Would Bill Gates or Michael Bloomberg have made good Presidents ?

No. They're part of the problem.
I'm not sure. I doubt it. In the UK that's sort of like saying would Richard Branson have made a good PM? I don't think so. However, I guess it depends on what one's idea of 'good' is in this context. Good, to me, is dealing with issues that the public are actually dealing with, issues that affect people day to day. I see very little of this. So to me it's not really who would make the best national leader, but how can we give more power to local councils to deal with local problems more effectively.
Sample size is way too small... And I do not like Trump so just trying to be fair...

Gates wouldn't have been very accepted in America, he'd be seen like Al Gore at best.
Bloomberg didn't understand politics very well, to be honest.

And are you and I part of the problem or part of the solution?
We are so quick to blame our leaders and potential leaders, but we are also part of the problem,
We are all sheep to their political spin. We don't take time to actually analyze the issues in different perspectives. We just go to our favorite talking heads and sites for opinion pieces and so on...
Yes, Gates would have mostly represented science and I fear too much of America believes more in faith than in science... Ughhhh!
Speak for yourself.
That I can agree with you on.

No, they probably would not. Business people are not necessarily good as politicians, nor are they often good as political leaders.

Yep. Biden won. Can't argue with that. Billionaires do and will make lousy presidents.

Business people know how to get things done. Unlike yet another lawyer.

This is a myth. Business people have no idea at all how to get things done in the political world. It is nothing like running a business, in which the CEO can give orders and people jump.
