Would you hire a CEO with NO experience to run your company?

[Hermit For Peace]

I am sorry but I can't get over the fact that people voted for a guy who is a small-minded garbage mouth who trashed everyone right and left during the campaign, who has law suits pending against him, who has conned people out of their money, who has said and done all the things that Trump has said and done, and to top it off, he has absolutely NO government experience. NO political experience.

Would you hire a guy like that? Would you put him in the top spot to run your company? If so, why?

I'm utterly dumbfounded at the thinking of people who think this is OK.

Trump is experienced in business.

Washington has lacked the ability to control the finances of the country, so the voters elected for Trump to come in and clean it out.

$20T is a lot of national debt.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

But you can't run a sovereign nation like a business.

I have no doubt that Trump will do his best to double it.  Tax cuts combined with stimulus spending guarantees a massive increase in debt.  Trump has shown a knack for taking risks with other people's money and skimming off the profits when it works and leaving the others devastated when it doesn't.  Problem is, now it's our money he gets to play with.

Haven't you read about Trump's economic plan that will add more money to the debt than any other candidate?

I would consider hiring a government financial advisor, someone like Lawrence Summers, who has an illustrious college and government financial career. His only business career is a freelance speaker at Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. Timothy Geithner, R. Glenn Hubbard, and Ben Bernanke are other, similar examples.

At this stage, you are fear mongering to support your case.

The reality is the guy has not even taken office yet..

Everyone is making Trump out to be a promiscuous Adolf Hitler with an open cheque book.

Donald wont get everything wrong. Once he lands immigration reform, he will be off and running.

The financial and international trade reforms will be right up his alley.

but all of his plans grow the national debt, so this is incoherent.

So if you know how to run a construction business you also could run the military?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Trump's experience is in microeconomics.  Dealing with the economy requires an understanding of macroeconomics.  If you don't know the difference look it up.

Do you really believe that Trump will be any different than he has been for the past 50 years or so? People don't change at his age. You can look at his life and see how he will operate. What you see is what you get.

They're in the "bargaining" stage of accepting Trump's victory. They haven't reached acceptance. We're now in the bargaining phase, where they imagine Trump is someone he isn't. Or imagine a Presidency that isn't going to be.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Every CEO's first role as CEO comes with "no" experience. Climbing up the corporate latter isn't enough to prepare one for the role. They either come with good ideas and a solid vision or they fail. Trump has shown not only that is he a shrewd businessman but also politically brilliant. He was able to turn his biggest weakness into his biggest strength.

If Trump was a dumbass, he's have run in 1988, 2000, 2004, and 2012 like he said he would. But he didn't. Because he knew the set of skills he'd bring to the job weren't in tune with the conditions of the time. But now conditions have changed, and now it is Trump's time.

No, skill sets are learned for a job. They can be learned by anyone. Both require leadership qualities that are innate. Trump certainly has that.

[Pericles]

You could have picked the most qualified person in history but instead you picked the least qualified person in history.

[Pericles]

Trump is unqualified not just in resume but in character, emotional qualities and basic skills. He does not have the moral character or emotional stability required in a President. He lacks the ability to learn from his mistakes(attack on Curiel followed by attack on Khans followed by attack on Machado). He is unqualified because he lacks the good judgement to be President. He lacks the skills to be President, he is too lazy to learn policy or comprehend the responsibility of the task ahead of him, let alone devise an appropriate response. There is no doubt to any reasonable and non-partisan observer that Trump is immensely unqualified, probably the most unqualified President in history. Enjoy yourselves, folks.

I think you are on the money. There has been a change in the average Hillary loving thread creator from

"Hillary could have won if...."

"Hillary should have won...."

"What did Hillary do wrong...."

"Hillary did not actually lose because of the PV...."

"Trump makes me so angry...."

"Now 4 years of this...."

"But Trump has no experience...."

We are well short of the ACCEPTANCE phase of grief counselling.

Trump is not a leader, he is is completely unfit to be President.
