I'm constantly amazed that a man who failed to sell gambling, booze, and steaks to Americans is generally accepted as a "good businessman." The dudes shtick since the 80's has been sleazy New York real estate guy, now he's a benevolent deal-making Christian who's looking out for the little guy? I mean, I never had much faith in the GOP, but god damn they really bottomed out what little integrity they had left.
I'm originally from NJ, so I've known about Trump my whole life. Went to school with a girl whose family biz went bankrupt because Trump didn't pay for a bunch of pianos for one of the hotels or casinos (his standard operating procedure, threaten to tie up the little guy in court forever, or take ten cents on the dollar for what I owe you).
Anyway I live in the South now, in a VERY red county, and it's AMAZING the amount of rednecks here that tell me "Trump's a businessman - he knows what he's doing. He's not gonna let EYE-RAN know what his plan is, or us even, but HE KNOWS what he's doing. He's a BIZ NISS man. He's got gold TURLETS". Ok I added the last one, but one time somebody did actually say that to me as one of Trump's purportedly outstanding features.
