Trump should have. He was told that taking on so much debt to build the Taj Mahal wasn't a good idea as it was going to pull customers from his other two casinos. Trump knew better. They went bankrupt.Successful executives never listened to you for obvious reasons.
Underlings told him that installing heavy, plush carpeting and marble sink tops on an airplane wasn't a good idea as the extra weight meant fewer passengers, and people on a plane with 6 seats across weren't expecting bizjet amenities on an hour long flight, but Trump knew better. It went bankrupt.
Trump was told that the USFL wasn't ready to compete with the NFL in the winter. Trump knew better. They won a $3 settlement in a lawsuit and the league folded.
He's successful at marketing his name, but as an executive, he really should listen to his underlings.
Oh yeah....on foreign policy...I thought denuclearization was the only thing Trump would accept from North Korea. Kim still has his nukes and Trump is fine with it. He got his photo op.
