Maybe if the media would get off his back, and if the democrats would stop trying to re-do the election results, things would be different.

Tiny, I ain't no spring chicken, lived in NYC when he accomplished so many "impossible" real estate projects almost everyone said he couldn't, and have no "faith". My belief, or experience if you will, in Trump is based on hard facts of past results.

Beats the alternative by about 100%.

So this is the latest pathetic attempt by the left to discredit Trump? <yawn>. #HillaryStillLost you'll have to wait to get another lifelong government parasite to the White House again.

I think a CEO could be successful in politics if he or she is willing to acknowledge what they don't know about governing and bring in good people whom they will listen to. You have to be practical, though.

trump is not that person.

Trump never had a board this size. Plus he was the major shareholder and had most of the control. A nation especially the US don't work like that.

The first problem is calling him a CEO. He's a fake CEO on reality television. I'd call him a Realtor and con artist (bankruptcy specialist).

A REAL CEO may have 1/2 a chance - but, still, unless they have had some political experience and unless they know some things (Trump is a "know nothing" when it comes to history, policy, current events, politics, etc.)...

Rick Scott paid the largest fines in the history of the USA for FRAUD when he was CEO....and he got elected twice as Gov. of Florida.

Apparently, being crooked and/or having a general lack of ethics is almost a prerequisite for high political office. That means many CEO's would be perfect for the job.

The problem with "businessmen" is that most of them are win/lose type of guys. Just as in football, the rat race up the corporate ladder, etc. they see one or two (a few) winners and everyone else as losers.

Politics is the complete opposite. You represent everyone and attempt to make as many people as possible win.

I don't see where one helps with the other. On the other hand, a guy like Jerry Brown who was in a seminary....I think that type of training works out nicely.

I guess in the end it depends on the person. Trump very obviously is a selfish, uncaring charlatan so there was never any hope there.
