Thanks for the compliment...and following the FR rules on personal attacks.
I don’t need a business lesson from you.

I do know individuals.

I know people like Trump they are class A types who have to be personally involved in the day to day operation of their empires.

My thoughts that Trump won’t give up his day to day activities are, as I said, strictly a feeling (I have a pretty good intuitive track record ) . Only time will tell how that pans out. I wouldn’t bet on it either way. It won’t make or break my spirit either way. But thanks for calling me obtuse none the less.

I’ve been wrong before, too. And possibly am now as to Trump being able to stay away from the business. At any rate, I apologize for the choice of words.

All I have to go on is Trump’s word. Early in the campaign; perhaps in the second week after his formal announcement, he did an interview sitting in Trump Tower.

He was asked by the scribe, how he could walk away from his businesses. To which Trump replied, Because making America great again is more important than my businesses. In another interview, he very briefly touched on it by saying there’s no real thrill in making another dollar. At his age, he’s made enough. The Country is much more important. The world that’s left to his progeny is much more important.

Yes, he’s a Type-A. But don’t you think that overseeing the myriad things to be done to salvage our Nation will be enough to keep him from being bored?

There are several “other sides” to the coin, too. One, that would be obvious to me, would be that, since he’s turned the Trump Brand over to his 3 elder children, each of whom is a duly installed officer in the corporation, I think they would not be happy if there was a lot of second guessing and micro managing by Dad.

The other is that these two straight arrow, ramrod men, and this beautiful, very capable woman, are perfectly qualified and able to run the corporation on their own.

The Trump Brand website introduces all three, with each describing their childhood working, their fitting into a particular slot in the corporation, and what they do now. For instance, IIRC, Eric is in charge of acquisitions and development. In the video he talks about trips to South America as part of his duties.

Ivanka is in charge of the Trump Image. She oversees styles, decor, furnishings, what’s visible to the public in general, and the paying clientele in particular.

I think Trump, as an exceptional manager, had all these bases covered before he announced.

And again, I apologize for the choice of words. Happy trails.
