Great business people, hire people who are smarter than they are to run the things they lack experience in. That is why Trump has not been successful and Bloomberg has. We have to remember FDR was VERY rich, but he still had the ability to lead the country and the world. He hired skilled diplomats and secretaries.

Trump is a very bad business man who needs yes people around him every moment, no wonder he has gone bankrupt numerous times.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
