Trump Is Trying To Run Our Government The Way He Ran His Small Business

Donald Trump operated his many businesses with a small cadre of loyalists and family members.  He used the bankruptcy laws to protect himself when any of his businesses got into trouble.  This article describes the way that Trump has been running the government since he took office.  He does not see any reasons to operate the huge federal government any differently than he ran his numerous small businesses.  He does not even let his cabinet ministers appoint their own top aides.  They must pass his loyalty test first.  Frankly, I don't believe that Trump could run any of our large corporations.  They are small relative to the government that he runs but they are operated very differently from the way Trump runs his small family business.  Any CEO who cannot effectively delegate the operation of business segments to experienced managers would not survive very long.  Moreover, most CEO's have to report to a corporate board.  Trump has never had to worry about satisfying a board of directors.
