Yes. The president should be someone we aspire towards.

That doesn't necessarily translate to book smarts. In fact, it often doesn't (which is to say we don't usually elect people because we think they are smart). But it does mean: knowing the difference between what you do and don't know, knowing your weaknesses, knowing how to hire people to cover those weaknesses, appreciating several kinds of nuance, knowing how to adapt political strategies to suit changing situations, understanding the passive influence you exert on the many systems (legal, economic, diplomatic, international) that surround us as a nation, and knowing how to reassure people in difficult times and get people moving forward again.

So yes, a successful president should display great emotional, diplomatic, and situational intelligence, because these things are what the job demands.

Says the guy who thinks Trump s***s gold


I never once said this or alluded to it.

I just don't seek confirmation bias such as yourself and the hive mind you live in. Is Trump perfect? Absolutely not but is he as bad as you whinny crybabies make it seem daily? Absolutely not.

Try not to be such a shit poster sometimes.

Even knowing how to hire good people is a sign of competence. Or it was.
