To you, what does it mean to act "presidential"?


Curious what your opinions are of this term.

Myself, I'd say what "presidential" means is to be "respectable" and give dignity to your office.

Pay attention to how Trump handles himself, and then do the opposite of that.

Interesting answer!

Say nice things about Muslims, then blow them up. Like George Bush and Obama? I think we should do that to you. To everyone else, we'll take Trump's funny comments.

To know that every thought you have, dosen't necessarily have to be expressed.

Another good one!

So you'd rather have liars that keep secrets from its citizens?

I answered the OP's question. I am not about to engage in the sort of constant arguments that go on here on the Trump board. This is the very reason I don't visit here very often. I only visited here because of the televised news conference in the UK this morning. I thought that perhaps I'd come across an intelligent conversation having to do with it. I should have known I'd wind up being picked apart.
For your info, I'm a Republican, not that it's really any of your business.
Now go look for someone else to take out your frustrations on. I'm outa here!

For the record,I applaud your reservation about coming to the political sections. I'm not easily bruised,but I see (in my opinion) a great deal of unchecked liberal nonsense, and for some sadistic reason I've felt it necessary to involve myself. Rarely is the conversation constructive,and it's hard not to sound defensive from the onset. I apologize if my reply was unnecessarily snarky.

reply

You are Republican and so are George Bush and John McCain. Are you a war criminal too?

reply

Helping the country is all I ask. No other nations put their politicians on the high standard that we seem to expect ours to be. I'd rather have an asshole in office who actually accomplished something,rather than a well polished liar who knows all the right things to say on camera,but screws Americans the second they are off.

So admirable that your standards are so high.

reply

Lol, should I keep them as high as Bush or Obama,who were terrible presidents and worried about their public image more than the country? Maybe we should stop caring that our President is "orange" and has strange hair and clearly is not a good politician, and see him objectively on his actions. I'm totally fine with that as a standard.

Ageeed.

Unfortunately this is very difficult to have when you have a society, media, and government who engage in corruption, mudslinging, and “undignified” behavior.

reply

Be the opposite of Obama, put your Country first.

reply

Yes and right on. Obama bowed down and smoked pole and got us no where. Now we are embarked on a remarkable journey that will lead us to as far as we want and believe.

Bill licking his lips is priceless and the death stare by Hilldog is epic.

reply

All that would have remained a secret, if Republicans hadn't gone investigating Clinton's private life. It's the Republicans who are obsessed with sex.

So true

reply

Remember you work for the people, you don’t rule them.

Represent ALL the people not just the ones who support you.

Know and defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as you would your own life.

Comport yourself with dignity, even when doing things others may call undignified.

Lead by example to be your best self.
