Trump Camp Belittles Importance of Data, Again
Posted in: Uncategorized
Observers of current business trends would be hard-pressed to find many corporate executives who dismiss the value of data and analytics when it comes to running a successful venture. However, yet again, the campaign of Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed “most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far,” has derided the use of data and analytics.
During last night’s Republican National Convention, Donald Trump Jr. took the podium. There he rattled off a litany of things his father would accomplish if he wins the presidency, including passing a loophole-free tax code and repealing Obamacare:
“We’re going to elect a president who will work with everyone to pass legislation that will make our country great again. A president who has had real people’s families and livelihoods dependent on his success and the success of his company for decades. A president who speaks his mind and not just when it behooves him to do so, who doesn’t have to run a focus group or use data analytics to be able to form a simple opinion.”
