Why do people want Trump?

Oh okay, I am not sure who would decide that. When you say it's an ideal, are you saying the American people would frown upon if having to meet certain qualifications, as opposed to just anyone being allowed to be President?

I'm no expert - my guess is that they'd say the idea was supposed to be that if the people wanted a particular (willing) person as their leader, that's who they should get, regardless of all else. Of course the system doesn't really let them do that, because the political parties decide who will "run" and who won't - I guess in theory anybody can try to "run," certainly anybody in the UK can, but they have to have a deposit - a sum of money that they don't get back if nobody votes for them, to stop the competition being flooded out with applicants who don't stand a chance (or can't afford the risk to their pocket). And you can't compete if you've got a criminal record or if you aren't a citizen. So even now they do have to meet certain qualifications, just not "intelligence" or integrity, presumably because those things are too subjective to measure.

Well also what if people had the power to just fire the President by vote if they didn't like him/her? I mean there is impeachment but that is a long process which doesn't seem to do much, in terms of firing usually. So why not just make it that people could vote to fire and the firing would be easy as firing someone from a non-union job?

Would that make people sit better when it comes to the Presidency?

That’s literally what happened during the election. People voted for Biden, in turn firing trump instead of voting him in for a second term.


I think the only way a president gets fired on the spot is by impeachment Or if they lose their mind/are too sick then other members of government can vote to remove them. That was proposed several times for trump but they never had enough people willing to vote to toss him out for being crazy.

Because HE has COMMON SENSE. The media has been demonizing him and lying to you.

But you can only fire a President every election. The fact that people have to wait that long gets them all riled up more. If you can fire the President at any point, like how you can terminate people on other jobs, instead of having to wait four years, then that limits the President's power, thus the people would have more control and be more satisfied.

Well one thing people say about Trump is that he is sexist, but I cannot find any women who have come forth to accuse him of any mistreatment or abuse though, for one thing.

Donald Trump, the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, including non-consensual kissing or groping, by at least 25 women since the 1970s. The accusations have resulted in three instances of litigation: his then-wife Ivana made a rape claim during their 1989 divorce litigation but later recanted that claim;[ businesswoman Jill Harth sued Trump in 1997 alleging breach of contract while also suing for sexual harassment but agreed to forfeit her sexual harassment claim as part of a settlement she received relating to the former suit; and, in 2017, former The Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos filed a defamation lawsuit after Trump accused her of lying about her sexual misconduct allegations against him.

Two of the allegations (by Ivana Trump and Jill Harth) became public before Trump's candidacy for president, but the rest arose after a 2005 audio recording was leaked during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump was recorded bragging that a celebrity like himself "can do anything" to women, including "just start kissing them ... I don't even wait" and "grab 'em by the p****". Trump subsequently characterized those comments as "locker room talk" and denied actually behaving that way toward women, and he also apologized for the crude language. Many of his accusers stated that Trump's denials provoked them into going public with their allegations.

Another type of accusation was made, primarily after the audio recording surfaced, by several former Miss USA and Miss Teen USA contestants, who accused Trump of entering the dressing rooms of beauty pageant contestants. Trump, who owned the Miss Universe franchise, which includes both pageants, was accused of going into dressing rooms in 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2006, while contestants were in various stages of undress. Trump had already referred to this practice during a 2005 interview on The Howard Stern Show, saying he could "get away with things like that" because he owned the beauty pageants the women and girls were competing in.

In June 2019, writer E. Jean Carroll alleged in New York magazine that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in 1995 or 1996. The magazine said two friends of Carroll confirmed that Carroll had previously confided in them in regard to the incident. Trump called the allegation fiction and denied ever meeting Carroll, although New York had published a photo of Trump and Carroll together in 1987. In October 2019, the book All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator[a] by Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy was published, containing 43 additional allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump.

Trump has denied all the allegations against him, saying he has been the victim of media bias, conspiracies, and a political smear campaign. In October 2016, Trump publicly vowed to sue all the women who have made allegations of sexual misconduct against him, as well as The New York Times for publishing the allegations, but he has yet to follow through with any legal action.
