My Third Suggestion For The Trump Administration

Gameshows Forever

To recap my first two suggestions:
#1: A lottery contest aimed at making ObamaCare TrumpCare stronger
#2: An international contest highlighting best investments

And here's #3: The Best New Ideas Contest

Another contest!  That's because our current president has the experience in this area (slickly produced competitive television shows), so if he focused on it, he'd likely do better than, say, I would.

How does this one work?

Announce an annual contest that highlights new ideas.  Proposals can be in any field.  Also invite talent agents, HR personnel, venture capitalists, etc., to be in the audience.

Prior to the event, the field is winnowed to perhaps 50 contestants.  Then, over a week's worth of presentations (10 a day), finalists (3 each day) are selected by the in-house audience; also: 3 fan-favorites from those watching at home.

To avoid the buzzkill of young inventors choking onstage, finalists collaborate with contest personnel to each produce a short video.  These, along with some on-stage pageantry, constitute the run-up to each night's finale.

The sixth and final day would have the 18 finalists' videos screened again.  1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners would be picked.

The final day's event would take place at the White House with Trump and a few select audience members choosing the winners.

Republicans admire rags-to-riches self-improvement.  This would be institutionalizing the concept.  And in the years to come, if any winning ideas reached the big time, Trump could rightly claim that he, in fact, did create good jobs.
