He was a successful real estate developer with buildings and other properties all over the world. If all he ever did was be a game show host that's still more than what Michelle Obama has accomplished.

My crazy theory is that Trump is actually proof that one does not need to have particularly deep relevant experience, knowledge or intelligence to be President for 4 or 8 years.

Of course you do. You've made it pretty clear how you feel about him. But the Left's aversion to him is so strong that if he walked on water while curing cancer they'd still hate him.

He didn't walk on water. He didn't cure cancer. He stacked the courts with a bunch of anti-labor judges. He rolled back workers rights nationwide. He did everything I'm his power to destroy unions.

Really, how so? What laws were passed that he signed that did that? Real question, I wasn't aware.

You called him a racist, you defend that.

There are plenty of things you could point at to augment that argument: embracing birtherism, referring to African nations as ":censored2:hole countries," telling congresswomen of color to go back to where they came from, calling Mexican immigrants "rapists," refusing to denounce white supremacists during a presidential debate and so on.

Don’t forget the Central Park 5 or his NYC apartments

That's the problem with the Left. Everything is about racism and to be acceptable you've got to point out racism all day long and virtue signal your personal superiority to those not as enlightened as you. All of that you cited is/was subject to interpretation and of course the Left interprets it as racism. Can't win so why bother?

Not just the left's aversion. But that won't stop him from winning Republican Presidential primaries.

Have you ever read a newspaper? Ever?
You said he was anti-labor. How so? Was he pro Union? Of course not, he was a Republican president. But what did he do to bust up unions? How was labor hurt? He tried to work out a trade deal with China that would address the huge trade imbalance with them. Who do you think that would've benefited? I guess we could just keep the status quo of most of our manufacturing being offshore and half the country are literally wage slaves.
