Being President

[_33]

Why is there so much importance on whether or not someone is "qualified" to be president?  Basically if you just have common sense and are a decent public speaker you are qualified.  I mean what else does the president even do?  It's not like you need some particular set of skills.

the us military will do what you say and that has implications for life on earth.

That's why I said they need common sense.  Next.

Need to see long game type decisions for invasions, not invading, etc. Something beyond A + B = C stuff.

They have an army of expert advisors in every subject at their disposal.  It's not like that have to devise any plans on their own.  Just choose between options A/B/C.

What if they all sound like a bad decision but you still have to make one?

Just choose the least bad one.  Easy peasy.

The president chooses their own advisors. If they don't know stuff then they're probably going to end up picking shitty advisors and then following shitty advice.

I guess being president is super hard.  I forgot that they had to not pick dumb morons to be their advisors.

Don't forget the policies

You have to be good at making sure your very smart experts aren't tricking you into doing what they want to do.  That seems hard.

People getting mad at decisions you make is unavoidable in every profession. Not unique to the presidency.
