Success Quote by Donald Trump

“Virtually impossible” is the kind of absolutist complaint that does two jobs at once: it flatters the speaker as a can-do builder while casting government as an all-purpose villain. Coming from Trump the businessman, the line isn’t policy analysis so much as branding. He’s selling a familiar story of American friction: the entrepreneur as hero, the regulator as faceless obstacle, the deal as moral clarity. The repetition of “if you want to” works like a drumbeat, inviting listeners to audition themselves as strivers. If you see yourself as someone trying to build, you’re already on his side.

The subtext is grievance with a target. “Bureaucracy” and “approvals” are intentionally vague; they let different audiences project their own annoyances onto the same enemy, whether it’s zoning boards, environmental review, licensing, or paperwork at the DMV. That vagueness is strategic: specificity would force tradeoffs (approvals exist because someone got hurt, defrauded, displaced, or poisoned), while generality keeps the emotional punch clean.

Context matters because this rhetoric lands in a country where “start a company” is celebrated, but actual building is often slowed by a tangle of local rules, lawsuits, and overlapping agencies. Trump’s move is to collapse that complexity into a simple moral narrative: builders versus blockers. It’s persuasive because it converts inconvenience into indignity, turning red tape from a mundane administrative problem into a cultural betrayal of ambition.
