Trump’s Qualifications for the Presidency

[carolina73]

Being a state governor or US Senator or Vice President is a legitimate and useful form of qualifying experience for a US president. Being a TV game show host and golf course investor is not.

Obviously not if you look at the failures over the last 50 years from both parties.

Only Reagan excelled but he spent time in the private sector actually running something before he went into politics.

Are you talking about the Screen Actors Guild?

Only if those “historians” are nationalists or far right conservatives. Otherwise, his legacy will be a cabinet filled with unprecedented corruption, a failed response to a pandemic, an enormous deficit, stacking the judiciary, the damaging of America’s image and its role as a global leader, unprecedented lies that included an attempt to overturn a legitimate election, and the resurgence of populism and a rejection of institutions and facts.

Objective historians won't look at Trump's presidency with the same set of prejudiced, uninformed and bigoted eyes you do.

Eyes? More like lies.

Sorry, I understand I say it a lot, but it’s just so prevalent here….but that’s pretty ironic.

Objective observers will certainly see that Trump did have some positive accomplishments. His beginning of criminal Justice reform will be one.

However, facts are facts. Many in Trumps cabinet and inner circle turned out to literally be criminals. He lied about the legitimacy of an election. He was impeached. He dismissed or downplayed the proven fact of Russian election interference. He’s literally on record lying thousands of times. He mocked a disabled person. He criticized Obama for golfing and claimed he would never have time to golf. Then golfed more than Obama and actually profited off it. He bungled a pandemic. He imposed tariffs that hurt American business. He removed environmental protections and exited a climate agreement. He gave tax breaks to the wealthy that resulted in enormous deficits.

And I could go on and on… What exactly would historians see as accomplishments? Court nominations?

[The Booman]

Yeah I'm sure Trump's got it covered.
