      I’m really not convinced he would… He’s just as much a piece of shit as anyone in the cabinet.

    you know, I have got to hand it to trump, he’s really impressed me. I think we all owe him a bit of grudging respect. we constantly put him down, day after day, but here he is. not only consistently showing up, despite his decrepit appearance, but proving once again that he absolutely CAN do something even stupider than what he did the day before. this sort of exponential stupidity takes effort, ladies and gents.

    Of course he would, he only picks the best of the scum of the USA. He’s proven that point over and over again.

      There’s not necessarily anything wrong with electing people without political experience. If everyone didn’t have an equal shot we might as well be a monarchy. The problem is we never elect anyone good.

        I’m sorry - what? Of course there is. It’s a job that affects the lives of thousands to millions. Having experience with the systems, the laws, and seeing the results of legislation and the like is critical to being able to govern and legislate effectively.

          Electing a legislator is not electing a dictator. The system was designed to give people with good ideas a chance to lead, not just professional politicians. Your attitude is borderline elitist and leads to the “ok it’s my turn now” phenominon that’s made the Democrats so ineffective in the last couple of decades. The only time anyone’s gotten excited for them in recent memory was Obama, who had been a politician for a whole 4 years before becoming president.

            No shit. But you presumably still want qualified people doing the job?

              As far as I’m concerned “makes good decisions” is a better qualification than “made a career out of running for office”

                And how does one typically get good enough at a job to “make good decisions”? And how would you know if they would “make good decisions” in that job?

                  Not being so power hungry as to choose politics as a career thereby losing touch with the rest of society is a damn good start

                  And how would you know if they would “make good decisions” in that job?

                  Idk maybe they could spend a few months telling us their ideas, and then the people could go and pick the candidate they like the most, like some sort of election

    Jake Paul will be 35 in 2032, which i guess means he could run for president that year. Mr. Beast won’t be able to run till 2036.

    Both of these are nightmare options

      You need to be a certain age to run for president in America? I understand minors but I’m talking about adults.

          Is there a reason for this? Is it experience?

          Because if so surely there should be an max age limit too? You shouldn’t be able to run if you are nearly 80 with dementia…

            I don’t really know the reason why 35 specifically. It’s been that way since the Constitution was written. Maybe they felt anyone under 35 couldn’t have had enough life experience to properly carry out the duties of office? As for why no max age limit, no clue there either

      Shit, beast is going to restart USAID just to create the most morbid possible humanitarian effort (televised on CBS, of course).

    So much for not liking losers. I guess if you’re fascist enough pedo Trump will make an exception.
