“Donald is way ahead of the times”
Not only is he looking for trends and opportunities, but he has the temerity to actually study feasibility before jumping on something. That is definitely contrary to Washington culture (see, e.g., stimulus, cash for clunkers, Syria and Iraq, Obamacare, open immigration, minimum wage hikes, ad infinitum). Everyone knows Washington culture is to jump first without constitutional authority and then blame Republicans if the expected benefits don’t materialize. While government may bankrupt companies in the energy business by its requirements to prove environmental impacts, Washington is exempt from the need to study economic impacts of its policies.
I recall something DT said in his book AOTDeal. He said he always scouted all the potentials ahead of any deal making he wanted. He wanted always to be prepared. I hope he will use that trait to prepare for the next two debates.
