He was a slick salesman with an ability to sell and idea. It might work well with a golf course, a hotel, or a resort, but governing a country takes work; lots of hard work, and a commitment to stick with it until the job is done.

That's the different between Trump and Biden.
Trump sells his snake oil, then folds up his tent and moves on to the next stage. He has the attention span of a two year old.
Biden sells solutions, and works with everyone involved into a solution is implemented.

Simply put, Biden is up to the job, Trump could never do the job.
