I think Donald Trump is pretty much what you'd expect the son of a billionaire to be. But unlike other children of billionaires, like his four siblings, Donald Trump has always enjoyed garnering as much public attention as he can, regardless whether it's negative or positive attention.

As a businessman Trump has a reputation for being economical with the truth but generous with exaggeration. Unlike Mitt Romney who has left a group of very satisfied and grateful business partners and investors in his wake, you'd be hard pressed to find a business partner or investor in Donald Trump's businesses who speak highly of him. Donald is known in business as a grinder, someone who keeps pressing for concessions after a deal has been settled, which Trump sees this as proof of his "good negotiating skills".

I'd gladly do business with Mitt Romney because he's a straight-up guy, but I would never do business with Trump or similar litigious chiselers. You and I could both quickly list a number of this type of shifty litigious business people of this sort me here in Los Angeles and you in Hong Kong.

When people like this do business with each other it's a game to see which one can be the bigger pain in the ass, as they spend all of their energy trying to one up each other. My sense is Hillary Clinton is pretty much the same sort of person. This sort of business game is one civilians like you or I try to steer clear of.

Who would make a better American President? A grinder/chiseler like Trump or Clinton - or men of their word like Romney or Sanders?

In a job like that both types have their strengths and their weaknesses.
