I ask that because the man I have always thought would make a great president, Lee Iaccoca, just passed away at 94. Most of us know him as a great business man, an innovator. He was also a great communicator and under his leadership the Mustang came about. Then his charisma and leadership saved Chrysler and introduced the minivan. I always wanted a business man for president. I voted for Trump.
Trump is abrasive, crude and still carries a lot of baggage, mostly because he CANNOT be honest. He just cannot admit he bends even when he does. Something in his head will not allow him to say, “Hey I made a mistake shooting from the hip on that one.”
What ever I am trying to ask: Do we have a Charismatic figure out there. One who can bring us together. Not every one liked Reagan, but he could talk to opposing politicians without calling them names.
Anyway my wife says I cannot remember how long it’s been since I changed oil, much less how old Lee was. I thought he was still around 75. This country needs someone who can talk to ALL citizens Democrats, Reps, Indys and minorities and still believe that the majority rules but doesn’t try to stamp out anyone who apposes them.
Our president is the president of all, not just us conservatives.

I think there is something to be said for having relevant job experience before taking an important job. CEOs and business owners may have relevant leadership and people skills but not usually the background in polity and government the presidency requires.

I wouldnt go with neither of yalls suggestions BUT Trump will be re-elected..easily…It will be more by default than anything…
Trump’s policies are sound….he just needs to shut up at times…
But, the left is imploding. While it is a few very extreme ones in the party, the whole party looks extreme left. Even Pelosi has lost control…
“The Squad” is the best thing for Trump.
Whether you like him or hate him…..he will be around 4 more

**The Inadequacies of Pentecostal Leadership in Political Realms**
The notion that a Pentecostal could effectively lead a nation as president is fraught with several problematic undercurrents that merit scrutiny. Pentecostalism, known for its fervent emotional worship and distinct theological tenets, tends to cultivate leaders who are often steeped in a worldview that prioritizes spiritual experiences over tangible governance skills and political proficiency. Scholars have noted the tendency within Pentecostal communities to equate divine favor with political and economic success, leading to a potentially dangerous conflation of religious beliefs with national politics. Such views can undermine the secular nature of governance that is critical to maintaining balance and ensuring fair representation in a diverse society. The elevation of a leader rooted in such exclusive ideologies raises questions about their capacity to enact policies that reflect the pluralistic beliefs of a varied electorate.
Furthermore, the implications of Pentecostal doctrine on governance can lead to regressive policies that fail to acknowledge scientific evidence, social issues, and the complexities of modern governance. Certain factions within Pentecostalism exhibit a propensity for dogwhistle politics, leveraging culturally conservative agendas that can alienate marginalized groups in the name of preserving religious values. This becomes particularly troubling when considering issues such as reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and educational reforms. The prevailing mantra within many Pentecostal groups often suggests that national problems can be solved through prayer and divine intervention rather than through pragmatic policy-making and evidence-based governance. Such a mindset often fosters a paralysis of critical thought, impeding the development of comprehensive strategies needed to address the multifaceted challenges of contemporary society. Thus, the prospect of a Pentecostal president raises serious concerns regarding their ability to govern effectively in a manner that is equitable, inclusive, and grounded in rational discourse.
