    Your comment here indicates you think being able to talk over others is an important part of the job.

    Didn’t even imply that

    Does the president of the most powerful country in the world often need to be the loudest person in the room?

    Didn’t imply that

    Do they need to dominate conversations, preventing other people from talking, to do their job effectively?

    Didn’t imply that.

    In conclusion, you’re trying to argue things I didn’t even say. But I do appreciate how your comment had no ad hominem attacks.

    But yes, I think a powerful person commands respect and can dominate a conversation. Dominating meaning with truth, clarity, intelligence, patience, and persuasiveness. And probably not saying something demeaning, like being talked to like a child, like “I’m talking.”

    Also, don’t immediately think I’m even impling ol trumpster has these qualities because I don’t think he does.
