But, in reality, the biggest obstacle to Trump running the government like one of his glorious businesses (even though a large percentage have been HUUUGE failures) has been Trump himself.
The name of the game in any successful business is brand and reputation; Trump’s was already shaky to begin with upon entering the Oval Office, and it’s only worsened in just two months.
With his historically bad approval rating bottoming out at 37%—including his strongest base support of men and white voters dropping 6% and 5%, respectively—Trump’s make-it-up-as-you-go presidency is finally smacking up against reality.
This recent Quinnipiac poll also found that Trump’s knack for lying is starting to leave an impression: nearly three-quarters of voters think the president and his administration make statements “very often” or “somewhat often” without evidence to support them.
Translated: President Trump is a liar. And who wants to do business with a liar?
In reality, Donald Trump is a glorified used car salesman who started his meteoric rise on third base thanks to a very generous million dollar loan from his father. He’s certainly demonstrated talent and charisma in certain areas, but in the political arena, has only shown hot air, hate, and a lack of seriousness.
His incompetence might be the saving grace of fearful progressives, minorities, and good-hearted people around the country: he simply has no political experience, work ethic, or knack for executing on policy.
But, alas, there’s one nonsense talking point Trump has debunked by his debacle of a presidency.
You can’t run government like a business, because, well, the CEO of America has to answer to the other branches of government—and the American people.
