The Artist at Work

Donald Trump was idolized by his many supporters as a successful businessman that will use his business acumen to help everyday people. Most that are opposed to Trump look at his 6 formal bankruptcies and multiple businesses that were shut down or heavily underperformed and wonder how this reputation was earned.

Nonetheless, clever self promotion, bombast (oftentimes vulgar), and a popular reality TV series labeling Trump as a strong business leader convinced many that he was some form of genius that truly understands the “Art of the Deal.”

However, there is a very important aspect of Trump’s “art” relating to deals that I think we need to examine when we consider the deal he has been creating for this country.
