This sums up Clinton and Trump.
Clinton had no accomplishments and was not good at anything -- but she was a fearsome bully who would walk over anyone's corpse to get to the top.
Trump is a billionaire real estate guy from NYC. Getting useful things accomplished? Yeah, he knows how to do that. I often observe that the real estate guy does politics far better than any of the professional politicians who have been in DC for decades. Trump actually knows how to get things done.
Keep in mind that Trump has spent decades having to work with politicians to get approvals, zonings, etc, etc. He knows how to negotiate with politicians, and he knows the players very well.
