Trump 101, Part 2: Trump’s Failure at Deals and the Branding that Saved Him

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump has criticized President Obama’s deal with Iran, saying “Obama negotiated this horrible deal with Iran. It’s a bad deal, and when I get to Washington, there won’t be bad deals anymore. I’m a great deal-maker.”

It’s true that the Iran deal is a bad deal for the United States. What’s not true is that Donald Trump is a great deal-maker.

Timothy O’Brien points out that “the reality, the objective reality, is that he’s been a horrible deal-maker. His career is littered with bad deals. . . . He’s not someone who’s a particularly adept deal-maker, if you look at his whole career.”

In fact, during the early 1990’s Donald Trump was a business failure, and almost had to declare personal bankruptcy.
