” Trump may be right some of the time, but on the whole he has always been very delusional when it comes to his own abilities. “
Trump is probably the best commercial real estate developer around ......total Class A properties.
Also, the best promoter since P.T. Barnum.
However, he is apparently clueless about anything else. Hey Trump, go home!
And he was smart enough to personally remove himself from Atlantic City when it was clear that it was dead in the water.
The idea that success in business will make someone a successful president is totally without merit, it was most recently proffered by Ross Perot because he had nothing else to offer. Herbert Hoover was by far the most successful businessman to ever be president, and though he wasn't as bad as the left makes him out to be, he was a pretty lousy president. Jimmy Carter was a very successful businessman (the whole small peanut farmer from Plains was an act, he had a very prosperous operation) and he was horrible as a president. Harry Truman was a lousy businessman, but a pretty good president as far as Democrats go (he was arguably to the right of every Republican that came after him except Reagan).
A lot of people like to quote Calvin Coolidge and say, "the business of America is business." However, this isn't what he said, his actual words were, "The chief business of the American people is business." Running a nation like a business will work some of the time, but it won't work when it really matters, not for a nation the size of ours. Russia is a business, it is a very large oil conglomerate owned and operated by Putin and a few dozen of his cronies, and it is run like a business; for about fifteen years, the Russian business was great, but the past year has demonstrated the flaw in running a nation as a business -- it only works when the outside world complies with your business model.
