@eARCwelder one can argue that the kind of charisma associated with celebrity is more valuable in occupying a head-of-state role effectively than policy "smarts" i dislike what Reagan did, but he was an effective head-of-state for his coalition. Zelensky's extraordinary role in a terrible situation owes a great deal to his skill as a communicator. Everything else about Trump is deficient, and he delivered nothing to his most ardent fans, but he retains remarkable power by virtue of their ardor.
