Another Day, Another Trump "The Business Man" Business Scam

Trump Vitamins Were Fortified With B.S.

Call it “Vitamin T.” For several years in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Donald Trump encouraged people to take part in a pseudo-scientific vitamin scheme—all without expressing any concern about how it might potentially endanger people’s health.

Through a multi-level marketing project called The Trump Network, the business mogul encouraged people to take an expensive urine test, which would then be used to personally “tailor” a pricey monthly concoction of vitamins—something a Harvard doctor told The Daily Beast was a straight-up “scam.”

And when The Daily Beast asked a doctor for The Trump Network to defend the products, he wound up deriding the idea of “evidence-based” medicine.



PAUSE: Did you just hear that? When the doctor was asked to defend the vitamins he gave what is the equivilent of "But Hilary" by then deciding to shit on EVIDENCE BASED medicine. I mean lord have mercy! Evidence of Medicine working can be spun to be a bad thing? What the fuck?




The Trump Network ultimately failed, and its assets were sold off. But it was not just a marketing and business disaster—the actions of the all-but-certain GOP presidential nominee reflect his willingness to license his name to a product without fully vetting it: a casual endorsement of a serious matter, all with the flitting nonchalance that characterizes the many falsehoods he utters.



So what is the point....

The project is just another example of Trump’s questionable business practices, from his Trump University (accused by many students of fraud) to his casinos (which went bankrupt so often) to his “tasteless and mealy” signature steaks. And it highlights an essential contradiction in his campaign for the White House. While politician Trump says that he cares about average Joe or Jane, his past shows a shocking indifference.

“I do not know the company. I know nothing about the company other than the people who run the company,” he said. “I’m not familiar with what they do or how they go about doing that.”

That was a surprising statement, given that, from 2006 until he announced his presidential bid in 2015, Trump was easily ACN’s most famous unofficial spokesman. For nearly a decade, Trump appeared in promotional videos touting ACN’s “revolutionary products,” he devoted an episode of NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice to ACN’s “revolutionary” videophone, and he earned millions of dollars giving speeches at ACN events as recently as early 2015. Introducing ACN executives Greg Provenzano and Mike Cupisz on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011, Trump said: “They run a company called ACN, which I know very well.”

But — these accusations aside — there may be still another reason why Donald Trump is not keen to emphasize his relationship with ACN: The most public part of it, in 2011, showcased yet another failure by a man who claims to have the Midas Touch. In 2010, Donald Trump proclaimed that ACN’s new videophone would “literally revolutionize the way we communicate.” He was not entirely wrong: Skype, Apple’s FaceTime, and similar products are now ubiquitous. But it was supposed to be an ACN product in every home, and Donald Trump threw the weight of his influence behind that objective.

Trump’s sentiments were not universally shared. According to the Wall Street Journal, citing regulatory filings, even before the episode was broadcast ACN “had slashed orders for the phone from its supplier, which laid off 70 percent of its staff just before the show aired and later filed to liquidate in federal bankruptcy court,” details that Trump did not disclose to viewers.

Yeah i was surprised to see Trump endorsing the product when it was not only a poor product but it was going to go the way of the dinosaur rather quickly.

SMH. How much does this sound like:
I don’t know anything about David Duke. OK? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know.... I just don’t know anything about him".

What a completely self-deluded fucking moron.

I never hear libs supporting their democrat candidates on these threads, they must not be worth discussing, no wonder Trump is getting all the support, you're giving him free publicity. Trump thanks you. The more negative about Trump the better. The bad boy image is working for him.

As for the videophone, Trump explained to the Journal that it was a good product, but that “technology’s rapid pace had killed it by the time the show aired five months after filming.” The explanation is ironic. In the late 2000s, in another promotional video for ACN, Trump announced proudly: “The two things I’ve mastered over the years are understanding the importance of timing in business, and the ability to recognize great opportunities and also great people.”

Yooooooooooooo

omfg, the cretinous sludge doesn't understand that video lasts forever and actually thinks that he can "erase" it by denying it into an "unvideo" that never happened, and by the way we have always been at war with Oceania.

Oh shit this is golden.

The second funniest thing about the video, after the obvious painting himself into a corner, is the phrase "I've worked hard"

My thunder what a lying asshole.

My favorite line comes at the end of the video, "ACN has a reputation for success, success that is synonymous with the Trump name."

Maybe you should get your "news" from other sources. The entire vitamin industry is crap. An entrepreneur will, by their nature, be involved in many areas. Some succeed, most fail. As for vitamins... Experts: Don't Waste Your Money on Multivitamins

The vitamin BS isn't the issue. That's bad enough, but what kind of absolute fucking moron denies knowing about a company that he's on video personally endorsing, saying he likes it better than real estate? What level of abject self-delusion brings an idiot to believe he can just deny recorded evidence, close his eyes, click his heels together and it somehow magically goes ::: poof:::? What sort of an idiot does that?

Hm?

"Obama and Hillary" --- and everyone else in the world --- have what to do with this?

They forced Rump to make an endorsement video, and then washed his "very good brain" with a magic app on The Obama's magic teleprompter?
