I know. I’m just saying that for me personally I don’t trust them and here’s why. Public life isn’t a money maker. These rich guys like Trump that without having taken any government classes beyond high school suddenly deciding they know better is the peak of arrogance to me. Fake populism I call it.

“Government should be run like a business”

Fine, would you hire someone who would not present you a resumé based on their public image?

Trump refused to release his tax returns, so we had nothing to go on except what he had learned from the media and what he had claimed.

And yes, government should be run on sound & sustainable economic principles, but that is where the comparison to business ends. Like you said, business is about making money for the owners & investors, not about bring the greatest good to the most people.

A businessperson will see things like public education, health care, safety, infrastructure and environmental protection as cost factors to be minimized or eliminated and not as investments in a healthy and productive society & economy.
