Donald Trump - poster boy for 'failing upwards'

No question about it, they should just retire the award.

Few people in the world could come out with a new

fragrance (above), as did The Donald a few months ago, generate great ratings with a hit TV show starring himself, and then follow those triumphs up by declaring bankruptcy.

But that's not even close to the full, true genius of this amazing man: he told the Associated Press in a telephone interview this past Monday, after news of his Chapter 11 filing was announced, "I don't think it's a failure, I think it's a success."

He went on, "In this case, it was just something that worked better than the alternatives. It's really just a technical thing."

Yeah - so is a flat EEG. But I digress.

Trump's braggadocio reminds me of that old saw, "If you owe the bank $10,000 and you can't make your payments they'll come after you; if you owe them $10,000,000, hey, no problem: they'll loan you another couple million so you can keep making your payments.

What a crock.

To the thousands of people who are shareholders in Trump Hotels & Casinos, and have lost all their money, I guarantee you it's much, much more than "a technical thing."

Too bad they drank the Kool-Aid.

Probably made it with the Donald's signature

water.
