I get so tired of hearing the RWNJs defend The Thing always bleating "He's a successful businessman!". "He'll run our country like a business!"

like his businesses! as a scam to be hollowed out from the inside to line his own pockets!

there are many kinds of "businessmen" and many kinds of ceos. some are provide many skills that would translate well to the office of the president; others, not so much.

in terms of translatable experience:

- public company would be better than private company;
- big company would be better than small company;
- company with strong anti-nepotism policy would be better than a family-run business;
- a business with no bankruptcies would be better than a business with several;
- a business with many satisfied constituents would be better than a business with burned suppliers, customers, partners, lenders, and employees;
- a business with few lawsuits would be better than a business with literally thousands.

etc.

among the many great disservices the media did during the campaign was to fail to make any such distinction. even if most of these facts were covered, they still lumped him into the broad category of "businessman" or even "successful businessman" and gave him the positive spin and image of other, better qualified businessmen, that he didn't deserve.
