“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.

Exactly but it’s not even just that. It’s this I’m an outsider, I know real America bs. My Governor was a practicing physician even while Lt Governor. There’s this idea that populists spread about public savants and the people who live in places like DC, NoVa, SoMd that we’re somehow removed from “Real America.” Frankly I think many of them are. Steve King? How many immigrants does he actually know? Jim Jordan? How many openly lgbt people does he know? How many Muslims does Louie Gohmert know?
