It's not just these examples of failure here.

Trump: The Game

If it's your opinion that not screwing up the one successful business in his arsenal that was built by his daddy is sufficient to deem him a good businessman that is your prerogative, but I do not think you will find many whom will agree.

Trump Vodka was never really any serious attempt at penetrating the alcoholic beverage market when Grey Goose was already valued at over 2 billion dollars ... 

The previous asset owner's of Trump Shuttle had financial issues and went bankrupt 2 years later after Trump had purchased some of those properties so how was he supposed to turn things around ? 

Trump Mortgage wasn't entirely his own doing when E.J. Ridings committed resume fraud and there was a housing maket collapse plus it was shortlived enough to not have any significant impact ... 

Trump: The Game, it's a board game so no big deal ... 

The only serious failings out of the ones you listed was Trump Airlines and that was shortlived too when he sold it 3 years later. It's a fact that he's not a bad businessman that he was able to keep his father's fortune and grow it. Say whatever you want about him but bad businessman is not one of them ...
