Business style

Some people, especially the anti-Trumpers, say you can't run the government like a business but just what does that mean. The style of a businessman is often determined by style of the business. For example, an executive with a large firm has to follow certain patterns of behavior. He may propose a new product. If it flops he will justify his decision by saying that marketing, sales and production departments all felt it would be a success. If he said there were some doubts by these various areas but he went with it based on his gut he would be in trouble. If you ask businessmen who have started their own companies how they make crucial decisions they will tell you they listen to their department heads but in the final analysis they go with their gut. Trump is type two. The idea of a business approach to government is foreign to most but a person like Trump who goes with his intuition is a complete mystery. To add to the mystery he is very open about his thought process in making decisions. He often goes back and forth while reaching a final plan. This is totally baffling to establishment bureaucrats.
