[QUOTE=No Party Hats;51396446]Right, and the fact he didn't botch it brings to doubt a lot of the whole "BUT HE'S A SHIT BUSINESSMAN" argument. Doesn't invalidate them, but seriously invigorates hope[/QUOTE]
he's hardly even a shit businessman considering he's come so far that he is now getting ready to step into the oval office

I mean, if you want to argue with the fact that he's made less money in all his ventures total than he could've made on interest and fundamentally safe investments then by all means, feel free to argue with numbers until you're blue in the face.
Being able to negotiate is only part of running a business.
[QUOTE=No Party Hats;51395946]this is honestly MONUMENTAL in terms of how he handles his interactions with foreign powers
i mean, the Japanese have a wholly different culture when it comes to meetings and the likes, quite a few major deals have been shot down by japanese businessmen purely because foreigners don't cater to their style of business etiquette, so trump managing to do so well with this meeting is VERY surprising and exciting imho[/QUOTE]
There's six chambers in the revolver, and he's going to be pulling the trigger a hundred more times.

your analogy falls apart when you realize none of us know if there's actually a bullet loaded
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter as Trump isn't going to be making any actual decisions once he gets into office.
[QUOTE=Dantz Bolrew;51393449]I've heard that Abe's a bit of a wanker but I don't really know how or why.
Anyone know how he is as a politician?[/QUOTE]
Now if I remember vaguely, the general public was pissed off at his signing of a bill to join with foreign military forces. There was something else about islands that he wanted to retake by force, but I can't find sources for that. (might be connected)

Having said that, I don't think he's a prolific asshole or anything.

those investments would have required him to liquidate all his assets and then live entirely off of those dividends for the rest of his life.
If you were a real estate guy, would you want to do something that you have no idea how it works and put all of your money into it or would you want to stick with what you know?

Somehow I don't think the guy who's already threatened extortion on our neighbors is lacking bullets.
