There is no organization with a shred of sense that would hire Trump as CEO. Criminal and civil indictments and some convictions ... and others likely to follow. A LONG history of business failures. Six business bankruptcy filings. The one time he was CEO of a publicly traded company, he bankrupted it in just a few years. Many public statements, any ONE of which would lead to the dismissal of the speaker from leadership in any real business. ....  
.
Don't take my word for it. Take it from Trump himself. From the filings prepared by Trump and his lawyers for the SEC:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/sec.irpass.cc/2660/0001193125-24-038590.htm
Date: 2/16/2024 Form: 424B4 - Prospectus [Rule 424(b)(4)]
See pages 130-134.
"Risks Related to our Chairman President Donald J. Trump"
"The death, incarceration, or incapacity of President Trump, or discontinuation or limitation of his relationship with TMTG, may negatively impact TMTG’s business. "
"Donald J. Trump is the subject of numerous legal proceedings, the scope and scale of which are unprecedented for a former President of the United States and current candidate for that office. An adverse outcome in one or more of the ongoing legal proceedings in which President Trump is involved could negatively impact TMTG and its Truth Social platform."
"A publicly-traded entity controlled by President Trump has previously been subject to a cease and desist order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. "
"A number of companies that were associated with President Trump have filed for bankruptcy. There can be no assurances that TMTG will not also become bankrupt. "
"A number of companies that had license agreements with President Trump have failed. There can be no assurances that TMTG will not also fail."
.
And that self-reported list does not include business failures and DoJ charges that are not required to be reported there. See http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/politics-and-religion-39/re-like-most-new-yorkers-ive-had-years-to-watch-trump-432618 for a PARTIAL discussion.

Here is some of detail of Trump's "CEO" ability as head of publicly traded Trump casino and hotel group.
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/politics-and-religion-39/is-this-the-100-m-tax-lien-439185
"As its stock collapsed, Trump’s firm gave him huge bonuses and paid for his jet."
"Trump was the chairman of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts in Atlantic City from 1995 to 2009, his only outing as the head of a major public company. During that time, the company lost more than $1 billion ... share prices plunged from a high of $35 to as low as 17 cents. Trump received more than $44 million in salary, bonuses and other compensation during his time at the company ..."
"The company lost money every year of Trump’s leadership, and its share price suffered. A shareholder who bought $100 of DJT shares in 1995 could sell them for about $4 in 2005. The same investment in MGM Resorts would have increased in value to about $600. ..."  
.
I previously posted but got no reply to:
"Lastly, some Qs for the MAGA businessmen reading this:  
1. Would you ever enter into a biz deal with Trump? One where you get a contract to provide goods or services and Trump agrees to pay you later? Will you hold your breath until you get paid?
2. Would you ever LEND Trump a large sum of money? Under what conditions? What security?  
3. Have any of you donated money to Trump's legal defense fund? (Full disclosure: I have not.)"
.
There is ONE organization w/o a shred of sense that would hire Trump as CEO: publicly traded DJT (Trump Media & Technology Group), a meme stock with a market cap of ~$6B based on income (losses) of ($60M) in the last quarter. (I don't want to make predictions about DJT because there is NOTHING rational about its price which is controlled by MAGAs bidding it up and up.)
.
Stock analysts are warning investors that DJT is a meme stock that will likely crash when Trump dumps his shares.
Gov and policy analysts who KNOW Trump and WORKED for Trump are warning Americans that Trump is a peril to the US democracy.

Re: post from X  
 ...........when it comes to politics use emotions instead of facts and reality to form an opinion as to what is right or wrong..........
This is EXACTLY how we ended up with the president that we have right now.  
   
 How many people do you know who said "I'll vote for anyone as long as it's not Donald Trump"  
 Meaning,  I'll vote for a complete failure of a leader just BECAUSE it's not Donald Trump.  
   
 Would you hire the manager or CEO of your company that way? I think not.

...pictures of the three buses outside of Wayne County Airport in Detroit.  In his post with the photos, Rep. Matt Maddock said, "Happening right now.  Three buses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro.  Anyone have any idea where they're headed with their police escort?"

 
However, a spokesperson with the Wayne County Airport Authority sent a statement to CBS News Detroit, saying, "The four men's basketball teams competing in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 at Little Caesars Arena arrived at DTW Wednesday evening.  The buses seen in a photograph circulating online were transporting the basketball teams and their respective staffs."

 
Why are righties crazy racists?

 
http://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/matt-maddock-falsely-claims-illegal-invaders-detroit-metro-airport-it-was-ncaa-baskebtall-teams/

Looks like Matt’s got some egg on his face.

Righty Rep. Matt Maddock did not have to vet his source... HE WAS THE SOURCE.  HE saw the "illegal invaders."
HE photographed the "illegal invaders" and HE posted the photos of the "illegal invaders."
Now go wipe that egg off your face.

It’s not clear from CBS’s report whether the pics were taken by Matt or sent to him by a constituent.  If you’ve got confirmation that Matt was at the airport at the same time the basketball teams were, and took the pictures himself, feel free to update your OP below.

You say it’s not clear from CBS’s report whether the pics were taken by Matt or sent to him by a constituent.  If you’ve got confirmation that Matt was NOT at the airport at the same time the basketball teams were, and took the pictures himself, feel free to update your post above. .

Realizing his post is debunked, he asks me to prove a negative, when the onus to reply is on him.

You were the first to claim he was NOT the source so it's up to YOU to prove it.  But since you're a righty weasel:

"Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow wrote on social media that Maddock’s post is 'dangerous.'

'A sitting State Representative sees a group of busses at the airport and immediately yells ‘illegal invaders’ which is a pretty rude (and also, frankly, dangerous) way to greet the Gonzaga Men’s Basketball Team arriving for March Madness,' McMorrow wrote."
http://www.huffpost.com/entry/michigan-representative-buses-airport-illegal-invaders-basketball-players-ncaa_n_6605aaece4b05f4de328250f

The real point is that righties are bat shit crazy!

BigP claims that the GOP Representative was at the airport, but the CBS story he linked to doesn’t say the representative was at the airport or that he took the photo of the busses in question.

I invited him to post proof of his claim when he found it.

If you’ve got confirmation that Matt was at the airport at the same time the basketball teams were, and took the pictures himself, feel free to update your OP below.
He initially balked, but after pointing out he was just stepping in his own shit again, he did grudgingly come around, searched the internet and found the info that backed up his initial claim. It took a while, but maybe that’s all we can expect from a cut rate paralegal…

...without questioning it because it was "Good Enough For P&R Standards."  HUH?!  What The Fuck are "P&R Standards?"  Something CKS175 pulled out of his ass!  It means he was too lazy to find a link himself or verify/disprove my link.
"P&R Standards" - ROFLMAO!!  What an idiot!!!

It’s pointed out that BigPapaTard’s follow up attempt to provide evidence was weak, but still meets P&R standards. A little tongue in cheek comment is apparently too much for him, or he’s apparently too stupid to recognize humor. Then again, both could be true.

...without questioning it because it was "Good Enough For P&R Standards."  HUH?!  What The Fuck are "P&R Standards?"  Something CKS175 pulled out of his ass!  
Tongue in cheek or not, there are P&R Standards that BigP rarely meets. He should be happy he was given credit for posting something that reached the standard (using a VERY generous measure of that standard).

If he doesn’t understand the P&R Standard for posts, all I can do is refer him to Justice Potter Stewart’s concurrence in Jacobellis v Ohio,

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["P&R Standards"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the BigPapasan post involved in this thread is not that.

And all over the country, every day of the week.

Why is he so wildly in favor of open borders?

Because way too many people when it comes to politics use emotions instead of facts and reality to form an opinion as to what is right or wrong when it comes to way too many things. It is a knee jerk reaction and people become very polarized on a topic even if they know nothing about it. They also look to our government to be a guide for us as to what is right or wrong, good for us or bad for us, according to what is illegal or legal. There is always going to be a faction of our society that even when faced with multiple facts showing the truth on a subject they are still going to believe otherwise. We also have people that are completely unable to look at a person as a individual person, just like we all are. There is a quick stereotypical response to put them into a group to determine if you consider the person "ok" and good or "not ok" and bad. We are all guilty of it, it only differs if we can step back and impartially analyze with facts instead of just utilizing our emotions to make decisions.
