Steak, vodka… and board games? Here’s the Trump goes directly to jail edition

Donald Trump is now officially a felon, which is actually a badge of honour in certain business circles in which he mixes.

Trump may be dabbling in politics at the moment – I believe he was even handed a country to run at one point – but in his heart of hearts, he is a businessman. His father was a businessman, and his sons are businessmen. The art of the deal, baby!

The fascinating thing about Trump is that his high-value businesses tend to all succeed: the 16 golf courses, the casinos, the resorts, and wineries, and smart, city-centric real estate ventures. It’s only when he dips into novelty items that he fails. But that’s where he wants to be. He loves the art of the deal. He loves the pitch. Trump hosted The Apprentice, but what he actually wants to do is appear as a contestant on Shark Tank, week after week, making pitches, speeches, selling the dream.

Trump holds a portfolio of successful, high-class business interests, but he lives to shill steaks and invent board games. This speaks volumes, and will never stop being amusing.
