Thanked: 369I'm unaware of any independent large (or small) business with the sovereign authority to create and enforce popular law and to command it's own military. I could be wrong, enlighten me. I'm sure "The Donald" is a great guy, but I wonder (and have serious doubt) that he's really qualified to be a head of state. He certainly talks a good game, and puts on a good show, but does that earn him the presidency? Is President of the United States so trivial a position that the job goes to whoever puts on the best show? I'd hope not. I wouldn't hesitate to have Trump negotiate a real estate deal for me, or build me a golf course or maybe a casino. But even those things didn't always work out so well for him. He claims he wants to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. If he thinks he wields that kind of power and can strong arm a foreign country into financing a wall, then what could he do in his own country should he choose? Besides, walls don't just keep people out. I get his popularity, but I fear it's for all of the wrong reasons.
