We recently learned just how bad Donald Trump is as a businessman. The New York Times has reported Trump lost a staggering $1 billion over a span of ten years (1985-1994). According to the Times, “Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer.” But didn’t Trump promise he would run the country like his business?
Here are some examples of how Trump is a man of his word:
- Trump’s “tax cuts” will increase the deficit by at least $1 trillion over a 10-year period (Joint Committee on Taxation)
- Trump’s trade battles cost the U.S. economy $7.8 billion in lost gross domestic product in 2018 (National Bureau of Economic Research)
- Under Trump’s tariffs, the U.S. lost 20,000 solar energy jobs (Forbes)
- Trump’s trade war with China could slash almost 1 million jobs from U.S. economy (Trade Partnership Worldwide)
- Because of Trump’s trade policies, more farmers are filing for bankruptcy (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
- As a direct result of Trump’s trade wars, Wisconsin’s milk farmers are facing extinction (New York Times)
Figures … of all the broken promises (new and better healthcare, draining the swamp, massive infrastructure project, etc.) this one, on how he would run the country (into the ground), Trump has kept!
