Trump Jr.: Current Leaders Wouldn't Last 5 Minutes in Real Companies
Townhall ^ | January 7, 2016 | Justin Holcomb

In an interview on the "Hannity" show, son of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., said that current political leaders in our country would not last 5 minutes in the real business world.

"He's sick of being on the sidelines watching a bunch of incompetence in his mind. And in our world, in our business world, these people wouldn't last 5 minutes in real companies and he's sick of them making decisions that are costing our children, their children behind them, trillions of dollars and really giving up the great power we've built up over the last 200 years," Trump Jr. said.

“giving up the great power we’ve built up over the last 200 years”

It all started letting foreigners come over here to go to school/college and then letting them work in tech/defense industries and take our advantage back to the dungheap. The Clinton beat that by just giving it away.

Totally agree. Ted is also a politician and a senator at that. They are conditioned to spend other people’s money while always taking their cut off the top. Ted is no different.

I can’t imagine that BO would last one hour behind a counter at McDonald’s. Chick-fil-A? I’d give him 10 minutes, tops.

I’ll assume “incompetents” and think that TownHall should know better.

Damn strait they wouldn't!
What is concerning is how long would we survive with a self made billionaire all of the sudden placed in a must know all position.

I'm not a Trump hater, I'm just waiting for MORE from him to convince me that he has it for POTUS.

From one who lost damn near 100g today..

Speaking of incompetence, I think he meant incompetents.

But he's right, most of the politicians in our government aren't experienced enough in business to manage a functioning lemonade stand.

Profit and loss statements instead of printing money?

2 minutes in the board room at best.
