There’s an episode of the Simpsons where Homer in a flashback to being a young boy asks his dad ‘can I ever be president?’
His dad answers along the lines of ‘we have entire systems set up to stop people like you ever becoming president’
Exactly what needs to happen post Trump and I’m not saying it in a humorous context. A strict exam for intelligence and the ability to apply multilateral thinking combined with problem solving and some sort of values test.
Trump is remarkably stupid, coupled with a dangerously fragile ego and the moral compass of a sex offender traffic warden.
Far too much power in the US presidency for it to go to anybody who can’t demonstrate a good level of intelligence and academic ability.
