Heard this discussion on a podcast this evening and thought it was a pretty interesting thing to think about. Of the following leadership professions, which US President would you want serving in these roles?

Minister or priest of your congregation?

A teacher at your child's school?

If you were in the military, which would be the best commissioned officer to lead you into battle?

A coach for your daughter's softball team?

Your boss at work?





Would you trust our current president in any of these roles? Assuming the answer is an obvious "no", why in the hell would anyone put him in the Oval Office?

Why is that obvious?

Of the professions you listed I wouldn’t trust anyone but Reagan for any of them (maybe GHWB for softball coach)

I mean, to me it is. If it isn't to you, feel free to explain which of those roles you would trust him to perform in your life.

I would not trust anybody in Washington for any of those positions. When it comes to past presidents for those jobs, then I Like Ike.
Edit: Teddy Roosevelt as well. That guy was an all around badass.

These are fairly easy.

1. Jimmy carter

2. Teddy Roosevelt

3. Ike

4. George W Bush

5. Reagan

For 6 probably the only things I wouldn’t want him to do are lead me into battle, teach a class, or be a minister. But I wouldn’t want Obama to do any of that either so

This is why I love this question. It shows that some of y'all will put aside every moral fiber in your being to make a political point. It's both terrifying and hilarious.

I think you’re overestimating how hard it is to be a passable teacher

Well he's made millions many times over in the business world, written books on business, and was given a TV show literally about being a boss looking for an apprentice. I'd say there are plenty of worse candidates to trust as a boss than trump.

What’s one got to do with the other?

People I don’t want running the country:
My priest
My kids teacher
Never had a CO
A softball coach
Least of all my boss

People I trust to run the country:

since when you we judge a president on his ability to be minister/priest, teacher, general or softball coach?
That is so asinine
