Donald Trump – Friend or Foe?

In today’s Cedar Rapids Gazette was the following letter to the editor. I found it very interesting and feel constrained to comment on Donald Trump. I understand he has some valid points and concerns. His solutions are nonexistent or bizarre. I know a lot of people support him but I have some questions.

People portray him as a great businessman who will run America well. My questions are these:

How many times did his businesses is go bankrupt? When his business went bankrupt why did he have enough money to start a new one? What happened to his investors in these dealings? I really don’t see he has enough business acumen. Has anyone told Donald Trump that the president has to work with dozens if not hundreds of people. You can not just announce “you’re fired”. Won’t work. Why on earth would anyone think it would work? The president is not the CEO of the United States and never will be.

I saw him being interviewed along with his wife. He came across human. I understand the media loves his soundbites and exaggerates. I believe his candidacy started out as an attempt to pull the Republican Party in one direction. This Donald Trump movement has probably taken everyone by surprise including himself. I really don’t see how Donald Trump would really want to be President of the United States
