5. Not just evil; paralyzingly incompetent in financial matters.

Six bankruptcies, including a casino! And they thought he was some kind of fiscal genius?

I realize The Apprentice sold him as this wizard of Wall Street. But I would have thought anyone enamored enough of Trump to sit through his squalid gameshow/reality show would read up at least a little on his pre-Apprentice life. He squandered a $400 million inherited fortune, and has spend his life since then floating on an immense ocean of debt.

Shit, even the Cliff's Notes version of Trump's train wreck of a life should have that stuff in it.
