In business, a man's word is of no guarantees. Only the legal contract matters. Moreover you make the implication Trump NEVER values his words at all so what makes you so sure he'll NEVER value his words in the position of power ? Nobody denies that there are ethics in business but you should NOT confer that the professional's life holds equivalency to their personal lives when the former is FAR MORE PRAGMATIC than the latter so one cannot make guarantees about the nature of a person based on their occupation. There's many jobs out there that constantly challenge ethics like executioners, weapon designers, advertising practioners, lawyers, politicians, salesmen, scientists, intelligence officers, manufacturing managers, animals farmers, and let's not forget of the unspeakable horrors of armed forces or hired mercenaries/assassains. Furthermore elections are NOT a business, it's a public activity that anyone can participate providing if their legal status allows it ...

cut the rest for followup

So what you are saying is that it doesn’t matter that Trump keeps his word in business because as President he will keep his word because the job is different.  Am I reading this right.  So Trump character as a business man means nothing for his bid to America as POTUS and we as a people should judge him on WHAT??  What exactly should I judge Trump if not how he does business because that shows exactly the character or the man, the ability for me as a voter to believe he will do what he says and that he is not saying things only to get my vote.  So if the business man will say whatever it takes to get business partner and associates to support or give him money but then he changes his word or renege on his contracts, exactly why would that change as POTUS.  You gave a heck of a lot of excuses but one thing you did not provide is a reason why any voter would just ignore how Trump does business.  Saying the jobs are different is correct but the MAN is not which is what we are basing our decision. So what should be measure Trump the man going for POTUS then what is publicly available to measure.
