Who landed on the moon first in your timeline?
Because in this one he won the 2016 election against Hilary Clinton
but lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
 

As he said, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote while Trump won the electoral college vote in the 2016 election.

He was only a successful businessman on a TV show.

 He was fairly successful in NY real estate (a pretty well protected
business if you have enough capital) and he's had some success running
country clubs and hotels.
Of course in both those cases there's strong stenches of fraud
He pretty much failed outside of those areas
 

The recent public documents Trump had to release show that basically only his golf courses make money.  Everything else essentially breaks even or loses money.
