It’s absurd that people think trump has any sort of “business acumen.”

He played a successful businessman on a reality TV show. That's it, that's why people think he knows what he's doing, because they evidently can't tell the difference between fiction and reality.

That's the thing he's actually good at. Acting. Getting people to believe in fiction. It's a good trait for an actor, a despicable power of conmen, and horrifying in a leader.
