The Economist: WHERE DONALD TRUMP'S SUPPORT REALLY COMES FROM

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.

Tell that to Donald Trump who has fired anybody who disagrees with him ...
 
financial support for trump is coming from billionaires who owns:
Coca-Cola, Google, Xerox, AT&T, Adobe Systems, and Cisco ...
are companies that sponsor the Donald Trump-led Republican National Convention. Any sponsorship of a Trump-led convention is an endorsement of his hate-filled and racist rhetoric, the nice values of mentioned companies (corporate responsibility) are just marketing, PR image, the truth is: they finance racism.
