Donald Trump really shouldn't have pursued becoming President of the United States! First off, because he is out of his league; people that pursue the Presidency should be high quality people not ordinary quality. Donald Trump became successful because he is a tough businessman but the most neanderthal person can be tough person. Donald Trump is not sophisticated he often doesn't fully see the ramifications of what he is doing and even if he does he often doesn't consider the effects of what he will do in the calculus of whether or not he should do it. Secondly, he is not good at this type of relationship. Donald Trump is great at the executive-staff type of relationships where the staff person is always in fear of losing his or her job but Presidents have to be good at relationships where your manager doesn't care about losing his or her job because it is only a temporary job anyway and the manager thinks your an idiot and/or you don't have the background to do the job. Presidents have to be responsible enough to work with managers they don't have chemistry with in order to serve the interests of the American people otherwise the President is going to surround him or herself with managers that are just yesmen and definitely bad with the possibility of really worse things will befall the country if this situation comes about! Thirdly, he is fundamentally a different person than what is needed. A person that is an appropriate fit for President at their core is a champion or a person that looks out for a major block of American society O the block could be America's aristocracy (America's wealthy) or it could be labor (unions, etc.). Donald Trump at his core is a person that looks out for three persons that is me, myself and I; Donald Trump does not care about the far right and Christian conservatives and their priorities if truth be told he probably at the deepest levels of his heart is against their priorities but these constituencies are the only collective group offering Mr. Trump a ticket to the Presidency so he tries to hold on to that ticket for dear life! Mr. Trump in pursuing the Presidency violated the baseline, fundamental tenet of wisdom for a good life that people who try to always live their life with wisdom are fanatical about they never ever ever violate which is in major areas of your life stay within your limitations don't go way over your head because if you do you're going to find your ass drowned! I am not a pollster but I would bet that most Americans think President Trump is flailing in the waters of the Presidency right now!
