Many believe country should be run like business - but will that feeling hold?
"Well, you had me fooled," jokes James Matthews, with The Apprentice analogy not going "unnoticed".
"The smouldering Donald Trump, everything bar the crunching violins when you switch on the TV, and he's doing his thing," Matthews adds.
He does deals according to business principles - not necessarily for the best way the world works, he says.
But the idea of running a country like a business is not a new one and not restricted to the US.
"I was reading the Wall Street Journal, they're saying CEOs are actually becoming restless and alarmed for fear of the way it's all going," Matthews says.
"They were expecting a low regulation, light touch approach."
Instead, what they are witnessing is chaos and uncertainty.
Voters were expecting prices to drop, but we haven't seen that yet, Matthews says.
"In fact, Trump has shown little interest in lowering prices... rather, he seems to be engaged in this trade policy that is expected to increase inflation," he adds.
But to sum up: "The idea that a government is like a business probably doesn't get seriously questioned, because many people believe that's as it should be."
Whether that sentiment holds remains to be seen.
