St Trumpy has forever laid to rest the myth of businessman as president.
And that's another damn shame about his "presidency".
While I can't say that a given businessperson would make a good President, it's not helpful that we summarily dismiss them, either.
Another thing that Trump has poisoned.
We don't have a good history as a country when we've elected businessmen as President.
Almost all of them ended up being one term I might add. It's almost like we don't learn from our mistakes.
List the Presidents who were businessmen and don’t forget Jimmy Carter.
Why? Because you don't know or your Google is broken?
I know the intent of your post and you’re so stupid you forgot that a Democrat fucked up as much as any Republican.
I didn't mention party at all, dickbreath. I did mention that most of them were ONE TERM and that would include Carter, shit for brains.
I’m sure you were prepared to demonize a Democrat.
I wasn't demonizing anyone. I was simply pointing out that, as a country, we don't have good luck with businessmen presidents...
CARTER INCLUDED.
I need you to explicitly list the businessmen so I can compare the massive failures of politicians to the massive failures of businessmen.
Pony up!
Do your own research, lazy.
You made the claim, and, as always, you can't substantiate it.
I made an observation, not a claim. You, obviously, have a different opinion about businessmen presidents. Rankings tell the tale;
OPINION | Putting a businessman in charge of the country doesn’t bode well for America.

According to a 2014 ranking by the American Political Science Association, a leading professional organization for the study of political science and the premier organization of experts on the American presidency, the best, most successful, post-19th century presidents, in order, were FDR, TR, Truman, Eisenhower, Clinton, Wilson, Reagan, LBJ, JFK, George H.W. Bush, Obama and Ford. Only one of these was a successful businessman (George H.W. Bush). A ranking by the Siena College Research Institute, which surveys historians, political scientists, and presidential scholars, reached very similar conclusions. Only one of the post-1901 presidents with a business background, Truman, is consistently rated as among the best presidents.
