I continue to wonder why anyone believe Trump has any competency with monetary issues.  If anything from his business career, you would think that he isn't really good at handling money.  If no US banks will loan you a dime you have to wonder being 50 billion dollar man (so he claims) why no one will touch him.  Then you have President Trump getting all his money from a Bank that is notorious for money laundering.  I kept hearing people say, "He's a billionaire" as if that showed he had any competency in handling money.  One thing you have to give it to Trump that he learned from his dad, never use your own money.  Unfortunately he has a hard time showing that he can be trusted with anyone else money so why entrust him with all of ours.

You do realize that millionaires go broke quite frequently. It kind of has to do with ones nature/thinking to even become a millionaire. I know some and my dad does too and we both have seen how they can have some sort of a missing empathy towards themselves in a way. Like say they put all their money on some stock and it tanks and they lose all their money. Most people would be wallowing in self pity, drinking, suicidal, ect. It doesn't seem to affect them in that way. It's almost like a game to them. They lost that one, on to the next. Some of the millionaires I know have been dead broke half a dozen times, and each time got back to being a millionaire.

They take risks a normal person wouldn't dare take. Those risks can lead to bankruptcy, failed businesses, ect. The safe way of saving money and getting raises, promotions, ect until you become a millionaire is not how the majority of millionaires came to be. They are the rare ones.

Why the hell would yo want a gambler making decisions on the economy.  Think about this for a sec. It's one thing to gamble and if you lose you just file bankruptcy and since you did not use your own money, its not touch, you move on to the next gamble.  Its another to gamble with everyone else livelily hood then if it goes south well, it did not touch your finance, oh well lets try something else. 

Being a Billion or millionaire does not mean he has any insight into how to run macro economics since he has no experience.  If we are to go by the people who left his administration that was giving him advise on macroeconomics, its been stated that he doesn't listen and does not like to take advise.  As he stated he like to do things from the gut.  Why would I want someone who has failed as many times as Trump to be working from his gut if he will not take the time to actually research.
