Letter: Donald Trump is a master at changing the subject

Donald Trump has started many ventures that became spectacular failures: his Atlantic City casino, airline, football team, university and his TV shows, “The Apprentice” and “The Celebrity Apprentice.”

He has had spotty success with hotels, apartments and golf courses. Generally he licenses his name, and may manage the completed project, but usually uses other people’s money to build.

As president, he creates the impression of doing a lot by almost daily proposing new initiatives on taxes, immigration, health care and the military while withdrawing from international accords, such as TPP, NAFTA, the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal, and canceling former President Barack Obama’s controls on the climate, water quality, school lunches, fuel efficiency, etc.
