He brags about his accomplishments so much that he covers his walls with pictures of himself, but some of those accomplishments are fake. Later on you find out that he is being sued by all kinds of people, and that there are reports of lots of unpaid bills, etc.
Wouldn't your radar begin to beep here? Wouldn't you think twice about doing any business with him?
Or, what if he is someone looking for a job with you? You, as Robbie Inc, need to hire a guy to run your show for you, but while considering this guy Don, you begin to find out all of the above. Would you still hire him?

Damn Mark...you just described me! lol
In all seriousness, I've met all types in this world.
Trump is quite a character to be sure. Doesn't change his ability to get things done.
I've met super successful people who were very quiet and shy. I've met others who were the loudest people in the room.
I've seen people post on GFY that "Real" successful people don't talk about it.
That's just not true. Successful people have as wide a range of personalities as non-successful people do.
But their personality and whether they are boisterous or more of a wallflower has NOTHING to do with their work ethic, ambition, drive, intelligence, and/or success.
Trump is living proof of that. You simply don't have the kind of success and longevity he has had by "faking it" like so many on here have deluded themselves into thinking.
Trump has been world famous since the late 1970's as THE guy in New York City. He's been one of the most successful real estate/builders in the world.
When I was in high school in the late 1970's everyone already knew his name in my little home-town in Florida.
And then he re-invented himself as a television personality and was wildly successful with that also.
And THEN...he took on the media, the establishment, the Republican Party, the Democrat Party...and against ALL odds...won the Presidency Of The United States.
If you think about it clearly without prejudice...his life is one of the greatest American success stories in history.
And it was celebrated by the media from the 1970's all the way up until he jumped in on the birther stupidity in 2011 (3 years after the Hillary 2008 campaign first STARTED the birther nonsense).
Starting in 2011 when he DARED insult Sweet Baby Jesus Obama...that is the moment that the press turned on him.
He went from being their darling to being a joke.
And that year at the White House Press Dinner...Seth Myers called Trump a "joke" and had the entire room making fun of him as he sat with his friends and family at his table.
Big mistake.
That was the moment that Trump decided he was going to show all those people in that room what he is capable of.
I know you just dislike Trump...and here in the U.S. it seems that roughly half the population and ALL the media are in a hysterical frenzy of hatred towards him.
But I didn't vote based on what I was told to do by the media or the establishment.
I voted using common sense:
Trump is working to bring jobs back. Hillary and the media say that jobs are NEVER coming back.
Trump wants to lower taxes. Hillary and the media want taxes raised.
Trump actually called out Bush on Iraq in a Republican debate. Hillary...voted for the war.
Trump publicly states that NOBODY and no special interests own him. Hillary and the media are bought and paid for.
I'm like all Trump voters...I LIKE that he doesn't take any shit from anybody.
I LIKE that he doesn't act "Presidential"....which really means they want him to act like a phony, plastic person.
Abraham Lincoln wasn't "Presidential" by the media's bullshit standards either...he slept in bed every night with another man in the White House (thus the gay Republican faction known as Log Cabin Republicans)
President Ulysses S. Grant was definitely NOT "Presidential" by the media's standard: He was a raging alcoholic and drank like a fish throughout his presidency.
And do I really need to bring up JFK and President Clinton's behavior?
Point is that you don't have to act like a neutered puppy to be President. You can actually act like a MAN with balls.
That's why despite all the fantasy's of the media and the establishment and the folks here on GFY....Trump's support is still as strong as ever amongst his voters.
And yes...that includes a LOT of Democrats who voted Trump in the election.
