(and I don't mean running things).
He loves to build things, have majestic projects that last, and show off his building acumen. I don't know if he'd accept, but put him in charge of rebuilding the nation's infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc). I don't even care if they're all called the Donald J. Trump Memorial Highway, but someone has to get a handle on this and know how to deliver. I think he can. Don't know if he wants to, but I think it could be a point of pride "I rebuilt America" while still keeping him out of general politics, and delivering us both a win.

(115,869 posts)He'd probably hook up with the mob and use cheap nonunion labor and cheap materials, and everything would fall apart in a few years. Trump needs to be ostracized and forgotten, not humored or pandered to in any way.

Just Say NO to The Donald!

(100,105 posts)Have you seen his ridiculously long list of failed business endeavors? Trump Highways would fold faster than his line of steaks.

(2,603 posts)I worked for a non union parasite contractor but got the privilege of our company getting called in for a special job.
They were forced to pay me a government scale wage for the duration of the project and we had better materials available than we used at many of our typical jobs.

And of course he'd skim some cream off the top for himself while he could.

Donald Trump's Weird Old Videos
Watch Trump Sing Green Acres, Smooch Rudy Giuliani, and Other Weird Old Videos
A polymath is a person whos really, really smart about a wide variety of subjects. Donald Trump, however, is an example of what happens when you switch the a to an e.
At least thats one possibility, given the crazy sh*t the 2016 GOP presidential contender and incessant whiner has been videotaped doing throughout his prolonged career as a whatever he is. Luckily, most of it has been uploaded online for all the world to see. From a hilariously awkward sketch in which Trump creepily makes out with Rudy Giuliani in drag, to his Trump Steaks commercial for the now-bankrupt Sharper Image, its all there. Youre welcome.
great entertainment
What Drumpf is great at is carnival barking on the boardwalk, conning people to drop 5 bucks to see the geek eat baby chickens, and a bearded lady swallow broken glass and the world's smallest horse. Kinda what's he's doing now.

(6,440 posts)Given a choice between 1000 sturdy but architecturally undistinguished bridges and one YUUUUGE gold-plated suspension bridge with the word "TRUMP" emblazoned across it in giant letters, which do you think he'd choose to spend his budget on?
