You're welcome, sorry if I came across strangely.
It's just that I think people forget that the office of the President, while important, is a civilian executive position. It is unlike Chief Justice, or a 3* General, which require lifetime commitments to achieve.
I believe it was intentional that the office of the President to be public and administrative, more like that of a mayor than of a king.
And that's what we shouldn't lose sight of.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoI looked up shlub and the internet told me it means talentless, unattractive or boorish person. I fundamentally cannot agree with your seeming dismissal of his responsibility to comport himself a certain way in public while he holds office.
- fl0wenol 6y agoOh! Well I agree with you there about the office demanding a certain level of, uh, Presidentialness. Whether on social media or not. I was just being hyperbolic about your typical blue-check twitter user coupled with a (possibly unhealthy) sprinkling of self-deprecation.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoAh. I see. Self deprecating humor is fraught with problems under the best of circumstances. (It's a bad habit I'm trying to break for myself.) Thanks for clarifying everything so nicely. It's been nice talking with you.
