26. I told mine that he simply doesn't have the required experience for the job.

He's simply not qualified for the office he seeks. If wants to be President, then maybe run for congress or hold some statewide office and prove that he has the knowledge and temperament needed to govern effectively.

We ask receptionists to have years of related experience before hiring them, why not ask it for the most powerful position in our government?

In 2016 we hired someone with zero government experience to run the office. Look how that turned out.

Phrasing it like that takes politics completely out of the equation.
