If you do not believe it is permissible to cheat people for profit, what does make you think of this as a talent?

It may be loose, but he may be referring to getting better deals in trade agreements with a person like Trump at the helm. But the problem is, it isn't the agreement he is good at, he is good at using lawyers to short change other parties in an agreement. That is a lot easier to do with people who don't have an army of lawyers. Nations, not as much.

Well, there's getting better deals and there's getting the better of people we're dealing with... One is a talent. The other is a symptom.

And he would do this by making the deals, and then breaking them whenever he felt like it. Kind of like all of the treaties with Native Americans, except that the other parties in these agreements could do significant economic damage to "This Country" if we effed with them.

Corporations have an army of lawyers, while nations just have armies. The problem with Trump's art of the deal, in which he can renege on a deal when it's to his advantage, is it makes him a one trick pony.

When someone defaults on a loan, there are consequences. The lender may come take some of your stuff, but that's not the worst of it. The worst thing a lender can do to a deadbeat is refuse to lend more money.

"I don't feel that these people did very much, if anything, with respect to this deal.”

That seems to be a theme with Trump. 3,500 in 30 years. That is about one filed every three days... for 30 years!

And this is how many were filed. How many did he screw over that simply did not have the resources to go up against Trump?

But, you probably read me correctly. You just messed up when you went further and read into it.

Yes, much like a car thief that quickly steals in the night ... over and over many times ... perfecting his skills throughout the years. A talent or skill can be used for good purposes. Example 1) a reformed car thief using his experience to help out a stranded motorist who locked her keys in the car. Example 2) a former hacker assisting authorities with cyber crime.

If Trump is as skillful as he professes, that he has or even continues to harm others for his own personal gain in no way guarantees that he would not set out to benefit the US in his foreign trade deals crafted to benefit the US both for the short and long term.

There may not always be honor among thieves, but cicumstances can often have a strong sway on who will do what to whom. There are those that would steal from anyone, and even if the ole saying, "once a thief, always a thief" is true, some can be quite selective. To illustrate, it would not surprise me to learn that an art thief would chastise a teen from stealing novelties from his friends parents. There are small time criminals that would steal your toilet paper if left to their own devices, but then there are those that will embrace the role of helping others even when there are selective circumstances for looking out for themselves underhandedly.

If you show me that he has harmed others, then you've given me reason to take pause, but you have not shown that a full blown stop is in order. If he takes on the role of a leader of a nation, then I expect him to bring his skills to bear on doing what's right for the nation he'll take pride in making greater than it is. Yes, a watchful eye is in order when he stands to personally profit with enormity, but it's going to take more than a financially immoral track record of acting for personal gain before it can be cast as being more than serving as mere reason for doubts for how he would utilize his crafted art for the benefit of his home country.
 
Here's one where Trump is suing...

He's building a hotel in DC, and signed a deal with celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian to open a restaurant. After Trump made his famous remarks about Mexicans and immigrants, Zakarian pulled out, and now Trump is suing him for $14M. Inflammatory statements can be bad for business, apparently.

The one silver lining to the whole campaign season might be that Trump ultimately ends up broke and kicked to the curb

Trump isn't a former con man, he's still doing it. He hasn't reformed his ways, and there is no reason to think winning the Presidency will change him. Do you think a locksmith is going to hire a car thief who just stole a car last night, and pretty much tells you that he is going to keep on stealing cars? Look at Trump University, Trump has said he will start that scam up again as soon as the lawsuits against it are over. It is un-fucking-believable that people are falling for his shit.

I'll stipulate that people can change, skills can be turned to the good.

But usually, that requires a major 'come to Jesus' moment, doesn't it?
In the movies it's always connected to someone finally being graphically forced to face up to the consequences of their actions. In real life, it tends to be when people get arrested. They make a deal to avoid the full consequences of their crimes.

Where was Donald's CTJM?

He's behaving as he always has, One for Donald and All for Donald.

Well, I'm not looking for a guarantee that he won't turn to the US benefit. I'm looking for the slightest reason to think that he would turn his powers to benefit the US.
If he takes on the role of a leader of a nation, then I expect him to bring his skills to bear on doing what's right for the nation he'll take pride in making greater than it is.

Good for you. That's a very generous attitude. I just can't see that there's a reason for such optimism. What he's been doing has been harming others for Donald's benefit. Even people who work directly for him.
And its' worked... For Donald.

By 'making America Great,' I fear that he means 'great for Donald.'
