Country does not need businessman Trump

Recently, I heard a pundit suggest the country needs a businessman like former President Donald Trump to run the country.

Trump has had six bankruptcies in his multiple businesses. It should be hard to bankrupt casinos in Atlantic City.

A seventh bankruptcy is looming in his future. Look up Trump Media and Technology stock traded on the Nasdaq Exchange. When it went public on March 26, it opened at $79. As I am writing this on Sept. 4, it is hovering below $18 a share. This basically worthless piece of paper has gone from his personal stock being worth $6 billion to closer to $2 billion. He can’t sell until Sept. 20. If he does, the stock may crash.

When he was president, he increased the country’s debt by $7.8 trillion.

Some businessman.
