Donald Trump aspires to be CEO of America

The web has been buzzing with the news that real estate billionaire, Donald Trump, will run for the United State’s presidency on a Republican ballot in 2012. The season 11 reality television show, “The Apprentice” airs on March 6 and Trump stated in a recent interview that he will make his decision to enter the election, when the show wraps in June.
“If he (runs), great!” said Michael J. Green, a physical therapy major. “Hopefully he utilizes his cut throat economic talents and balances our nation’s budget.”
Green feels that Trump would be best for the position of president because of his vast business skills.
“His businessman talents are certainly his strongest qualities to be president, but his people skills may prevent him (from) winning the election,” Green said.
Trump also said in the interview that he is willing to give up “The Apprentice” if he were to win the election. But not everyone thinks ‘The Donald’ can make a difference.
“I would have to say that’s ridiculous,” said Rachel Turley, a journalism major. “He’s trying to be a jack of all trades and when that happens you can’t really excel in all the areas. He should stick to what he knows and that is business, not running the world.”
“I think that he might have a couple good ideas to contribute but in the big scheme of things I don’t think he has what it takes to be the president of the entire country.
And on top of that, he would have to be informed that he wouldn’t be able to go around and fire random cabinet members and vice-presidents whenever he so pleases.that may be his deal breaker,” Turley said.
“I think he would be too worried about personal gain more than how to help people,” said Allison Giroux, an early childhood education major.
“Considering he has filed for bankruptcy four times, (it) makes me think he wouldn’t help the economy issues at all,” she said.
Trump stated that the economic downturn can be rectified, despite lack of respect for the country.
