5. What is all this crap about celebrity/CEO presidents?

NO! It's a real job! It's probably the most difficult job in the world. Having been a tv personality or a wealthy entrepeneur is NOT an adequate background. Trump has lowered the bar to a subterranean level and now everybody seems to have bought into the notion that the presidency does not require any particular experience (other than, maybe, being rich). Please stop! Make these people go away! Do not vote for them!
