Trump has "Business Acumen"?

Michael Cohen said he admired Trump for his "business acumen" and that's why he worked for him. But he was close enough to know that Trump had filed half a dozen bankruptcies, spent lots of time in court for not paying workers, and couldn't get a loan anywhere. He had to know this, because I KNEW IT, and I have no association with Trump. Anyone who hasn't been in a coma for the last 20 years should know this.

Michael Cohen had to know that Trump was on the wrong side of the law fairly early on and he was one of many people who enabled him to stay there. He is lucky he only got 3 years in prison. It should be 30.

... plus all the semi-legal schemes to transfer money from the business that's going to declare bankruptcy to the family members/other family businesses.
