Addresses critical problems quickly, and diplomatically

Communicates effectively, builds trust

Puts country in strong position to provide stability for rest of world... as worlds leading country.

Somebody that puts their country first, had the competence and experience to fix the things that need fixing and somebody who can inspire the next generation of Americans.

[NathanDavis]

if they were a true leader

and not a mere puppet as they all currently are

that would be great...

[Anonymous]

Somebody who cares about the feelings, health and physical safety of others.
Somebody who tries to do something to help the country’s economically

[Pterodon]

A really good president keeps what was working in the last administration and does something different for the policies that didn’t work

[beefcakebradybatson]

Trying to bond the citizenry and enacting policies that aid EVERYONE, especially the indigent, plus securing the Nation against foreign and domestic enemies, at all of which Trump is an UNMITIGATED FAILURE!!!

[Iron_Man]

Well, Reagan

[888theGreat]

How can any Trump guy even mention Reagan? That is Blasphemy. Nothing about Trump is Conservative.

[msc545]

@888theGreat I also want to remind everyone that Reagan essentially killed mental health care in the United States for many years. It's entirely possible that Trump would otherwise have gotten the mental health care he needed and deserved when he was a young man, and we would not be having the kind of problems with him that we're having now. Trump is unfortunately the poster child for why treating mental health care is important, not just to the person who needs it, but to all of us.
