He'd get fired within the day. Do you think Trump even knows what a vacuum cleaner looks like, let alone how to use one?!

I'm going to bet that Don Jr knows one apocryphal use for one.

From an interview in the Guardian with Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi and Trump have an extremely weird history. Back in 2014, the singer, along with some Canadian investors, tried to buy the NFL team the Buffalo Bills, outbidding Trump. But there was suddenly strong anti-Bon Jovi feeling in Buffalo, NY, with “Bon Jovi-free” zones and negative graffiti, stemming from the rumour that he and his partners would move the team out of the city. Bon Jovi fiercely denied that, but the Bills ultimately went to a third bidder and that was the end of that – until three years ago, when it emerged, inevitably, that the anti-Bon Jovi campaign had been started by Michael Caputo, a political strategist, who had been hired by Trump.

“I was really shocked at the depths [Trump] went to. He wasn’t even qualified to buy the team, because you have to submit your tax returns, and he never filed the paperwork. Instead, he did this dark shadow assassination thing, hoping to buy the team at a bargain basement price. But I just couldn’t understand how this misinformation was being put out there. It was seriously scarring,” Bon Jovi says, eyes wide.

After Trump failed to get the team, he stomped off and ran for president. Maybe you should have just given him the team, I say.

“Yeah, for the sake of the world, he definitely should have got the team. Oh well,” he chuckles.

Caputo later worked for Trump when he was president and was questioned as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. It was reported last September that Caputo had orchestrated a pressure campaign for official reports into the Covid crisis to be altered to be more flattering to Trump.

We could, but equally we could write things That Could Be song titles, and you won't know unless you check.

I'm afraid I feel the urge to use all my favourite Bon Jovi songs in puns related to Trump and cannot rest until I do.

Now tempted to add a dummy song title "Ellipsis" to the Wiki listicle.

Well, 45% of you are wrong already, and another 13% have a month left before you've lost too.

However, the Trump Organisation is now subject of a criminal, rather than civil, investigation in NY: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57166735. Whether that means Don Donald himself will be arrested at some point I wouldn't like to say.
