But his nickname is “micromanager in chief”.
I have to wonder though, when he flits in, spends 10 minutes inserting himself into the Air Force One or F-35 contract process, then flits back out and pretends he accomplished a lot. Is that micromanaging, or showboating? From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of That One Guy /sarcasm Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2017 12:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT.

The true, correct story of what happened at Donald Trump’s inauguration - The Washington Post Well, I’m not sure Eisenhower was in over his head. More like a vacation after his previous job. As far as Trump being a brilliant businessman, he’s more like a brand licenser and reality TV host now that (almost) nobody will loan him money anymore. I remember him being more of a laughingstock in the 80’s due to his serial bankruptcies. His modus operandi seems to be: 1) Create chaos 2) Send in the lawyers … PROFIT! If you are willing to be ruthless and screw over your partners, vendors, and fellow investors, there is always profit to be made. Until people wise up and won’t deal with you. Then you only have one option remaining – run for elected office. I also have a hard time envisioning The Trump Organization as a very large organization with hundreds of divisions. More like Russian nesting dolls for tax purposes. Articles I have read about their offices in Trump Tower say it is pretty spartan. And as far as turning over day-to-day management to his sons, you don’t think that already happened over the years? Well, at least Don Jr. Like SNL says, “and I’m Eric”. Maybe I’m judging him harshly because he looks so strange, wasn’t he Odo on Star Trek? I’m sorry, I just don’t see DJT as a business magnate in the same class with Jack Welch or Warren Buffett. If you pull any list of the top NYC real estate developers, Trump won’t even be on the list. That’s why the actual real estate magnates hold him in such low regard. Not that their opinion is necessarily more important than your average swamp critter.

BRING OUT THE KOOL AIDE VATS. The true, correct story of what happened at Donald Trump’s inauguration - The Washington Post I think all presidents quickly realize they are in over their head. No way you can actually be prepared for the job. But one thing that Trump has going for him is the proven ability to organize and run very large organizations with hundreds of divisions. No way he could have been successful in the business world without the ability to give his lieutenants free reign. He is an ass, an megalomaniac, probably a sociopath, narcissistic, probably delusional – but I have liked everything he has done so far with the exception of the way he is handling Mexico. I think they need to build an electronic wall. Fiber optic cable 100% of the border with cameras each half miles and drones on each camera pole. Crowdsource the monitoring. Let the Minuteman organizations watch things. Make the cameras IR so if they see something at night, launch the drone to check it out.
