What does being professional or eloquent have to do with being effective. 

Often those least professional or eloquent are the most effective because they just get the job done and don't care about being professional or being eloquent. 



It's one thing if that's how the president of a small business or president of student counsel or even your local neighborhood association president act but I expect a little more from the President of the most powerful country in the world.

Im a Republican and overall am satisfied with his political endeavors and accomplishments this far. Im not a Trump sheep though like so many are. One of his biggest downfalls is that he's failed to make any effort to take the higher road when available to unite people and maybe gain some votes from the few salvageable democrats that were open to change.

Being an effective communicator is very important and expected when you're the POTUSA. When day after day you get more and more cringeworthy in what you say, it's disappointing and embarrassing really on a global scale.

All he's been saying for weeks now is that he's done "tremendous job fighting this horrible virus and he's saved lives. So many countries are calling him to tell him that and do what we're doing." That was ok for a couple days... I'm just waiting on some new actual substance, more humility, and less mind numbing bragging about nothing.

The fact that our only choices for President this year are Trump and Biden is truly a colossal failure of our political system.

It’s mind boggling that some people in this thread tried arguing against you on this.

I could really give a frick about his delivery. I only care about results. Can’t stand a person that likes to hear themselves speak during a meeting and say absolutely nothing in the course of ten minutes. But hey, they sounded good.

yes, because that has been so beneficial for every Republican politician everywhere
One of the reasons Trumpkins like Trump is because he doesn't take the high road or reach across the aisle. We've had plenty of that over the years, and we have shite to show for it.

I know right. Just look at Obama Or Jimmy Carter. Great communicators who loved to hear themselves speak. And we were all thrilled with their results weren't we?

fair enough. He has been patting himself on the back a lot. But maybe he is bragging about how he's handled this because EVERY frickING REPORTER in the room is trying to destroy him.
If he wasn't constantly under assault and having to defend himself- for the last 5 years- I could understand your criticism. But I doubt you could conduct yourself any better- if at all- if put in the same situation. So I understand why he does this. Even if its off-putting.
