Yeah, my father-in-law is CEO of a company.......He doesn't engage in Trump's type of practices and it hasn't subtracted from his success.
I come from a business family (on my past husbands side). And you are correct you can be successful without practicing Trumps manner
of business.... They ran many businesses of which at that time I too was a part of. Thuggary gets you what you want perhaps but it's
not going to work in the long run.....I think many companies will wait four years til he's out...or work around him.
If he intends to play businesses/trade as he's said they'll simply go elsewhere to do business because like it or not the world is big
enough in trade etc. they will simply go to other nations. ....and Trump knows that. He's just selling a bill of goods to his followers
about bringing companies here....everything is happening overseas and will continue to do so IMO.
Just watching Putin after Obama and Europe cut him out should be a lesson.......while they were grumbling about Crimea he was fast
on his feet traveling throughout Asia and the ME securing contracts and agreements for industry and business.
Trump thinks he's the ONLY businessman able to secure deals.....he's not yet discovered there are many who will more than tower over
him. Building golf courses and Hotels is not the same as dealing with the politics and trade of International Leaders with the US.
