In a sense, the thread's title/question is at the heart of the controversy in bashing the Trumpster.
Republicans (at least those that are ultra conservative and hated both Obama and Clinton) actually thought that it would be a good thing to have a businessman (an arrogant, childish, narcissistic and devious one) be president of the most powerful country on the planet.
As we are finding out almost on a daily basis, is that Trump "thinks" that (for example) twisting the arm of an intelligence head to drop investigations on him and his cronies, is the same as twisting the arm of another businessman in a boardroom setting.....
Obviously, businesses are NOT premised on democratic precepts; they are not premised on a check and balance system, and are not premised on the rule of concerns for the inclusive betterment of all citizens.
