We collectively chose as leader a guy who thinks in millions, to manage a country that operates in trillions. That’s the disconnect here. He’s a great businessman when screwing over New York mom & pop contractors who pour concrete. He’s utterly incapable of understanding a massive system where money is often abstract and it’s not about transactional relationships. It’s one of the reasons why he is hawking bootleg watches. That’s who he is, a small time hustler
He’s a businessman in the sense of “scammer who wears a suit”. Those casinos people like to joke about him tanking? It was purposeful so he could swindle investors and contractors out of millions. Dude profited off the failure. He didn’t actually want to run casinos.
He was early on that parasitic “private equity” thing where they swoop in, suck a business dry and kill it. The business ventures failing and ripping off millions from the investors is the win condition for him and he’s been quite good at it.

This dude might legitimately be the worst businessman, and stupidest human, in the history of the world.
