This guy was such a mixed bag. Big pluses, big minuses.

@AChunkyDog pretty sure that was a minority. It wasnt ww2. It was a stupid war where thousands of innocents were killed. they saw it as a war of independence from colonialism. And no dominies fell. Now we are friends.What a waste.

@SploogeCannon Recently, political scientists, both liberal and conservative, whose job it is to understand presidents, ranked him almost dead last. Nixon was 29th. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2857075002

@SploogeCannon not so sure about the current one.

@ZemanTheMighty y'know. The thing about trump is he had absolutely no experience in govt. Theres no way he coulda gone into this job and been competent. Theres a ton of shit you have to know and experience in that field Trump wouldn't have hired some guy to build a tower with no experience no matter how good of game he talked.people talked "outsider", but get one who actually knew something about the stuff. You could tell in the "debates" that he didnt know shit. HRC woulda done a better jib but she never turned me on. As far as Republicans, Bill Weld would have been s much better choice. Personally I like moderates. People who aint radical left or right and can compromise. We need that.

@andzwe I agree.

Only Nixon could go to China. Yea, its from Star Trek, but damn. A staunch anticommunist goes there and makes the connection.

@kevdawgsports7503 Ambiguous

@ZemanTheMighty yea I suggest you find the original questions and see how they define communication. Ans remember, these are both liberal and conservative pol sci or3ofs.

@ZemanTheMighty I thought about it after your question. His communication style is simplistic,uses short phrases. He supposedly talks like someone you might know. Not fancy and formal. But he also is very vague and circuitous. He doesnt finish phrases, lots of implied stuff. I know theres been lots of analysis. I bet thats what theyre talking about. Again, going back to the questions asked and finding examples of answers would be helpful. I know I found some of that before. Its there somewhere. Yiu can always send an email to them asking for more detail.

@ZemanTheMighty yea. it aint "Four score and seven years ago".

@jr8260 yep.. interesting

@SolarVibe11 one coukd say the same about your judgement. Emotionally driven. Everyone does it. But uou can look at objective markers. Thats what the pol sci guys did when ranking trump low.

@aduantas yep.
