Which would you rather have as a President? A historian who is well read in human history and knows of all the mistakes that almost every country that has ever existed has made, a businessman/businesswoman who knows how to get good deals, a celebrity who holds influence over a large amount of people, or a military veteran who has immense willpower and guts.
I assume this is for the USA. In that case, going strictly off of presumed knowledge and competency, the businessman is by far the best choice out of these. That is an executive role with a wide range of responsibilities that are relatively comparable to the role of the president, moreso if coming from a large, multinational corporation.
A historian is at best, an advisor. They are not leaders or decision-makers, and their knowledge is mainly useful for putting a situation into perspective and nothing more.
A celebrity is generally useless in this capacity UNLESS they are surrounded by competent advisors, in which case their presumed charisma can be very effective for rallying support.
A military veteran is a very vague qualifier. Just because someone served doesn't mean that they know Jack and squat about what to do in any given situation. In fact, the significant majority of politicians (including some past presidents) who run on this alone turn out to be overrated or mediocre soldiers when you dive into their careers, and their motivations and policies come from elsewhere, often much less 'honorable.'
i voted historian but i think i'd need a lot more to make a honest decision on. my second choice would be the military person
Definitely not the celebrity.
Historian will be knowledgeable, but they don’t necessarily have experience with representing the country and foreign affairs and communication.
The military veteran is honorable and shows commitment to the country. Several presidents and runners have been veterans.
The businessperson will have a good knack at working with people and negotiating which is good to have in a world leader. But they might not have expertise in politics.
I chose veteran at face value, but it depends on the person.
A businessman who knows how to get things done. A presiden't can have hundreds of advisors that can remind him about history, but we need someone with common sense that has guts and isn't afraid of the establishment. Open borders are not common sense, it's traitorous at best.

A business man would just bring in laws that let bosses exploit workers. You'd end up losing rights and with massive wage cuts.
Military people are of little use outside the army. They can only follow orders and have little scope for original thinking
An historian is probably the safest choice.
The businessperson because they are good at managing things and being in charge. They seem like they would handle stressful situations well also.
Some of the best presidents we're military vetreans like Eisenhower, JFK or Jimmy Carter.
We dd fantastic with a businessman the previous 4 years.
Military Veteran. A president is the leader of the armed forces thus having a man there with military background is preferable.
One with the same views as myself
A man or woman who has broad wisdom.
As a historian myself I say military vet.
Veteran. At least it shows commitment to America.
