From someone who has started a few businesses and I'm sure others can attest, we all have failures. These failures are what help businesses eventually become successful.
I think this applies to life as well. We all make mistakes but we learn, grow, and become better versions of ourselves.

I agree, he can be misogynistic which I don't condone. In regards to a jury saying he's guilt of raping, that's false. This is from the case of E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. The jury did not find Trump liable for rape but rather liable for sexually abusing and defaming. It's still not good, but not rape.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. You can learn more about them, possibly predict their behaviors, and generally get inside their heads to know how they think. An enemy you understand is easier to defeat. There's also the possibility of turning them to your side, or at least you can develop a more cordial relationship with them over time.

Whether there was fraud or not, he may believe it due to the 2020 election irregularities. I'm not saying it's true, but I can see how one might believe it after watching this video.

This stuff happens in politics from both sides. Problem is Trump is good at it. It's the game within the game, except its out there for everyone to hear. I think of it similar to hockey players trash talking each other to try and gain some advantage or to get in the opponents heads.
