Serious question, Trump's business approach vs. his political approach

I've been looking at how Trump ran the Trump Organization versus how he ran the first term. In business, he was all about quick deals and branding, like putting his name on towers in NYC and Miami. But in politics, he pushed big policy changes like the tax cuts in 2017 that affected real people's paychecks. Which side actually worked better for getting results, the business hustle or the political maneuvering? Curious what you all think, especially folks who followed both his business and his presidency.

Watching him run the Apprentice was a masterclass in quick branding, but the tax cuts actually put money in my pocket for a few years... it's hard to argue with real results like that. The business hustle got attention, but the policy moves had a bigger impact on day to day life.

You know I read somewhere that most households only saw about a thousand bucks from those cuts, which basically covers a couple of months of groceries now. It's easy to forget how fast that kind of money disappears.
