bankrupt," by Catherine Rampell at the Washington Post

If this is what “running government like a business” looks like, it’s no wonder President Trump’s companies kept going bankrupt.

One week into the presidency, we’ve gotten a taste of Trump’s management style. And so far it’s been plagued by many of the bad habits common to poorly run businesses.

Take, for example, his administration’s clear indifference to — or outright rejection of — good measurement and analytics.

Conclusion at best: Trumpy is inept. Great article, well worth the read.

2. Wait until he decides we won't pay our debts as a way to become debt free.

That's pretty much his solution to too much debt. Stiff the entity that let your borrow the money and don't pay the bills in the drawer. He's a lousy business person, but one hell of a con artist.

3. He said on the campaign trail that he thought the US should default on US debt.

6. that's a violation of the Constitution

the debt of the US is not allowed to be called into question. We'll just print more money and inflate our way out of debt and we can follow in the footsteps of some South or Central American banana republics.
