There's no money in healthy people and
There is no money in diplomacy

So it looks like those two nominees don't have what it takes.

“There’s no money in healthy people and
There is no money in diplomacy”

Both statements only hold in rare and exceptional circumstances.

Healthy people produce more wealth. Sick people absorb and spend wealth.

Diplomacy can help preserve wealth and even create wealth by preventing war and establishing rules to allow for trade. War destroys wealth, even if it is sometimes necessary.

Sure, evil people can find ways to extract money from sick people or to gain money during war. It is a losing proposition, because the pool of wealth is destroyed over time.
