Opinion: Run government like a business? Not like Trump Inc.

President Trump speaks during the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council meeting in the Cabinet Room last week.

Trump’s chaotic management style has also left an extraordinary number of vacant positions. In addition to the top spots he cleared out at DHS, the Labor, Justice and Interior departments have vacancies in 50 percent or more of their political slots. Another four departments have more than 40 percent of their political positions still open.First, as a constitutional matter. Trump is effectively diminishing the role of the Senate in its advice and consent role.

As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 76, a President “who [has] himself the sole disposition of” such an office as Attorney General “would be governed much more by his private inclinations and interests, than when he [is] bound to submit the propriety of his choice to the discussion and determination of a different and independent body.” A President who can so dispose of advice and consent may be tempted to appoint “unfit characters” who have “no other merit than . . .

It’s running like a Trump company. Losing billions a month. If it were a business it would have a F rating and creditors would run. Bankruptcy would be on the horizon. The CEO would be removed and a turnaround specialist would be injected. When will GOP open their eyes?

.. 🍊.. PEOPLE ARE SAYING.... .. 🍊.. WE SHOULD CHANGE OUR NAME .. 🍊.. TO.. TRUMPERICA... .. 🍊.. WE, LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.... Trump Speak And Not That Far Fetched. 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

He is running it like he ran most of his other businesses! Right into the ground and bankrupt!

So you prefer Terrorist Regimes?

The compromise with Congress premise is flawed with respect to this GOP-led Senate. They've rammed through virtually every one of his garbage, hopelessly conflicted nominees. GOP Senate votes against Trump nominees are exceedingly and disgracefully rare.

Run WaPo as a news org not a propaganda outlet for progressives.

You mean like the Clinton Foundation.

Run journalism like Fourth Pillar of Democracy not like a hitman paid to kill

😂 He is.. Doing exactly what he was elected to do

Government serves the people. Business serves the stockholder.

Ah yes, more PROPAGANDA & LIES from the ALT-LEFT 'press.' Why, if realDonaldTrump is so 'terrible,' is America's economy, unemployment rates, stock market & so-on the BEST they have been in 50 years? Quit trying to DESTROY America by trying to DESTROY POTUS.

Multi-national Beff Jesos' propaganda rag is a daughter corp to the US corp so this is more like a blog from an angry employee to the CEO of the parent company. Complete garbage...

Working great so far especially considering the Dem's delusional mindset. Pro aris et focis! MAGA

The government should be run like a business not a cash cow for fat congressmen to suck off of! Most people in Congress would run a business into the ground in a matter of minutes! SMH guess Washington Post doesn't like lowest unemployment levels on record and booming economy!

Agreed running it like a business meaning a balanced budget first! This hasn’t been a mindset for a very long time! But you always gotta throw a dig on Trump don’t you. Sad media outlet.

How about we run it like a government?

He'll no! Look what he did to his own businesses! Bankrupt!

People who clamor for government to be run like a business generally look to profit by it.

That's why trump always has to file bankruptcy. It's a matter of time our loan from China will be recalled or trump will take the deficit into the zillions. This is how America lives, loan after loan, credit card, after credit card. We live on credit from 1 paycheck to another

Or he can just hire criminals lime Obammie did- Trump made BILLIONS and Obammie never had a a company job- Guess the Russian Collusion and Obstruction did not work out- keep trying- 6 more years

Can’t read the article because you want me to pay....LOL. Look like the freedoms of the press isn’t free.

How about writing unbiased real news instead of fake news

Unless you're a career criminal, your business is the mob, and your bosses and associates are murderous dictators and corrupt oligarchs. Then yes.

Facts, R, trump hasn't, successively, ran anything, but his, Mouth'!

No Govt is NOT A BUSINESS
