Excellent post.
There's a difference between being "pro business" and being a businessman. The former is just code for being available to get paid off by big business and unions. The latter is what Trump is. Like him or not, he's the real deal. He's even lost his ass and worked his way back up. He knows what those actually in business need and don't from the government. Most politicians are fucking lawyers. Their entire modus operandi is to play at business extracting as much as they can from it while not getting called on it.
Not a fan, myself, but to see him run a CBA on the entire federal apparatus and cut the dead wood would be right up his alley. As a libertarian with really no candidate, to watch him say "you're fired" to 50,000 ass leech government employees every couple months and be an asshole about it would be worth the price of admission.
It would certainly make politics fun again.

There's a huge difference between running a business and trying to run an economy. He's no more qualified to do so than you are. What has he said specifically that he'll do that is more than a vaguery? What's the process he'll use to "cut the dead wood"? Can he just arbitrarily fire 50,000 people without another branch of government assisting him or pushing back against him?
Trump's been able to shield himself personally when his businesses have failed via bankruptcy. Not sure you can go that route when you're President.
It's fun to talk about, but there's a barely-above zero chance it gets beyond the talking stage.
