WORST IDEA 10/6/10: President Donald Trump

More con man and huckster than actual businessman for most of his career, Donald Trump has started floating the notion that he will run for president in 2012. Now, while we're all in favor of a CEO becoming president, we mean a successful CEO. Trump has done well as a brand, a TV host and pitchperson.

Trump is closer to Don King than he is to Jack Welch and as a candidate he would be taken no more seriously than when Al Sharpton ran.
