“Regardless of where you stand politically, I learned a long time ago that it’s easy to make a mountain out of a molehill, and just as easy to draw conclusions based upon both a false premise and wrong comparisons,” Kate MacKenzie writes foro PixoBebo. “Here’s one you’ll find intriguing, perhaps preposterous, but with an interesting perspective on two greats of the 21st century; Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and businessman turned Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump.”
“Steve Jobs was the Donald Trump of modern technology,” MacKenzie writes. “First of all, Steve Jobs was an astute businessman who knew how to build a corporate empire and did so many times. Just like Donald Trump. Jobs had some hiccups along the way, including his ouster from Apple in 1985, his exile, NeXT’s hardware failures, etc. A number of Trump’s properties and projects failed, and he himself narrowly missed going bankrupt.”

MacDailyNews Take: Or something.
One thing we do know is that Woz is the Steve Wozniak of Technology.

Kate is almost as disgusting as Trump, who is more like Steve Ballmer than Steve Jobs. Ballmer made his money by cheating people out of their businesses.
One big exception here: Steve Job IQ was more than 1, of which that is D. Trump. Honestly, have you listened to him? There is no articulation. Just talking like he was raised in the Ghetto, no offense to Ghetto dwellers intended.
Excuse me? Was it necessary to compare the hard working, and diverse populations of inner city neighborhoods like the South Bronx to racist gasbags like Trump? What did you think you would have achieved by making such a useless and offensive analogy like that? That’s not cool, bro!
Obviously you are one of the ‘touchy’ ones. Always bringing up the race card. You have never heard of humor before. Please don’t spout your PC BS to me.
I have noticed one thing that people often do. When they want to say something offensive without being offensive, they just add a tag “no offense intended”. I think you need to understand an important point: the moment you feel the urge to add that phrase to the end of your statement is when you should know that what you are writing will be offensive. That tag will not absolve you from being offensive. Not when used in jest, not when used in sarcasm, or humor.
If you feel the need to write “no offense intended”, then you’ll need to rephrase your thoughts, otherwise you’ll be offending someone (in this case, people raised in what you called “Ghetto”).
Both the premise of the article and the Donald — Balderdash.
The writer of this piece is deplorable!
FFS!!
MDN forgot the “Think Before Clicking™.”
Both are disrupters. Period.
Jobs disrupted industry. Trump disrupts politics.
Neither will ever be the same again.
Do you know the reason there is so much hate — even from those who purportedly condemn hate — on both sides?
Fear.
Yes, fear that Trump, having his feeling hurt, will launch nuclear weapons before anyone has a chance to stop him. Fear that he will actually do what the right swore Obama would do before he left office: enact martial law and declare himself dictator for life.
That is quite a sensational example, yes.
Practically speaking, the fear is of disrupting the bureaucratic status quo in politics and in media — both on the left and the right. Like Jobs, Trump cuts across all accepted norms and threatens a way of life that has become both comfortable and corrupt.
Okay, they have some personal qualities in common. But if Steve have run for the big job; would you have voted for him?
What a load of crap. Steve Jobs was a great man. D.Trump is a worthless piece of crap.
Donald Trump is no “Steve Jobs”.
Jobs started in his dad’s middle-class garage and created a multi-billion dollar company that has touched the lives of most of us.
Trump inherited his wealth from his dad, and has had a string of bankruptcies, lawsuits over his corrupt business practices. He’d be much richer if he had invested that money in an index fund.
Steve learned from his mistakes and became a better man as he aged.
Trump has been, and still is a liar, cheat, racist, misogynistic, rude bastard.
Steve was a genius.
Trump isn’t.
