Trump is not a skilled negotiator, he is not a competent businessman, he is not a leader.

Trump is a con man, a bigot, and a racist, it is all he will ever be.

he is quite stupid. Doesn't take smarts to be a con man.
Just takes being dishonest.

He is in the wrong place. He should go somewhere else and let someone competent do the job he cannot do.

but, yeah, that kind of describes him.

Most of his "wins" are based on cheating sub-contractors and manipulating the legal system through lawsuits and threats of lawsuits.

I was just about to post similar - bullying small and mid-sized contractors is a big part of his MO.

Mark Burnett invented Trump's personna on The Apprentice to make Trump look good. Trump was just playing a role. Trump just came to believe this invented personna and continues to run with it. Bottom line he is just a fake.

I'm surprised that Trump didn't appoint Mark Burnett to his WH staff. Maybe Burnett is the only person that can get through to Trump.
