industry leader.
 
Trump derided economists during the broadcast, saying they were often unable to predict significant events.
 
“I went to the Wharton School of Finance. I was actually a very good student, believe it or not, but I’ve never been a huge believer in forecasting what’s going to happen because you really never know what happens down the road,” he said.

 

</div>
 
You can't make this stuff up.  His followers think that he's some "prestigious" business man, but when looking into some of the facts and details, it looks more like he is a con man.
 
The bottom line is, if it's a Hillary vs. Trump general election, I'll probably either write in a candidate or stay home (actually go to work).
