Donald Trump is finally realising that you cannot run the US government like a business

[barryqwalsh]

The best moment Donald Trump has had in his tumultuous first three weeks in the White House was the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. The roll-out was pitch perfect.Trump for once was not over the top. And by common consent, Gorsuch is admirably qualified and a great guy. Now the President risks messing it all up.

Part of the problem is the almost vertical learning curve to which this most ignorant and least experienced president in history has inevitably been subjected. Mastery of Twitter is fine but it doesn’t cut the mustard. But the biggest problem, and the biggest lesson, is another. You can’t run the government like a business.

The biggest lesson of the last year, that Liberals are a dying breed, losing election after election. And after losing, they still have yet another lesson to learn, don't believe your own lies. Trump is doing fine, the Republicans are doing fine. Democrats on the other hand control about 5 states, no more. Goodbye Democrats, I wish I could say it was fun but you jerks have destroyed so much.

Translation: You can't run the government with an ounce of common sense.

Bullshit. You indeed can... and it's pissing butthurt snowflakes off major time... because he ain't listening to their bullshit.

Let's see now....the US has been run by politicians forever, right? That has gotten in trouble, right? Why continue doing the same thing expecting a different result?

Are you CRAZY?

Trump is showing his frustration with lack of absolute power

If you took top businessmen and they ran the country like their companies, the country would thrive.

If you took politicians and they ran companies like they do the country, the businesses would go bankrupt and collapse.

Some yes, some no. But with politicians, the focus is to win elections and to hell with the country. In business, the goal is for the business to be successful.

Trump put a hiring and wage freeze on federal workers. So it seems, he doesn't care much for bureaucracies either. The elimination of at least half of those would be very beneficial for the country. This is the business mentality: eliminate waste.

Once again demonstrating a simplistic mentality of Trump

Rather than look at the Federal organization and see what is critical and what is superfluous......he just slaps on a hiring freeze

How many good workers went elsewhere because of Trumps arbitrary freeze?
How were organizations like the VA, which Trump said was his first priority affected by the freeze

Declaring the entire Federal Government unnecessary is not a solution

 

[Rustic]

The federal government has been run NOT like a business for many, many decades… It's been a failure.
Career Politicians can't run anything right... fact

What success is to a business is not necessarily what is success to society.

[there4eyeM]

Career politicians certainly know how to run their careers!

This is what career politicians has given us... not so great

Nobody said the entire federal government, just the wasteful people that really don't do anything.

We had a couple of government shutdowns the last 20 years. Did anybody die? Was anybody denied emergency help? Did anybody really even notice?

You're sadly mistaken, 200+ trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities and misc. plus 20+ debt.

We have heard that for decades.....the thinking that there is a huge pot of waste waiting to get cut

Unwarranted Government shutdowns is waste. The last one cost $26 billion.
You just kick things down the road and pay for them later.
