Donald Trump trails Myanmar poll… of admirable business leaders

Donald Trump might be leading polls in the US, where he is among the front-runners for the Republican presidential nomination, but over in Myanmar, nobody cares.

He scored no votes in a recent survey by job search website MyJobs, which asked local employers and business leaders to name the icon that most inspires them.

Warren Buffett and Bill Gates came out on top, with 25 votes each, Myanmar Business Today reported.

Jemin Popat, managing director of MyJobs, cited their high-profile charity drives as carrying special appeal in Myanmar, last year recognized as the world’s most giving country.

Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook and Larry Page, CEO of Google, both scored 12, as did airline mogul Richard Branson.

Trump found celebrity with his high-profile real estate ventures but has also been behind numerous failed ventures, including Trump Airlines, Trump Vodka, Trump Ice and Trump Casinos.
