Too specific.Here are some more criteria.
Qualities that a good president should have :
Spelling
A basic grasp of English and the ability to speak in full sentences
The ability to tell the truth occasionally
The ability to not say stupid things every once in a while
I'm sure that I could think of a few more if there is interest.
That would be a first.A signature that doesn't look like someone tied a pen to a beaver's tail and then injected him with amphetamines
That's more like it, but too general.on a more serious note, i would say sound foreign and domestic policies and the ability to sell them are perhaps the most important qualities. some great presidents approached both. many fell short.
Some criteria:
- A President can only be graded on things the President can reasonably control.
- It cannot be party specific. We will grade a President promoting his party's platform as successful, even if we dislike the platform.
- It cannot be tied to specific events. More general events like wars, cold wars, natural disasters, etc. are allowed.
- Foreign policy matters. Domestic policy matters more.
- Don't worry about issues prior to WW II.
Is this a commercial for Trump?I'm big on unity, optimism, dignity, and character. Also, an ability to inspire.
Our relationship with our Presidents should be similar to how we evaluate our personal relationships:
Are we better, for them? Do they make us better persons? A better people? Do they inspire us to greatness?
Absolutely not. In fact it's the antithesis of Trump. Trump's is empty rhetoric, based upon a foundation of lies. That's not 'inspiration', but rather delusion.Is this a commercial for Trump?
Optimism and ability to inspire are hallmarks of his, but the last line is in Trump's wheelhouse. Loooong Home Run.

Someone described Trump’s signature as looking like death camp fencing. Now I can’t unsee it.
Since no President in history meets that criterion, what's the point?Here's one: "Did the incumbent ignore a pandemic and allow 187,000 people to die because he thought it would only affect blue states?"
It may be the opposite of the standard portrayal of Trump, which you echo. It is not the reality. Trump is called the Promise Keeper for a reason.Absolutely not. In fact it's the antithesis of Trump. Trump's is empty rhetoric, based upon a foundation of lies. That's not 'inspiration', but rather delusion.

It's worth noting that it mostly affects blue states, because blue state Governors ignored the pandemic. Red state Governors followed the science, with markedly better results.
You just accused the President of all the unnecessary deaths caused by Mark Cuomo, again. Since I called you on it, again, you pretend to not understand.I have no idea what you’re talking about, dude. Are you sure you hit reply to the right post?

This is getting to be a pattern.
Good point. You should have said something about Mark Cuomo. So, why didn't you?When did I say anything about Marc Cuomo? I really think you did hit reply to the wrong person.
I surely don't see it. I've never seen a President lie & con like this one, in my lifetime.It may be the opposite of the standard portrayal of Trump, which you echo. It is not the reality. Trump is called the Promise Keeper for a reason.
Regardless, he has proven ability--as witnessed by the success of his administration--and he is highly optimistic and upbeat. As I said, long HR.
While I believe that reputation is grossly inflated, it's not completely wrong. If you wish to find fault, it's there to be found.I surely don't see it. I've never seen a President lie & con like this one, in my lifetime.
Trump is very much in a league of his own it comes to comparing the worst characteristics of all his predecessors. He is easily many times worse in every negative regard.I surely don't see it. I've never seen a President lie & con like this one, in my lifetime.
This is pure BS and an example of what I referred to in the last post. Trump is neither as sexually predatory or as corrupt as Bill Clinton. There is good reason to believe he is not as corrupt as Barack Obama. While you constantly impune his veracity, he has acquired the nickname of promisekeeper among Republicans.Trump is very much in a league of his own it comes to comparing the worst characteristics of all his predecessors.

Tell ya what, if you want to go down the long list of Trump’s “deficits”, comparing them to his predecessors, I’m game.This is pure BS and an example of what I referred to in the last post.

The bottom line is that his adherents do not follow him because he has them fooled. Only a fool would think so. They follow because he stands up against the bullies and delivers on his obligations. Just to be clear, that makes you one of the bullies.
