A year after he was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, a billionaire real estate mogul-turned-politician Donald Trump today said he has realised that presidency is not running a business and it needs governance with heart.
The burning immigration issue is a case in point, Trump told a group of news channel anchors during a luncheon with them at the White House, hours ahead of his maiden State of the Union Address later today.
“Im telling you, the immigration is so easy to solve if it was, purely a business matter, but its not. And I think thats something that Ive learned, maybe more than anything else,” Trump said in response to a question.
“You govern with all of the instincts of a businessperson, but you have to add much more heart and soul into your decisions than you would ever have even thought of before,” he said.
Trump said he has learned a lot during the first year of his presidency. “I think really learned a lot. You know, governing — when youre a businessperson, you dont have to worry about your heart, the heart. You really do whats best for you, for almost purely monetary reasons,” he said.
