So you would be a supporter of Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer, or Andrew Yang. They are all true businessmen. Trump was never a businessman. He never created a business. He started with hundreds of millions of dollars, went bankrupt numerous times, and ripped people off. His biggest scandal has gotten very little attention. Research where he got the money to buy all of his golf courses with cash. This will probably ending up dwarfing the Ukraine issue.
Polls mean diddly. And yes, Trump doesn’t act like your average politician/POTUS. I enjoy his style of “gangster slapping” his haters and the lackwit media.

Trump wasn't really a businessman. He was a crook and a mobster.
LBJ held staff meetings while sitting on the toilet, so the answer to OP would be 'yes.'
LBJ also held daily meetings in the WH swimming pool. Since he preferred to swim nude, everyone else was required to do likewise. He was very tall and would often take a staffer to a spot on the pool where he could stand with his head above the water, but the staffer would have to tread water while engaged in some policy discussion. LBJ thought that was funny.
Late WAPO writer Robert Novak recounts in his memoir that he encountered LBJ at the DC press club. A concerned bystander told Novak that LBJ was "drunk as a loon." Novak approached him to help. LBJ grabbed Novak and started dancing with Novak, spouting gibberish. Novak helped him get down to the lobby, and got him a taxi. He said it was no easy task because LBJ was a huge guy.
TRANSLATION: We leftist fanatics used to be able to rely on Republicans to be gentlemanly and not fight back when we abused them, lied about them, and tried repeatedly to destroy them.
But this guy who's in the White House now, has been kicking our @sses so often and so repeatedly, rubbing our noses in everything we try to do to him, that we hate hate hate him. Since he's revealing us to be the incompetent big-govt schlubs that we are, and even seems to be taking pleasure in doing it! He's nothing like any president we've ever had!
