As to why he is now the president, it is far from being that simple. Him winning really had very little to do with his qualifications as a candidate.

I would phrase that differently.

He was incredibly qualified as a candidate. Huge name recognition, a particular sort of charisma, shameless.

It's the office that he isn't qualified for.

To be honest, when your starting a business. I think to have him as a "business partner" would be a very bad idea also.

That too, but the difference between the previous president and the current one is really light and day.
