Donald Trump's Leadership Traits

Decent Essays
I enjoyed reading your post and agree with your thoughts that Donald Trump is a go getter and not a quitter. I found this great article which compared six key leadership traits that Donald Trump and Pope Frances share. These traits include being authentic, dealmakers, populists, mavericks, charismatic, and fearless. The article discusses how Mr. Trump is found to be authentic, but all so full of horse manure. I believe in regards of him being a populist, he believes he is representing the interest of people with his statements, but in turn he insults cultures, genders, and disables. Mr. Trump is clearly a maverick as everyone can clearly see by his views as he tries to get the Republican Party nomination. His charisma is right in your face

By serving in the military he knew how to react to threats against his country in a quick and intelligent way. He gained many supporters after the Americans with Disabilities Act because the act affected more than 43 million Americans. However he had much support from Americans, he upset some by raising tax revenues.…

    Since his service in office, Ronald Reagan has been known to be one of the few presidents that is still glorified today. According to the ABC News Poll, taken in February 16-20, 2000, out of 1,012 adults Reagan was ranked fifth. He was ranked above George Washington and below Franklin D. Roosevelt.
