In terms of foreign policy, the businessman is looking for value added, like expanding a business.
And the evidence of that is where? You have no evidence, in no small part because your assertion simply isn't true. And if you had any actual business experience, you would know that to be the case. Businessmen are looking for personal profit whether it comes trough such ambiguous terms like "value add" or not. It makes no difference.
This is why Trump wants to renegotiate trades deals, so his country gets a better value added. A lawyer may not want anything to change or may be hired to prevent change, even if it can add value. The lawyer is more about minimizing the loss of value to those who they see as at risk and to those who hire them.
Well, that's what Trump says, but do you really believe it? Trump also has said for years that he wants forced deportation until 2 days ago when he adopted the lawyer's position on deportation. Trump's renegotiated trade deals is just absurd and just as fictitious as Trump's forced deportation plan.
The problems in the middle east, such as the civil war in Syria, were caused by lawyers; President Obama and Hillary. They were not thinking practical value added, but an ideal, which was being argued through legal arguments. The average person in the middle east does not look that deep, so the nuance of the strategy was ineffective, resulting in loss value for millions of people. Legal may be better for two stable countries, arguing the fine lines of contracts and treaties. But large scale change needs a more practical value added approach. Disrupting countries does not add value so this will be avoided by businessmen.
Actually, the current problems in the Middle East were caused by a physician (Assad) and a businessman (Baby Bush) and exacerbated by a former KBG agent (Putin). Unfortunately for you Wellwisher, facts do matter to those outside the "conservative" bubble. Blaming the physician for the disease isn't reasonable to most people. That kind of reasoning only makes sense inside the Republican bubble.
The rigged system is better served by lawyers, since they can make this all legal, even if not righteous. This is harder for the businessman, since the free market is about competition.
Well, here is the problem with that, businessmen you so love created the "rigged" system. It's their money which created and sustains the "rigged" system you like to complain about but do nothing to fix it. And your businessman, The Donald, has boasted about the "rigged" system and his role in it.
Free markets are all about competition, doesn't mean businessmen are as well. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Businessmen want competitive advantage. They don't want competition (i.e. free markets). They want to make a profit. They really don't care how they do it as long as it doesn't land them in a jail cell.
Now if you knew anything about businesses and businessmen you would or should know the absurdity of your post.
Baby Bush was a "businessman" before entering politics. How well did that work out? He led the nation into 2 wars and botched them both. He spent trillions of dollars on his botched wars and he committed the nation to spend trillions more in coming decades. His ineptitude led to the creation of ISIS. Had he not invaded Iraq under false pretenses, there would be no ISIS. Had he not botched the Iraq invasion there likely would not have been an ISIS. His spending was so profligate his first treasury secretary resigned in protest. His continued deregulation exacerbated the the fiscal crisis of 2007-2009. That's a recent real life example of your businessman ideal POTUS.
This is the man who looked into Putin's eyes and saw a saint. This is the man who was played as a stooge by Putin and allowed Putin to illegally invade, occupy and annex a portion of Georgia without retribution and probably led to Putin's subsequent invasion, occupation and annexation of Ukrainian lands.
Baby Bush, a businessman POTUS, is remembered by historians as one of the nation's worst presidents. Now that may appeal to Republicans inside the Republican bubble, but it doesn't appeal to most Americans or most people.
And then there was Ross Perot, another businessman who decided to run for POTUS. He ran as a 3rd party candidate under a similar platform and he did fairly well for a 3rd party candidate. But then his bad judgement and eccentricities got the best of him. The track record of businessmen as president or attempting to become president is a poor one and that record doesn't support your mythology of the virtuous magical super human businessman. In fact, the record says just the opposite. Contrary to your assertion, it says businessmen make poor presidents.
