A strange but true comment about Trump as President of the U.S.A. (one sentence)

Most of us that post here, with our knowledge and experience, (varied as it may be) would do a better job at being President of the United States than Trump..

I have a college degree. I'm 55. I've worked my entire life.

I have no doubt that I could walk into the White House tomorrow and do about a million times better that that fucking fraud, as could any DU member.

The difference between the ShitGibbon and us? We care about other people and would never do anything immoral or illegal!

kinds of people. Mean angry vicious students to the opposite, as wonderful, brilliant and giving as one can imagine. To make it in that atmosphere, you got to adjust. Trump hasn't got a clue. Everyone has to adjust to him. If that doesn't work, he attacks. It doesn't matter who or why he attacks. He is a stupid idiot

I know that I am not very qualified for the job, but I also know that I'd do a better job than he does.

The difference is that I would spend a lot of time on the phone wi Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton first asking for help choosing a cabinet.

Then I’d ask my cabinet how to questions.

I would ask Obama and Clinton how they met the difficulties of the job. What was involved in hiring the very best people and making the most difficult decisions. I would hire lots of people that had been in that office who had credibility and success. Especially I would talk to Obama on how he met recent national problems and how he dealt with Congress. One thing for sure, I would not go in there with an attitude that I know it all. That is the worst thing I could do.

Then lean on the team.

It’s too big a job for anyone to do it alone
