7. Trump was the one that pushed the USFL to move from a spring schedule to the fall instead

They were successful playing in the spring (and would have continued to be), but Trump was the primary force that pushed them to go head to head against the NFL with a fall schedule. That was a matchup they were bound to lose. I've wondered if Trump was a secret agent for the NFL owners, crashing the USFL for them, or if his decision making was truly that bad. He probably didn't care if the league crashed, but hoped that in the end, the Generals would get merged into the NFL.

Either way, he's a backstabber or incompetent - I think both.
