As a public service to America, the Oracle today will attempt to impregnate the simple minds of the 8% in our country who think that Donald Trump would make a dandy president with a basic truth. Being a past or present chief executive officer of anything does not a competent elected official make.
Take Rick Scott (please, someone, anyone), as a for-instance. This former CEO of a company that defrauded Medicare, bought the State of Florida to use as his personal homage to his perceived greatness. On the campaign trail, Scott claimed that because of his business acumen that he was more than prepared to do to Florida what he did to Medicare. By adhering to the corporate tenets of lying, cheating, stealing, and totally ignoring the voices around him, Scott appears to be well on his way to achieving his goal.
Like Scott, Trump built his empire by manipulating government agencies and misleading government officials, buying political favor, stretching (if not breaking) the law, and let's not forget, saying and doing anything that could gain him attention - no matter how utterly false or asinine. Of course, it worked for Scott. He got elected, and now Floridians are suffering. The jobs Scott promised have yet to materialize. Florida unemployment has gone up by the thousands since he took office with many thousand more people expecting to be put out of work in the coming months.
My point in all of this is, for those Americans who think that Trump or any other business person would miraculously morph into a great leader - think again! And, keep your eyes on Scott and the once great State of Florida between now and the 2012 elections. What Scott is doing to Florida is what Trump could do to America.
