    The following is a list of Trump’s accomplishments prior to becoming president. It bears repeating since he is running for reelection:

    Trump Taj Mahal Casino, bankrupt 1991; Trump Castle Hotel, bankrupt 1992; Trump Plaza, bankrupt 1992; Plaza Operating Partners, bankrupt 1992; Trump Casino Holdings, bankrupt 2004; Trump Entertainment Resorts, bankrupt 2009; Trump University, ruled a fraud and Trump forced to pay $25 million to defrauded students; Trump Charity, ruled a fraud and forced to reimburse charity $2 million for improper purchases and then disbanded; Trump Airlines, failed; Trump Marina, failed; Trump Magazine, failed; Trump Steaks, failed; Trump Vodka, failed; Trump Mortgage, failed.

    In 1973 the Justice Department sued Donald and Fred Trump Management for alleged racial discrimination. They would not rent to African Americans. The Trumps settled the suit promising not to discriminate in the future.
