Not just any businesses either, he bankrupted a casino... TWICE

It takes a special kind of stupid to bankrupt a fucking casino, twice

He failed to sell alcohol and beef to Americans

The only thing harder to do is to fail at selling sub-prime mortgages before the 2008 recession

which he also did

That was with very clear money laundering too.

How do you bankrupt a casino while also running a money laundering scheme and still fail? Someone should turn his life into a movie it'd be like anti breaking bad

Yeah but what’s the moral to the story? Keep failing over and over again and you’ll end up being the most powerful man in the world twice? Not a story that can be told without realising that the world is corrupt cesspool.

Bankruptcy is a strategy at the corporate level.
