How about the United States?

"We're a very powerful company," the president said Friday at a joint White House news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Then he instantly corrected himself. "We're a very powerful company - country. We're a very strong, very strong country."

5. Shows that this is really a money making scheme for him

I can't understand why a man like him needs any more money. He has way more money than most people and he is 70 years old. He's got more than enough to retire very comfortably, yet instead he decides to make himself and everyone else miserable by being a really shitty president.

Corporation Of Trump. COT

8. America Inc. is going to be downsized or outsourced?

Either way, we are going to have some layoffs. We know how he treats his companies by screwing the workers, contractors, and investors while hiding his super secret tax returns from us.
