President Donald Trump is running the country in the same spur of the moment way in which he ran his businesses, some of which ended up facing bankruptcy proceedings , an ex-employee told MSNBC s Ari Melber on Thursday.

Jack ODonnell , who was the vice president of Trumps former Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City , claimed one of the cons, when we elected a businessman as the president, is that he would bring some discipline and perhaps some real strategy to the government and obviously how we operate internationally.

Trump really has never had that capability he wasnt strategic in his business, ODonnell explained. It was really just the thought of the day, he did things on the spur on the moment. He bought the Taj Mahal because it was the biggest. He bought an airline because he always wanted to own an airline. He didnt bring any economic discipline to how he operated the business and he had no strategy to really grow the business.

Its pretty obvious at this point that hes operating today the government in the exact same manner. He just has an idea and he implements it, ODonnell added. Its not part of a strategy, its just things that Donald Trump wants to do.
