You said it all in your last sentence. You could not ever be him. You're a normal human being. Presidents, regardless of country of origin, don't have that prerequisite. Actually it's a bonus point if they don't have it.
The history books will find a way to portray him in a good light. As history books have taught us.
- lignuist 13y agoOf course he is a normal human being. He might live an extreme life, but this does not make him an exemplar of a different species. History books tend to be very diverse, depending on where they come from, but they also tend to align more and more as centuries are passing by.
- nmcfarl 13y agoHistory books do not portray all leaders, even American leaders, in a favorable light. A perusal of history books will come up with quite a number of people portrayed very poorly indeed. A glaring example: Nixon.
- rantanplan 13y agoWhen I talk about history, I don't mean about 50-60 years back. If 20-30(or more) years from now a new kind of government emerges and thinks for some reason, that Nixon being a hero serves its purpose, then he will become a hero. This is being done for thousands of years. Actually it's one of the first things you learn in history class.
