Progressives say that a president
needs intellectual curiosity, humility, character and the ability to lead. Liberals say Obama has these qualities. They go on to claim that Trump has none of
these qualities, so according to them, Trump is unworthy and unqualified to be
president. I think Republican
presidential candidates require different skills than Democrats to be
successful.
Any Republican president has to
be able to deal with an extremely hostile mainstream media. This ability is the
main key to success for any Republican presidential nominee. The Republican
primary electorate chose Trump over more qualified candidates because they knew
that any Republican nominee would be slimed by the Pravda Press in its role as
the public relations arm of the Democrat party. Trump's election victory
demonstrated his ability to work around the Pravda Press and inform voters
directly about the policies he wanted to implement. After the ruinous 2 terms
of the Smartest President Ever, voters were willing to try something really
outlandish to prevent a continuation of Barry the Brilliant's policies under
Hillary the Inevitable. I was skeptical but desperate myself. So far, it's
worked better than I expected.
As for liberals’ evaluation of Trump, I think their view uses polarized lenses. The current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue does not possess intellectual curiosity, humility, character or the ability to lead. The President has never wavered from pure socialist ideology and has shown no intellectual curiosity about anything that conflicts with his ideology. He considers himself better at everything than the experts he has chosen to advise him and has said so publicly. Mr. Obama's lack of character allows him to lie outrageously as in, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Finally, as we have all seen, leading the world from behind has brought the world a lot more chaos, failed states and war than what was happening when Bush left office.
