There are two kinds of people in the world: (i) Those who think the United States America should be led by a patriotic businessman, and (ii) those who cannot imagine anyone but a career politician.

There are two kinds of people in the world, those who divide the population into two groups, and those who don’t.

There are also people who are aware that in addition to peanut farmers turned governor, our history of failed presidents includes another famous businessman: mining engineer and humanitarian relief organizer Herbert Hoover.

FDR lived politically on the corpse of the Hoover administration in precisely the same way that Obama has lived on the corpse of the economic reputation of GW Bush. Notwithstanding that FDR policies were indistinguishable from Hoover policies.

I do not take for granted that a businessman will operate the government efficiently, simply because he is a businessman. Carter didn’t - and before him, Hoover did not. Trump has some of the same attitudes that Hoover had.
