A year after he was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, billionaire real estate mogul-turned-politician Donald Trump said on Wednesday he has realised that presidency is not running a business and it needs governance with heart.<\/p>\n
The burning immigration issue is a case in point, Trump told a group of news channel anchors during a luncheon with them at the White House, hours ahead of his maiden State of the Union Address.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m telling you, the immigration is so easy to solve if it was purely a business matter, but it\u2019s not. And I think that\u2019s something that I\u2019ve learned, maybe more than anything else,\u201d Trump said in response to a question.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou govern with all of the instincts of a businessperson, but you have to add much more heart and soul into your decisions than you would ever have even thought of before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump said he has learned a lot during the first year of his presidency.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think really learned a lot. You know, governing — when you\u2019re a businessperson, you don\u2019t have to worry about your heart, the heart. You really do what\u2019s best for you, for almost purely monetary reasons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou make your money. You competing against people. In many cases, you don\u2019t like them, you want to beat, and all that stuff. And I build a great company — far better than anybody at this table says. I mean, I have some of the greatest assets in the world,\u201d he said reflecting on his days as a successful businessman.<\/p>\n
Trump noted that in dealing with some of the much talked about issues such as immigration, \u201ca lot of compassion and heart\u201d is involved and \u201cit is far beyond money\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I was doing this purely from an economic standpoint, I would sit down and tell you in one second what I\u2019d be doing, okay? It\u2019s so simple. But I\u2019m not. I\u2019m doing it because millions of people are affected,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
He said that it is great to have a successful business background but decisions differ in governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI put myself in their position. Millions and millions of people are affected. So it\u2019s much different in that way than I thought it would be. So having a business background and a successful business background is great, but oftentimes you do things that you would never do in business because you have to also govern with heart,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
