ELI5: Why is the idea of a president "running it like a business" so controversial?
gpt
Because government is not a business. Business exists to make a profit for owners or investors, government exists (at least in the US) to protect the rights and interests of the people.

These are fundamentally different aims. If the government were to run like a business, it would not be able to fulfill its duties under the Constitution or the most basic ethical framework.
