Trump: The Art of the Fail

This week on Between the States, Dan, Noel, and Jared take a brutally funny look at Donald J. Trump the businessman, walking through decades of Trump-branded ventures, lawsuits, bankruptcies, licensing deals, casinos, steaks, vodka, watches, NFTs, phones, and more.

From the Trump Organization and Atlantic City casinos to Trump University, Trump Shuttle, Trump Steaks, Truth Social, Trump sneakers, the God Bless the USA Bible, and the $TRUMP meme coin, the guys break down how Trump built, sold, licensed, inflated, rebranded, and somehow kept moving on to the next thing. Along the way, they ask the obvious question: how does someone fail this many times and still keep getting funded?

It is part business timeline, part comedy roast, and part confused investigation into gold shoes, bad steaks, fake luxury, casino bankruptcies, and the strange power of turning a name into a product.

If you like political comedy, business history, Trump scandals, failed companies, chaotic podcast conversations, and three friends trying to make sense of American branding madness, this episode is for you.
