You bedwetters still haven't figured Trump out...have you? He threatens and then he backs off. It's the art of the deal in action. He's been doing it for decades as a businessman and he's doing it now as President. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
But he was a shitty businessman and he did not write that book.
You're not a shitty businessman when you build an empire like the one that Trump built. Claiming that he is...is simply stupid on your part...
Trump took the company his grandma gave him and almost lost it a few times. His shitty business decisions are well known.
When everyone was leaving Atlantic City he ignored all the "experts" and built a gigantic expensive casino that almost cost him grandma's company.
He bought an airline that had been profitable for more than 30 years and bankrupted it in less than 2. This happened solely because of Trump's business decisions. Trump was convinced that commuters between NY and Boston wanted gold faucets in the lavatory and mahogany trim in the cabin.
If you take the time and do a little research you will find that Trump's empire did not really take off until he quit making business decisions and focused on being a celebrity. It was not until Trump Inc became a holding company and Trump quit making day to day decisions that his empire took off.
Has Trump had businesses that have failed? Ah...yeah! Have the number of business ventures that succeeded FAR outweighed those that did fail? OH YEAH! Many...many...many that were successful! Trump's empire really took off once he got to the point where he'd been so successful that he could make money simply by putting his name on things. He became a celebrity because his name was synonymous with success. I know that doesn't fit into the progressive "narrative" these days but it's reality...just like it's reality that he's your President.
You are just another star stuck celebrity worshiper it seems.
Yes, Trump is my president just like Obama was before him and Bush II before him and Clinton before him and Bush I before him and Regain before him. And so far the trend is that each is worse than the one that came before and Trump is not doing anything to stop that trend.
As far as what Trump does not fit, he does not fit my small government, more personal freedoms, strong 2nd amendment, less debt and letting the free market do its thing point of view. But I do understand that he fits your statist leanings very well.
