Under the circumstances, I’d say he’s an outstanding president overall. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) And what would you say his primary qualifications and experience were before his election? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago Well, he’s not a billionaire, unlike his predecessor.
