He micro-manages deals. It is what he loves. Once he has it all set up like he likes it he moves on to the next deal or new thing.
Government is 1% deals and 99% management on cruise control. Different animal. I guess we will see. If you consider setting up the deal “micro-managing” I would concede the point. However, having worked for a micro-manager with a clearly established business plan and steady business he does not impress me as the same kind of animal. Trump is more of a shiny-object kind of boss.
We will see. If he tries to micro-manage something as large as the U.S. government he is in for some serious frustration and exhaustion.

Spot on. I’ve noticed the same thing. But stuff that doesn’t float his boat like most foreign policy issues he can be quiet disinterested and flippant about in interviews. His off hand comment in one interview about sending son in law Jared to the middle east was quite revealing, IMO.
I’m starting to see some similarities to Obama in Trump with him having an overly influential kitchen cabinet/inner circle and a general disinterest in foreign affairs outside of the chicoms and Iran. Of course Trump loves his country and that is not an issue like with the kenyan. However, Trump risks projecting an image that it is not a good time to be an ally of the US. Trump stoking the Putin bromance nonsense by picking Tillerson will be quite damaging. That will make everything he tries to do on the world stage much harder.
