Despite what is happening, the President as Businessman analogy could work.

It’s not, though.

Many of you think Trump is the problem.

Actually, most Americans are the problem.

Here's why it is not working now.

First, being a success in business only requires you to win 1% of the market. But in politics, you need to capture 50% plus one of the market to win. That is a lot more difficult.

Second, we didn’t really hire a businessman in Trump.  If anything, Trump is a showman – a PT Barnum type.  He’s a reality TV star.

Granted, he has made money and made a name for himself.  But so have a lot of other CEOs who quietly get down to business and take care of their shareholders and customers.

Hey, I am not knocking Trump.  I want to make a name for myself and bank his bucks.  I just don’t think I should be president.  Although I may be changing that.  And I don’t want his lawsuits.

You see Trump’s lack of real business sense in almost everything he has done so far.

Tackling healthcare first and not looking into tax reform first was a major mistake.

He’s naïve when it comes to foreign-policy.

Sure, he wanted to shake things up. But shaking things up and destroying decades or centuries of precedent are a little different.

Still, the analogy of a president as a business person should work.

The real problem is most Americans.

We don’t think of ourselves as shareholders of a great and valuable company.  That great and valuable company is the United States.

Instead, we act irresponsibly.

We allow lawmakers and presidents to run us when we should be running them. They are taking advantage of us.

Give me your take.
