PRESIDENTIAL QUALITIES

What are the qualities that are needed in a President of the United States?

* Intelligence and a desire for knowledge.  He or she does not need to be an expert in every issue, but must have a basic understanding of the issues and the desire to learn more.

* Competence in the area of diplomacy, negotiation, leadership, and administration.

* Respect for the Constitution, law and justice, and the office of the Presidency.

* An open mind.  The ability to listen to, and respect, advisors and colleagues, political opponents, and individuals in and out of government with opposing and differing opinions, philosophies and proposals.   

* An understanding of the duties, responsibilities and limitations of the office of the President.

* What I call “the four H’s” – honesty, humility, humor, and humanity.

* And, of course, character - moral strength and integrity.

Donald T Rump does not possess a single one of these qualities.
