At the federal level, Obama had a partial term as senator. Before that, he was a Chicago politician and "community activist," which means professional grievance promoter and agitator.
Some people have business experience, that is, unlike lifelong politicians, they've had to make a payroll, evaluate profit and loss, navigate government regulations, and plan around growth and product development. You'd *think* that politicians would be conversant in government regulations, but they exempt themselves. That is, for example, OSHA doesn't apply so the unpaid interns (note that $0 per hour is definitely less than minimum wage) are subject to tripping hazards over extension cords running all over and fire risk from overuse of outlets...things that would get a *company* a fine or shut down.
That doesn't mean I think that Donald Trump's experience warrants voting for him, but experience in private enterprise (for *someone*) would,be preferable to decades of nothing but politics.
