3. Trump had no idea what it means to actually be president.
Being president means making tough decisions and doing things that are for the greater good, but not for you. Someone is just now getting the memo. As he said:
No 1. theres great responsibility. When it came time to, as an example, send out the 59 missiles, the Tomahawks in Syria. Im saying to myself, You know, this is more than just like, 79 [sic] missiles. This is death thats involved, because people could have been killed. . . . So you know, I really just see the bigness of it all, but also the responsibility. And the human responsibility. You know, the human life thats involved in some of the decisions.
And the president added:
Well in business, you dont necessarily need heart, whereas here, almost everything affects people. . . . Here, everything, pretty much everything you do in government, involves heart, whereas in business, most things dont involve heart. . . . In fact, in business youre actually better off without it.
