Why Trump will be a total failure as president

Here is an excerpt from an opinion piece at CNN written by Michael D'Antonio:

" Despite four massive corporate bankruptcies, each involving complex enterprises that required real executive skills, Trump insisted he was a great business leader.
What he was, in fact, was a successful entrepreneur who led family-held companies that he could direct like a monarch. He was THE BOSS and anyone who disagreed with him knew where to find the door.
The trouble for President Trump, who made repeal-and-replace of Obamacare one of his big campaign promises, is that he cannot fire anyone in Congress. "

In situations where he can act like a dictator, he can do well in advancing his agenda (Executive orders?) but when faced with trying to advance his agenda thru Congress with all the complexities that entails, he will be a failure.

In short, he lacks the skill set to be president.
