    And to think, he could’ve continued his shitty ways in relative obscurity, failing up with venture after venture, but he had to go be president. Now hopefully he’ll spend the rest of his life in prison, or maybe house arrest.

      I wouldn’t say he necessarily failed upward considering that he’d be worth more today if he’d just invested his initial gift from his father into the S&P500, but I guess because of the presidency you could argue it.

        I say that because regardless of his failures he doesn’t pay the consequences. Everyone loses their job and money while he writes off the debts for a decade to not pay taxes. He has enough resources and influence to rebound from what ever happens. That’s how he fails up.

            I do agree that he isn’t a successful person. He’s a shitty person that can’t seem to really lose, or at least bad enough that he can’t come back. Like that roach that just won’t die no matter how many times we hit it with a shoe
