A Computer Scientist's View Of a Trump Presidency

Is the Donald ready to run for the presidency? Trump's one big box to stand on is that he's a self described great business man. The problem is, here's the Trump business plan:

1: Find seed money S
2: Come up with big idea B
3: Finance B with S
4: if(B fails) {
    5: File for bankruptcy
    GOTO: 1
} else {
    6: Bang fists on chest and scream about awesomeness level
    7: S = leverage(B)
    GOTO: 2
}

That works well for gaining personal wealth where a person is good at step 1. It doesn't work so well for the largest economy in the world, where everything in the if block equals global depression.
