The CEman/gal would be chosen at random from a pool of the top 5 most qualified to be world leader.


We honestly might have some people with similar qualification status to him.

There are some people here with PhDs who are at least capable of rational thought so yeah, easily someone here, even if I didn't like their politics.

Though I suppose it depends on how we're defining qualified.

A random QUALIFIED one? Random CEman then. Most of the dumb people here don't even have jobs/are social pariahs.

Qualified just means 35 years old or older.

Donald Trump is basically what would happen if some random dude got to be president anyway, so I'd take my chances with the CEperson.

Leadership skills, handling of important/high-stakes decisions, stress management, and knowledge of law.

For the sake of the hypothetical, let's throw out the age and birth requirement stuff.

The typical CEman has more experience in politics than Trump does.

As fucked up as it might sound, no. I don't believe a person's convictions are the single most important factor in qualifying them for that job.

We're talking about someone who has to make instant decisions on situations that any normal person would crumple at the weight of that responsibility.

So as much as I might like or respect some of the posters here, I don't believe any of them would be able to show the necessary strength at the highest level of international politics and domestic affairs. And as much as I despise Trump and everything he stands for, he has strength in spades.

I've been paying close attention, yes. He has made all the wrong decisions in catastrophic fashion, but he still made them.

Understand, what I'm saying is not remotely in praise of Trump. It's simply an appraisal of how tough I think that job must be. One thing Trump can do is make decisions, instantly and forcefully. That's pretty much the no.1 quality required in a leader.

We're talking about the same thin skinned manchild who gets triggered as fuck on Twitter, lays out rules for his own roast and tried to sue a guy for comparing him to an orangutan?

Ctrl+f "strength" not found. Brash, boneheaded impulsiveness, yes, but actual strength?

Nah.

Don is equivalent to having addy winning. Worst case we get addy and the status quo stays.

But we might get somebody better. Think darkman, that moderator that has his laser tag business, or any member of the fam.

He did the impossible and won the presidency when every sane person in the world thought that that concept was too laughable to even say out loud with a straight face. Yes, I think he has genuine force of will.

To expand on this, I've worked for people like Trump. I have nothing but bad memories of them. But one thing I did begrudgingly respect about them is their fearlessness in every endeavour they go on no matter how risky or ill-advised, even if it's a fucking nightmare train ride to catastrophe town.

Imagine if you ran a presidential campaign on "I am a GameFAQs moderator and I have a laser tag business".

OK, so Trump has not been great, but at least he's making SOME progress. I'm not even sure a random CEman could last 2 weeks in office before being impeached for being wildly incompetent.

Honestly darkman, balrog, or dragoneerzero or whatever his name is would be an easy pick over Trump if any of them are old enough.

And I'm sure there are even more I can't think of at the moment.

Like as far as I'm aware dragoneerzero is actually just a pretty regular guy who possibly has some less than gutter trash interests and hobbies unlike a lot of CE

Define "progress". Trump hasn't done anything but shitpost on Twitter, fail to get things passed despite a massive advantage in government makeup, and piss off half the world

Well, the base assumption is that I'm not voting for myself. On top of that, the average user on this board is not exactly the best and brightest.

Actually this is false. The idea was laughable to sane people. However a lot of non Trump supporters predicted he would win for various reasons like:
Hate for hillary
Delusions that Trump isnt a corrupt politician.
Delusions that hes an honest man\
He started out with nothing and became rich therefore he can do the same for the country. Both a delusion and a lie.
Sheep mentality
Political party loyalty
Democrats dont vote

The media is the one that blew it up that he was guaranteed to lose.
