I agree. Someone needs to have the last word when the facts are unclear. You can hire advisors, but ultimately you will need to decide which ones to listen to. The alternative is to just having another person be president for you.
I know from experience that I am a good leader and manager on a small scale. If I can scale that up I would be ok. I would be horrible at the other maybe more important part which is having the charisma and acting ability to assure people that the country is in good hands. I would hate the diplomacy part of it.
There is some truth to this to an extent and you’ll never hear me say that “simply hiring good people” is easy. While I have shit-all for a degree, due to my role most of my hires have PhDs (or the foreign equivalent in many cases). There are indeed some who would be hard to turn into team players, but if you are careful, you can find the ones that not only work well together, but actually teach and learn from each other. Pull that off and you get amazing shit done.
Yes, at the end of the day, you sometimes have to make the final say, but I still don’t believe that those of you with social difficulties would be hindered by that particular shortcoming.
The nuts and bolts of the job would be something most of us aren’t familiar with. How do I draw up an executive order, nominate someone to my cabinet, or nominate a judge to the federal courts? I have no idea. Because of that my first course of action would be to get the Secret Service to call up Obama so he could give me a crash course on how to President. Even if Obama were to not take my call, however, I think I could easily do better than Trump.
Every time I’ve even been an op on a message board or a chat room, I’ve eventually been removed from that position. I had a nervous breakdown after a few months of being a shift leader at Blockbuster. I’m not POTUS material.
And you’d still be twice the president Trump was.
