Quick answer? Common man, self reliant, businessman, don't wear me out, Marauder.
We need business, Marauder. We have two businessmen,, and businessmen like Musk, behind them.
Biden never ran a business. Marauder? You are really off the rails. Find another tack.
PS: It is people like Biden that Trump is trying to get rid of!!! Politicians, which you seem to be bragging about???? Weird, huh......
That's what got him on Trump's short list, not his "qualifications", of which he has none.
And for the billionth time, businessmen have no place in politics.

Itis a business. Politics is, well, a game to play. Donald, he is too busy (busy-ness man, get it? ) to do politics .

@no1marauder saidMarauder enlightens us that not everyone gets that much money.
Not everybody from an "impoverished background" gets $93 million in front money from a right wing billionaire and then gets $15 million in contributions from the same guy, Peter Thiel, for his Senate campaign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Vance
Whew. Oh, there's a link.
@Suzianne saidI think Trump picked Vance for two reasons: first, because Vance is young, inexperienced, and easy to dominate. Pence was none of the above.

Second, Trump knows he does not sell well to the middle class, the educated, or women, so who’s left to whom he can appeal? He’s looking to expand his voter base and hoping Vance will pull in the hillbilly-vote.

It’s creepy to think a newbie with 18 months experience in the Senate might be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office and nuclear codes. Even Dan Quayle looked better than this, with over a decade in Congress before Bush picked him as VP.
@moonbus saidQuayle at last had a little bit of experience in the Executive Department at the State level:

"Quayle became an investigator for the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Indiana Attorney General in July 1971. Later that year, he became an administrative assistant to Governor Edgar Whitcomb. From 1973 to 1974, he was the Director of the Inheritance Tax Division of the Indiana Department of Revenue."

By contrast, Vance has no relevant experience at all.

Neither had/has Trump. Birds of a feather ….
@no1marauder saidWhite? That seems to be an issue for you faeries. It is not for us. Do the women ,,,Kamala, the SS Director, etc seem to be doing a good job?
The same choice he made in 2016; a white guy from the Midwest except with even less qualifications.
How boring.
You are quite disingenuous. Have you seen Kamala's Border? Tell us all that she is doing a good job.Black and female!!!! Very important. She has set black women back for many years.
@no1marauder saidWhat qualifications did Obama have? You ever answered that.
What qualifications does Vance has? He has zero Executive Branch experience and has been a US Senator (his only public office) for all of 18 months.
Kamala Harris ran two large Executive Branch Departments (the San Francisco DA's Office and the Justice Department of California) for lengthy periods in her 30+ years of public service. Vance doesn't even rate as a neophyte compared to her.
What qualifications did Obama have? What qualifications? YOu can do this.....answer a question.
@no1marauder saidYou found T to be mediocre? Don't tell me that you missed the train, too? I bet you don't this time. Get yourself an advisor, man.
I'm trying to think of a single person who's only qualification was he was a "businessman" that became an even mediocre President. I'm failing.
All our great Presidents had extensive experience in Executive Branch jobs or the military or long service in elected office.
Two times zero still equals zero.
@Suzianne saidSuzianne 'suggests' that a businessman would not be a good choice to run our country,,,,,,,,which is a business. And other posts of Marauder are about applying DEI in balancing out our government. I am not kidding. Hopefully businessman Trump will throw his DEI manual in the trash on day One.
He's also the biggest suck-up in the bunch.

@AverageJoe1 saidOne of the, if not the most important part of running a successful “business” is the ability to chose the right people for the right positions. Trump seems to have trouble doing that. His tenure as President, to me, was like his TV show…you’re in, now you’re FIRED. Didn’t he appoint someone for some important position and then within, what was up it a day, fire him?

I find your posts stupidly laughable. Trump picks a Vice President with zero relevant qualifications to appeal to a certain demographic (white working class males in the Midwest) and you praise him for it. Biden selected as his Vice President a supremely qualified black and Asian woman partially to appeal to those demographics and you call it a DEI hire.
In part, you're correct; someone like Harris would never be acceptable to many MAGA types because of her "race", so her qualifications would be irrelevant to the present Republican Party/cult.
White folks in power throwing out the DEI manual means unqualified whites like Vance get promoted while qualified minorities like Harris get passed over.
