I named his bankruptcies.

If you want any credibility at all, you'll have to name those 500 companies.

1.2% is very misleading... but that’s what trump and his shills and devotees do. Those 5 were big assets in his roster. The Taj Mahal had accrued $1.8 Billion in debt before it went under. Also, consider that his other businesses are marginally profitable and others such as his prime golf courses in remote regions of Scotland are losing money like crazy. But like flies to shut, his fools gold plated sheen and fast talking manages to attract capital. It used to be from venture capitalists in North America, by no more... now he has to get funding from Russian Oligarchs who have dirty cash they want cleaned. Now he’s beholden to Russia and a traitor to America

Are you counting failed tRump businesses as successes just because they didn't end in bankruptcy??

Would these be on your "tRump 500" list?

The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative

The now-defunct Trump Entrepreneur Initiative was once known as Trump University LLC. The for-profit education company offers courses in real estate, asset management, entrepreneurship and overall wealth creation. The company is not an accredited school and does not offer high school or college credits. It was one of Trump’s least popular enterprises and was embroiled in scandal.

The company faced a lawsuit in August 2013 regarding illegal business practices. The attorney general of New York filed a $40 million civil suit that alleged the corporation made false promises to its students. A New York judge found Donald Trump personally responsible for the allegations. In late March 2017, a judge approved a $25 million settlement.

Trump Ice

Trump Ice is a bottled water brand owned by Donald Trump. The winner of 'The Apprentice' season two, Kelly Perdew, served as executive vice president of the organization until recently. Currently, the company's website has been taken down, and the product can no longer be found in national grocery chains or stores.

Trump Ice was distributed by Mountain Spring Water in the East Coast. The company was used as a gimmick in season one of 'The Apprentice,' where contestants had to market and sell the product. Since then, it has fallen on hard times and is now out of distribution.

The Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, which includes dress shirts and ties, was pulled by Macy’s stores. However, the clothes can still be found on Amazon’s website.

The Donald Trump home brand, which was used by Serta, was pulled from the mattress brand's stores.
