12. The Trump supporter kept saying we need to run the government like a business. Excuse me?

Businesses are run with a profit motive. The purpose of government is to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty as it says in the Constitution. Where does it say "for profit?" Mr. Khan's point must be reiterated: Trump and his supporters do not understand the Constitution.

Public servants in government work for the whole of the country. Trump has worked to enrich himself and only himself.

Keep digging Donald. The hole you are in goes much, much deeper.
