Regan had Alzheimer's so he doesnt count. Bush1, Clinton, Obama were masterful communicators, each in their own way. Bush 2 had some issues but by comparison with Drumpf he looks like a genius.Spot on. I guess I was so used to seeing competent leadership (regardless of if I was for or against the person) I had forgotten about the large amount of detail and craftsmanship used in crafting messages to the public. Drumpf is like that drunk uncle who tells everyone at the party he has something to say and everyone cringes and thinks "What the fuck is he going to say stupid now?"Being presidential means having very carefully nuanced public messages because the press, the nation, and the world pays attention to each specific word. And so when careless words are used, when inflammatory words are used, that's decidedly not presidential. Such messages will be misinterpreted by the president's supporters and foes. Messages with word or phrases open to multiple interpretations and reversals of previous statements create an image of a leader with inconsistent policies who simply responds to events.I didnt realize how important it was to sound presidential until Drumpfs fat ass got into office. Nothing quite as soothing as listening to a fucking idiot that doesnt know how to be a leader.At least one republican president is saying something presidential. We haven't heard that in long time.Bush administration alums form pro-Biden super PAC

Words have meanings and have to be handled carefully by a leader because they have more power than guns or bombs.
People used to say the same thing about Reagan. They said it about Bush 1. Clinton....certainly Bush 2....and Obama.
We should call you Bush 3.
Bush 1 was great "Read my lips".
Obama was a liar.
