Business acumen is not really a beneficial attribute for a public servant. Governmental goals might seem to the layperson to be similar or the same as a business, but nothing could be further from the truth. The goal of business is to accumulate money, and any means to do so is considered good for business, even if it harms employees or customers. The goal of government is to secure the welfare of its citizens, protecting them from threats both foreign and domestic. Yes, a government accumulates money, similar to a business, but unlike a business, it's not going to (or isn't supposed to anyway) making a few individuals wealthy and investing in means to earn even more money. It's for infrastructure, basic services for the benefit of citizens, protecting citizens from abuses of power. Claiming someone who is good at business would be good at government does not follow. An individual CAN be good at both, but that person is not good at one because of the other. This president has shown a complete ignorance on the function and systems of government he's been put in charge of. I don't care if he made trillions of dollars, that doesn't make him a good public servant.
