Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Like a swimmer attaching themselves to an anchor.

 Donald Trump is someone you should think carefully about hitching your financial fortunes to. The guy is a gifted carnival barker, no doubt. But when it comes to serious business, he is a bad bet. Most of his ventures, from vodka, airlines and steaks to casinos, Foundations and “university” degrees, have flopped like dying fish. 

Declaring corporate bankruptcy seems to be one of his favorite hobbies. And even when he wriggles away from failure largely unscathed, the other parties involved aren’t always so fortunate. Where money is involved, anyone still foolish enough to crawl into bed with him should be prepared for the experience to end with their money in his pocket.
