Not a single product he has associated with has been successful.
That will include the RNC.

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman,” he told Greta Van Susteren. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.
And on Fox and Friends on Wednesday, Trump explained why he donated to Clinton’s campaigns.
“I’m a businessman. I contribute to everybody,” Trump said. “When I needed Hillary, she was there. If I say ‘go to my wedding,’ they go to my wedding.”

Trump and the Clintons are old friends. He must pretend to hate her to fool the republicans.

The family that sold the pianos to Trump was financially ruined because Trump formulated an artful "deal" where he refused to pay 30% of the bill.
The"Art of the Deal" is another way of saying " figure out how to screw anyone who is stupid enough to do business with you.
Trump is a scum sucking greedy deadbeat.

Donald Trump, deadbeat
USA Today builds on its excellent work tracking the staggering volume of litigation that Der Drumpf is embroiled with by focusing in on the hundreds of entities -- salaried workers, family businesses, lawyers -- who've had to sue Trump, singly and in bunches, to get the money he owed them.
There's an adage that the reason so many rich people are tightwads is that's how you get and stay rich (see, e.g., Warren Buffet's $31,500 house). But there's tight, and then there's crooked.
The personal stories of Trump's creditors are an important read, because they're also a cross-section of the sorts of people that Trump is aiming for with his campaign. Take Edward Friel Jr, the cabinetmaker that Trump stiffed for $83,600 he owed for the "bases for slot machines, registration desks, bars and other cabinets at Harrah's at Trump Plaza."
That debt was enough to push Friel's business -- a family business founded by his father in the 1940s -- into bankruptcy.
However, the consistent circumstances laid out in those lawsuits and other non-payment claims raise questions about Trump’s judgment as a businessman, and as a potential commander in chief. The number of companies and others alleging he hasn’t paid suggests that either his companies have a poor track record hiring workers and assessing contractors, or that Trump businesses renege on contracts, refuse to pay, or consistently attempt to change payment terms after work is complete as is alleged in dozens of court cases.
In the interview, Trump repeatedly said the cases were “a long time ago.” However, even as he campaigns for the presidency, new cases are continuing. Just last month, Trump Miami Resort Management LLC settled with 48 servers at his Miami golf resort over failing to pay overtime for a special event. The settlements averaged about $800 for each worker and as high as $3,000 for one, according to court records. Some workers put in 20-hour days over the 10-day Passover event at Trump National Doral Miami, the lawsuit contends. Trump’s team initially argued a contractor hired the workers, and he wasn’t responsible, and counter-sued the contractor demanding payment.
“Trump could have settled it right off the bat, but they wanted to fight it out, that’s their M.O.” said Rod Hannah, of Plantation, Fla., the lawyer who represented the workers, who he said are forbidden from talking about the case in public. “They’re known for their aggressiveness, and if you have the money, why not?”

Trump can't be expected to pay those workers, can he?
After all, his business is yuuuuuuuge.

The "Art of the Deal" really means the Art of screwing hard working people out of their money.

Plenty of ways to avoid paying if you can afford to counter-sue.

The Trump Plaza Casino and Hotel is now closed, its windows clouded over by sea salt. Only a faint outline of the gold letters spelling out T-R-U-M-P remains visible on the exterior of what was once this city’s premier casino.
Not far away, the long-failing Trump Marina Hotel Casino was sold at a major loss five years ago and is now known as the Golden Nugget.
At the nearly deserted eastern end of the boardwalk, the Trump Taj Mahal, now under new ownership, is all that remains of the casino empire Donald J. Trump assembled here more than a quarter-century ago. Years of neglect show: The carpets are frayed and dust-coated chandeliers dangle above the few customers there to play the penny slot machines.
Trump often boasts of his success in Atlantic City, of how he outwitted the Wall Street firms that financed his casinos and rode the value of his name to riches.
A central argument of his candidacy is that he would bring the same business prowess to the Oval Office, doing for America what he did for his companies.
“Atlantic City fueled a lot of growth for me,” Trump said in an interview in May, summing up his 25-year history here. “The money I took out of there was incredible.”

"Incredible." He is telling us his story has no credibility.

Trumptards don't care.
A close examination of regulatory reviews, court records and security filings leaves little doubt that Trump’s casino business was a protracted failure.
Though he now says his casinos were overtaken by the same tidal wave that eventually slammed this seaside city’s gambling industry, in reality he was failing in Atlantic City long before Atlantic City itself was failing.
But even as his companies did poorly, Trump did well.
He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments.
The burden of his failures fell on investors and others.

Others , like small businesses who did work for him or supplied musical instruments?
