Now we can add "sales". My late husband was the best damn salesman I ever met, and one of his mantras was that good salespeople are NOT good "talkers", but good listeners. Oh, being able to speak in complete sentences helps, or course, but basically a good salesperson asks questions and listens. Trump does neither. He's been "successful" because daddy staked him and bailed him out when he fucked up, he didn't pay his bills, and bullied everyone around him to get where he is. And he's still a failure.
