As Damien says he'd been a Governor for six years before running for president, and had been active in politics before then doing campaigns and speeches, so he had served an apprenticeship of sorts before becoming a presidential candidate.
Donald Trump has done none of these things. He's a businessman (in the loosest sense of the term) with a very high media profile and no other qualifications.
