I agree, but it is not unfair either to judge him based upon that lack of experience. After all, running a country is not at all like running a casino. (Which he did badly, btw. His business acumen has had "mixed" success. See here.)
For Governor, yes, perhaps, if the electorate insists*.
But running a country with his finger on the Nuclear Button? No way, José ... !
*Still, we ask kids to take driving lessons before running the car into a wall. Why not the same for the presidency ... ?
Because driving a car is, usually, a solo activity, while the Presidency is a collective enterprise, there is a vast administration in being. So your analogy doesn't work. Let's take just one example of a President who had never before stood for any elective office: Eisenhower. That worked out pretty well.
