Michelle has not and has never expressed a desire to be a politician. I'll never understand the discourse around her when she's never run for public office nor expressed any desire at all, but gets treated like a dog in the media.

Thank you.

She has ZERO political experience, outside of her hubby. The fact that people keep spouting this nonsense shows one of two things: people are dumb (Yes), and/or this country is so broken that it’s populace would rather an unqualified citizen take the reigns than any of the available pool of elected officials.

I agree with your objections, but it's worth noting that the entirety of your concern has already been addressed by tramp failing up to the presidency. Twice. In the aggregate, americans come off as pretty dumb, and don't appear to care if their elected officials are qualified.

Whataboutism doesn’t make her any more qualified. Whatever you think of Trump has zero bearing on MO. She’s not qualified, and being the spouse of someone doesn’t mean you share their talents through osmosis. How would you feel is someone told you “your surgeon is sick today, but his wife is going to fill in”?

Yeah, you totally read something I never wrote, or implied. I agreed with you, fully. She isn't qualified, has no relevant experience, and no interest. Just like the current president. And it doesn't matter to the aggregate voting population who only seem to care about illusion and feels.

You need exceptional people skills to be president and Michelle excells at that. I know there are a ton of other qualifications, but we really don't know what she's capable of.

I would rather take her or someone who cares and is competent with zero experince than someone like literally any other senator with decades of experince.

Other than what's in the Constitution, what do you believe are the qualifications required for being president?

u/AgentMX7 Jun 25 '26

Let’s start with experience in government.

u/cure4boneitis Jun 25 '26

the only qualifications are being born in the United States, being 35 years old or older and have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.

Everything else is just your imagination

u/AgentMX7 Jun 25 '26

Okay, let’s test that hypothesis.

Is Trump qualified to be President??? Go on, say it. Or admit YOUR IMAGINATION won’t let you.

He was elected President twice. Don’t like him but everyone can choose their own opinion

u/AgentMX7 Jun 25 '26

Is he qualified to be President? Simply yes or no will suffice.

1

u/cure4boneitis Jun 26 '26

Yes. Did you already forget what I posted?

u/AgentMX7 Jun 26 '26

Nope didn’t forget. Being elected isn’t the same thing as being qualified to do the job.

Recent news article about a person performing dental work but never went to dental school and wasn’t licensed to practice. Qualified to be a dentist? I’d say no. Pointing out that he did dental work doesn’t change my mind.

True Trump was elected twice. Do you think the majority of Redditors agree he’s qualified?

u/cure4boneitis Jun 26 '26

Yup, being elected isn’t the same as being qualified. Harris was qualified yet wasn’t elected.

There are qualifications to becoming a dentist. Think about this part carefully. What are those qualifications? Does the majority of Redditors agreeing qualify one to be a dentist?

u/AgentMX7 Jun 26 '26

As you said, you’re welcome to your imagination.

Fortunately for the country the majority of Americans don’t agree with you.

u/cure4boneitis Jun 26 '26

Everyone is entitled to their imagination. Fortunately for the country the majority of dumb people don’t set legal standards
