Since Trump has zero political experience, nobody, including Trump himself, actually knows the answer to that.
That's exactly what is so scary about this phenomenon.

I think if a man can run a big business, he can run a whole country. I have absolutely zero concerns at someone with no political experience to run a country as long as he has experience in managing something big.
With Clinton, it's about 4 years of 0 change or improvement.

In my country, the criteria to qualify for running for President is to have experienced running a company worth at least 500 million or more. We do see it as relevant here. Yet no political experience is needed as a pre-requisite.

Yup, he ran a big business, into bankruptcy six times.

Now, from what I understand, bankruptcy is NOT a good thing, so this makes him a good guy to run the country?

Seriously?

I don't like Trump, although I do consider him the lesser of two evils, but let's be fair, that makes it sound like he ran six companies and all of them went into banckruptcy. His "empire" had dozens of companies, some of which went into banckruptcy. It is like what they pulled on Romney. He took over a company because it was about the go under. Restructured it and instead of 100% of the employees losing their jobs 30% of their jobs. Then he was blasted for getting rid of 30% of the jobs when he should have been praised for saving 70% of the jobs.

Occasionally, you see the real Hillary come out, like this little twitter message. I find this rather conceited.
The difference is, Trump is 100% himself all the time.
Hillary plays a role.
