Once things get down to the nitty gritty, America will hopefully snap out of it and end the ride. It's sad as hell when you're Republican front runner is Donald Trump. Business man, sure. President...uh..no. Most presidents we have seen, can tame their tongue and be wise to speak when appropriate and listen. He does too much speaking and too little listening, that's a recipe for a bona fide idiot. Why is he always in the news? He insults everyone he comes in contact with and he's fake as heck. You thought Obama was terrible...you thought Bush was terrible...just wait for Trump. He'll show us real terror.

You don't build a multi-billion dollar empire without being able to get along and compromise with  a wide group of people.  I really can't put it any simpler than that.   You think Trump will be terrible because you're buying his shtick hook, line and sinker.  You think he's just some blowhard reality TV show star.  He's a smart ivy league educated man who is essentially running an incredibly low budget campaign and completely destroying his competitors in the process.  

He's always in the news because he wants to always be in the news.  It's called playing to win the game.  He's out polticianing the politicians.  

 

Obama had zero credentials for his presidency.  Zero.   Just like Bush,  Bush had zero credentials other than "My Dad was pres!".   Trump will be way better than both of them.  

The private sector and the government are not the same, this is the thing people continue to forget.  Trump cannot just do whatever he wants if he becomes president because there is this thing called Congress in the middle.  Being president doesn't give Trump this GOD like power to dictate how things will work within this country because there is this thing called Congress in the middle.  The biggest problem with Trump is that it looks like he does not have the backing of his own party.  Not being able to bring both Democrats and Republicans together will derail anything he tries to do.  Not once has Trump showed he has the tact work work in politics.  As Trump has shown time and again, he attacks when he does not get his way or challenged.  He gets personal and fire away with that tongue without any thought of the long game.  

Case in point will be Obama.  When Obama first came into Office he had a Strong Democratic representation in the Senate and the House so he was able to pass Obama care (Afordable Care Act), after that he was not really able to do anything once Republicans took enough seats and thus a lot of stuff he wanted to do got stalled because no matter how beneficial the things he wanted to pass, republicans refused to vote.  There are some really crazy stuff that Re

The real big problem with Trump is that his billions means nothing unless he is going to grease the pockets of a lot of people to get things done and he will need to do that for both parties.

Trump billions mean nothing when it comes to running the country.  The ecomony is way more complex than buying and selling real estate.



Firstly,  no one said that Trump was going to come in and strong arm himself around and get his way.  That goes against the entire foundation of how this country was setup.   His private sector experience will pay great dividends when pushing the direction this country moves forward in though.  It's almost laughable that you dismiss something so large.

And again, Trump has built upwards to a 10 billion dollar global enterprise, spanning a wide variety of countries, cultures.  He has clearly proven that he has the skillset with making deals, getting along with diverse personalities and coming out on top of those interactions.  It's simply put,  that simple.  You're so wound up with his 'media' appearance that you can't see the forest through the trees.  His campaign alone is a complete reference on his political skills, he's beating every establishment backed candidate on a shoe string budget while being simultaneously attacked from all over the place.  There is plenty of Trump content that shows him in more formal situations and he handles them very well and with tact.  

You are under the illusion that just because Obama wanted to do something that everyone would just fall in line with his wishes.  The simple take away here is that Obama was dividing Ds and Rs to level that Rs almost entirely refused to work with him.   That is a poor president.  A quality president finds ways to reach positive middle grounds between the two sides.  

Trump has the highest poll numbers and advantage over his opponents of any candidate in either party.   He's got plenty of support among his party and you're delusional for believing otherwise. Trump is a businessman and knows how to reach mutually beneficial (See Positive outcomes) for whomever he is representing.
