Trump would be an absolute failure, for pretty much the same reasons that he is an absolute failure in the business world: he doesn’t have a clue how to run large, complex organizations, and thinks that unbridled arrogance and his pappy’s cash are a substitute for good leadership and management. Consider that there isn’t a single Trump business venture not related to media that has been successful (i.e., profitable). While that would certainly help him fit right in with the do-nothings and rejects in Congress, it in no way makes him suitable for higher office. He is a “high achiever” only if you take that to mean that his business acumen is comparable to that of an unsuccessful drug dealer.

As for your “points”, each of them is either foolish to the extreme, or the aping of ideas that thinkers and doers who are much more accomplished than Trump will ever be have already stated in some fashion. Only an idiot would raise tariffs in the middle of a recession, dooming Americans to more expensive goods, Chinese peasants to strip farming, and removing incentives for the most populous country in the world to play nice with its citizens and other countries. Only a historical naif would think that colonialism pays off, and that state-led expeditions to retrieve precious materials would end profitably. Anyone who blindly says that America must be a bold leader in everything is a fool who does not realize that American power, while vast, is finite. Stopping Iran from getting the bomb and saying that the tax code is too complicated are hardly ideas unique to Trump — anyone from McCain to your common bar buddy has said the exact same thing.

As for a lack of political experience, I’m sure I can rustle up a few convicted felons with absolutely no such experience. As a bonus, they’ll probably have about the same moral standards as Trump! I don’t respect them, and I don’t respect Trump. They could probably rattle off real world experiences, just like Trump — judging by Trump’s highly fabricated and highly illegal tale of scamming Gaddhafi out of a piece of land, I bet those “real world experiences” will sound very similar to Trump’s

Trump is just one in a long line of hucksters looking to make a buck off of lowest-common denominator voters: he imagines that he can pander and shamelessly whore his way to relevancy. Judging by the current occupant of the White House, and by the fact that Trump is not being horsewhipped (rhetorically and otherwise) by Republican voters on a daily basis, he might just be right.

Just to put a few more nails in that coffin, Trump’s views aren’t even that great: he supports universal health care, and pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan for no truly good reason*. He supported Clinton in 2008, and has contributed to plenty of Dems. He’s in no way a conservative. We already have one incompetent idiot in the WH — we don’t need the fat, balding version of what we’ve already got. How’s that for a fearless current of facts?
