He thinks like a businessman and not like a politician. There is a difference. His money buys him the best legal advice in America,  as good as anything any president gets in the White House.  Trump knows exactly what Constitutional  powers he will have as president. .He knows what he can do even if  you don't like it.  He isn't necessarily smarter than other people, but he thinks faster and on more levels than others.  Statements made  during the election the media went ballistic over, have indeed materialized just as he said they would.  Hating him doesn't make him wrong.
