Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump says he will be a “great” jobs president and he’s quick to point to his business successes as proof. But many of Trump’s business ventures have gone belly-up.

In 1989, Trump bought the Eastern Air Lines Shuttle, which ran hourly flights between Boston, New York and Washington, D.C.
