Government should not be run like a business, because government must put public good ahead of profit while businesses chase profits above everything. But it should alarm all of us that the people disregarding our rules regarding separation of powers and co-equal governance are not only treating government as business—-they are also uniquely terrible at business. Trump Media has just reported over $400 million in losses for 2024. Twice-impeached President Trump owns six businesses that he has needed to file bankruptcy for. In short, even if one mistakenly believed that government should be run as a business, Trump business models would not be the ones we should entrust our one beloved country to. Unless we want it to be reorganized as an unrecognizable system of government that is no longer a democratic republic governed by a system of laws.
