The difference is that the government is not a business. It's not. And the main way in which it is similar, i.e. it's a large organization that needs to be run as efficiently as possible, is what Trump is terrible at. He's a deal maker, and historically a pretty good one, but I'm not sure what his ability to make big real estate deals has to do with being a good president.
The other thing is, as a businessman Trump has left a lot of broken companies and shattered lives in his wake. It's fine for him to take a risk on a project, have it go bankrupt, and then he goes on to something else, but that's not really what you look for in someone running a nation. The US can't be abandoned as a bad bet by its president, and Trump's done a lot of that in his career.
Though you are right that his candidacy is not a joke, and everyone at this point should stop pretending that it is.
It is a business. It has revenues and expenses, and the profits are seen in the prosperity and future of the U.S. Run the country like shit, and have a shitty future.
I would call it the largest business in the history of planet earth. If you don't want to call it a business, fine.
You haven't told me why he's terrible at running a business and you ignored the whole point of my post.
He's a joke compared to who? What has Obama, Hillary, or any repub candidates done in their life that makes Trump pale in comparison?
And really you're upset about investment banks losing money on a deal? People accept risk when they invest...sometimes they realize a profit sometimes they lose. This is a pathetic talking point usually used by those that typically hate banks, and the wealthy.
