Yes, this is a brilliant idea. "We need someone to shake up the establishment". This sounds like a great idea. However, the reality is such a candidate would have zero political or government experience. Would you hire someone to run your business if they had zero qualifications? Would you hire someone who has zero qualifications for the most important job in the country? Of course not.
It's like Playboy. When I worked at Playboy they sacked the General Manager - they moved his shit out on a Saturday, and moved a new guy in on Sunday. You would think they would have hired someone with porn experience. The reality with Playboy is they make money from two places and two places only - trademarking their logo, and Internet sales. The magazine is long dead and is costing them money. Did they hire someone who understands selling porn on the Internet (meaning casting for models, shooting content, building websites, and then marketing it all to affilites)? Nope. Did they hire someone who understand how to sell their trademarked products? Nope. At the very least, did they hire someone who understand how to run a magazine? Nope. Of course not. They hired someone with zero qualifications to work in our industry. They hired the former CEO of Comcast or some such nonsense.
What we have no is someone with zero qualifications. None whatsoever. You can spend decades in Congress and still there is a massive learning curve when you become President. The end result is what we see happening right now.
It's gotten so bad that the White House flat out refuses to hold press conferences.
The White House is at war with the press, it's own intelligence agencies, the FBI, Congress, and has pissed off NATO, Europe, the entire Middle East, China, Mexico, Canada, Russia, and is now sending a warship to Iran for no reason whatsoever. At the same time, the Trump administration is the most unpopular administration in our lifetime, nothing has been accomplished, is caught in scandal after scandal after scandal, his campaign manager is in prison and facing yet more charges, his private attorney just reported for jail this morning.
Trump is desperate for any kind of a victory at this point. The new NAFTA was a complete failure (very little was changed, it benefits no one, and isn't about to be signed by any of the three countries), the Iran deal is still in place, the Middle East plan is dead on arrival before it was finished due to moving an embassy, we are in a massive trade war with China...
Not a single thing - other than a tax cut that benefited the rich and spiked the deficit - has been accomplished.
