One thing I like about Trump is he is a player character, he has his views and his vision. He might be wrong, he might be gauche, but he is a person. And he is trying to do things as he sees fit. Like he’s been talking about unfair trade practices and tariffs for decades. Whether that will help or hurt, I don’t know. But it’s his vision.

This is actually an exception for politicians. Mostly they are NPCs, playing a role at the behest of someone else, part of a bureaucracy that is angling for “the greater good” as defined by itself, i.e., usually what perpetuates its own power.

If you want a country that favors the individual, you are better off with a leader who is one, however flawed, than a leader who is not, however polished.
