I'm going to disagree on Trump being a successful businessman. For someone who was born on 3rd base he's actually a terrible businessman. He (his businesses) has gone bankrupt at least 4 times. He is a dead beat also. U.S. based banks stopped lending to him years ago. He basically ran a mom and pop real estate company with more self promotion than anything else.
For years he over leveraged himself. Finally he stopped that failed business model and started licensing his name which meant he built very little.
Trump has several severe personality disorders and is completely unqualified for the job as president. He should be nowhere near the nuclear codes. He is disinterested in policy and is only interested in self promotion and starting fights with whoever.
Tony Schwartz who wrote The Art Of The Deal said he has the attention span of an 8 year old. For some reason people were attracted by his buffoonery and bullying. I don't understand the attraction myself. I think he's an idiot.
Hopefully we all survive this imbeciles time in office and people will learn that the office of the president isn't an entry level position.
From a NY Times article this past summer.
"In a recent Quinnipiac University poll, respondents were asked what word immediately came to mind when they thought of Donald Trump: The No. 1 response was “idiot.” This was followed by “incompetent,” “liar,” “leader,” “unqualified,” and finally, in sixth place, “president.” Superlatives like “great” and a few unprintable descriptives came further down on the list. But let us focus on the first.
Contemporary uses of the word “idiot” usually highlight a subject’s lack of intelligence, ignorance, foolishness or buffoonery. The word’s etymological roots, however, going back to ancient Greece, suggest that, in the case of the president, it may be even more apropos than it might first seem."
