Trump was successful in business, if you look for videos of him before he ran for president he was also widely respected.
Why must someone be a career politician to run for president though? Biden has been in government 40+ years, was VP for 8 years and has done nothing of note besides get wealthy, suddenly he runs for president and talks about how everybody has been failed for decades and how he's going to fix everything if he's elected when he's been part of the problem. It's the same with the Democrats and taking for granted the black vote, every 4 years they campaign how they'll fix all of the stuff that they haven't fixed in decades of black people voting for them and then they're surprised when Kanye West is tired of talk and wants action.
I'd rather see a Terry Crews (President Camacho) though, he seems to be one of the few sensible people left.
