Dear Billionaires Who Supported Trump:
You really need to think about these things more seriously, even if you're motivated purely by self-interest, which you shouldn't be.
Your first priority should be the rule of law. Think of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and the ten years he spent in jail.

Government should NEVER be run like a corporation.
A corporation is a wealth-concentration engine. It funnels wealth from many to few.
Government is its polar opposite, distributing resources in a way that benefits everyone.
Running government like a business just makes for bad government.
