If we could blend the qualities of Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan, we would have an excellent President.

A President that appreciates and respects the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and stands up the people of this country against those forces, both foreign and domestic, that wish to either fundamentally undermine, transform or destroy this nation. That leaves out at least 99 percent of career politicians in this country as most have either never held a real job or run a business in the private sector. Most clearly lack a basic understanding of how the economy works either domestically or internationally, as they have demonstrated countless times through the questions they’ve asked at various Congressional hearings. Also most of them have demonstrated that they can’t think on their feet. Put any of these people in a room with other world leaders and their staffs, at a critical time, and it is easy to see how we ended up with so many bad deals over and over again for the last 30 years before Trump.

In an age where economic warfare is practiced openly, on multiple levels, by all countries in the world, having a President that is largely oblivious to constant economic and cyber threats would put us at a real disadvantage in the future. The President has to be used to playing hardball, when necessary, with adversaries in order to protect America’s interests. That’s also something that most career politicians seem to lack. Most instead just shift their positions based on the audience they are in front of. No real set of personal convictions. Just an over-riding concern to please. The world is a hard place and protecting the people of this country from all the forces that seek to replace or subjugate us is NOT the place for on the job training.

I personally don’t care about whether someone can give a flowery speech or they “look presidential”. I’m much more concerned as to how they think through an issue and then what specific actions they take. In short, positive, verifiable results over empty promises and rhetoric. That alone disqualifies most career politicians. As for the choices in the poll, many are in fact duplicative or end results of other choices in the poll. Just focus on what the person brings to the table in the way of proven results in whatever they have done and how they did it. Electing a President is in many ways very similar to interviewing a candidate during a job interview. Just w-a-y more important.

The best President should be one who recognizes that God exists, that God rewards those who diligently seek His counsel, and that God judges nations according to His righteousness; not people’s opinions. 
A President should honor God first and America second; for by doing so he would promote God’s continued blessing for the nation he cares for. 
A President should be humble before God by acknowledging the limits imposed on his powers by the Constitution, which is God’s provision to secure our individual liberties and property. 
A President should be intelligent and wise, able to obtain and discern godly counsel, making sound decisions and judgements. 
A President should be honest and sincere, a lover of truth not prone to corruption, nor a defender of the lies and intrigues of others. 
A President should not be quick to embroil the country in wars, recognizing that only Congress can declare war. Yet, he should be no pushover and should treat other nations firmly, yet fairly, as we would want America to be treated. He should disassociate America from the U.N. as much as possible.
A President should do well and not be a seeker of acclaim for acclamation’s sake.
A President should actively seek the prayers of his countrymen whom he serves.

That being said, this person likely doesn’t exist, but I’ll vote for whoever comes closest, and it’s no one named Biden. DJT sounds fine.

Truly, there is three types of souls, A)Those that live in the light, that want and try to do what is right, fair and conservative, to be free, by the Grace of GOD, b) those that live in the darkness, in the abyss of turmoil and chaos, subtle destruction by any means, etc… c) those that bounce between the two. Stand in the middle of the road, and sit on the fence. They shall not escape. There are more souls on this planet now, that, seek the abolition of GOD and hate all those that do what is right. Our President, Donald Trump has faced the onslaught that has never been seen before in the short life of The United States of America! Why? Is it simple, or complicated, ask yourself this, Could I face this dispicable( non-deserving), relentless hatred, defamation of character, daily and NOT, Not lose control of one’s self being? Trump’s tweets are necessary, even the bad ones, that he regrets, but it keeps the Left more so in disarray than ever before. Verily, verily, I am not perfect, but by the Grace of our Heavenly Father do I go forth and meet the enemy as our President does day by day. Conformation: 2nd Timothy, Chapter 3, v1 – v17, written long before you and I was born. Trump 2020.

All of the above. Unfortunately, our president is lacking in some of them. He is not truthful, he shoots from the hip with his big uneducated mouth only to have to retract his words. We need a Reagan again. He, like most politicians, say what his base wants to hear. Unfortunately, Biden is a wretch of a man based not only on what I hear.. but a relative who has had close interaction with him had to say. Trump is the best we have to put forward.

Now that was a hard one to pull just three out of that list. Our President has been the most Pro-Life, Pro-American, Pro-1st&2nd and Pro-Jobs President ever. The Fake News has given him not one ounce of credit for his hard work, but who cares. We the People appreciate his hard work for us.

I would say Trump has all of these qualities. On the other hand, Obama was just the opposite.

A President who who follows through with his campaign promises and seeks to follow the Constitution and not “Remake” the country into their vision of Utopia.

Donald Trump was only elected because enough fed up people voted for their delegates to the Electoral College. President Trump lacks several laudable characteristics but he is a strong advocate of the Constitution, and he understands what our economy needs to succeed. That he is not an orator who can read a teleprompter, like obama could, is not as important as his understanding that socialism is a false political theory.

Trump is the right man for the job that he is now doing. How some Republican voters can elect candidates like Mitt Romney, or Susan Collins is a mystery. Imagine the positive things that Trump could do with a Republican Senate and House of Representatives that would support his initiatives.

On November 3rd, all Americans who seek to keep their individual freedoms, according to the Bill of Rights, MUST register their votes, even if they have to crawl over broken glass to do it!

“All of the above”!! Trump checks all those boxes, Demonrats none.Our president should be willing, prepared and unhesitant to fight the marxism that has quietly grown up among us. We need a Pinochet! They need a helicopter ride!

When Trump blows Biden out of the water on Nov. 3rd, the commiecrats will start the civil war on Nov. 4th. I hope Trump is ready to call forth the militia to fight these domestic enemies of liberty! The faithful 3% will stand ready. And yes, we have already seen how the Left are terrorists who burn cities, murder political opponents, ambush vehicles and murder the occupants (including the children inside), are willing to wage open warfare against our police & military, invade neighborhoods and swarm people’s homes, committing arson and looting along the way; occupy cities and oppress the citizenry with extortion, theft, and more; whose goals are complete anarchy & chaos, and the overthrow of our Republic!

With a domestic enemy such as this, everyone who owns a firearm may be called upon to defend liberty in their capacity as a citizen and militiaman. It is part of why we have a 2nd Amendment: the security of a FREE state!

If I have to choose one, it would be honesty but along with honesty would be a President whose goals move our country towards Biblical values. I think Trump is trying his best to do both.

Any presidential candidate must hold the Constitution and it’s guarantees of worship, assembly, speech, self-protection, interstate commerce, self-determination, etc. as sacred and not subject to violation by any elected official or bureaucrat. The Constitution is the supreme law of our Republic, and supersedes their aggrandizing edicts. Anyone who tramples these Constitutional guarantees is a traitor and a domestic enemy, and should be treated as such. No pandemic, plandemic, or globalist ambition supersedes those basic profound freedoms that have made America the singular miracle that it is.

Among his (or her) myriad responsibilities, our president should be a person who displays positive American values and qualities to our children and throughout the world. Never before in our history has there ever been a greater need for such a uplifting symbol, as our current political system has deteriorated into a festering cesspool of deception, corruption, and mendacity. Despite all his positive achievements, President Trump hardly qualifies as a suitable role model for our society – one who represents the best qualities which future generations should embrace as a guidepost for their own lives. America can, and should, do much better.

I would have liked to have had an “all of the above” choice. President Trump has done an amazing job considering the fact that he has fulfilled most, if not all of his campaign promises while fighting the silent coup he has been under since he took office. He is our only hope to return America to the country all patriots love, and the country all of us veterans have fought for. We must re-establish America to the constitutional republic our founders envisioned, not a country where the constitution is stepped on. Not a country where our court system (including the Supreme Court) legislates from the bench. Not a country that have legislators (and a past president) that do not have America’s best interests at heart…… I could go on forever. President Trump must be re-elected, or we’re very close to the point of no return.

The President deserves the thanks of this country not its hate. He has done so much to make us a better nation and yet the lame stream media and the demon rats Vilify him. It’s sad that our nation is run on whether you like someone or not. It should be on the job performance. Remember when he was elected the famous words of Chuck and the gang of idiots. Obstruct and resist. Is this what people hired their representatives to do or was it to make us a better nation?
Remember them in November and resist and obstruct their stupid socialist agenda. Enough said.

I agree we could check every box for President Trump. Most importantly to me is if you have a President who does not protect American rights and put America first that person should not be president. No socialism!
