Every president takes his (or her) own unique path to the White House, but the ascent of President-Elect Donald J. Trump has truly been unlike anything we鈥檝e seen before. Trump has gone from rich kid to real-estate mogul, from bankrupt to 鈥淭he Celebrity Apprentice,鈥� and from leader of the birther movement to leader of the free world. And with no previous political experience, it鈥檚 fair to wonder whether the Oval Office will suit him.
So will President-Elect Donald Trump grab the bull by the 鈥渨herever鈥� and fulfill his promise to 鈥渕ake America great again鈥�? Or will we find ourselves worse off and wishing we could say, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e fired鈥�?
