Sorry, Michael those arguments are too close to the "ahh but he made the trains run on time"... defense of Hitler's policies and programs.  Remember the nature of a demagogue is to exploit emotions... all of them. What gives people pleasure? What makes them angry? That is the art of the deal. And the deal you get is most often not the one you thought you were getting. Buyer Beware?
Look at post election actions. Note, Trump limit access of media outlets he can't control, and he daily demonstrates zero understanding of the Constitution of the United States which he will swear to uphold as President of the United States.
Given his choices for Cabinet, his plan maybe to simply approach the Presidency as a corporate "buy out" and run his new acquisition into the ground. Thus removing all of the obstacles corporate greed encounters. Billionaires as Cabinet Secretaries? Really?  He made no pretense of being other than a business man. As such success is predatory &/or he wins at all cost.
