    Trump having to actually be president is a bit like the Samwers actually having to run the clones they start.

        Except we're in his country, not competing with it.

        he should hire someone competent to actually run govt for him. Someone with a lot of free time and experience. Like Hillary Clinton.

        be careful w/ that comment. The Samwers did run Alando and Zalando, both extremely successful. Not defending but your comp. is off.

        They may be able to run a handful, but they can't run them at the rate they start them.

        But does the US president have to do everything by himself? I don't get the analogy. Think he can delegate.

        Not everything obviously, but it is still a huge amount of work.

        Sure - I think his age might be a concern with respect to that, actually.

        - trick is to make sure he doesn't enjoy it so much that he tries for a 2nd term - just give him bureaucracy

        2020 President's job will be like the team that has to integrate their messy code/data after acquisition. Easily an 8year initiative.

        Samwers run their clones to the ground. We'd want Trump to do better than that 😨
